Re: Reno Fernley reopens!

Looks like there is room in this year's schedule for a Reno race in early November. Do it Jay!

Re: Reno Fernley reopens!

Reno kicked my ass. Without someone to follow I was totally lost over the top 2/3rds of the track.

Following people was also a horrible idea, but at least you had a small heads up about your impending doom. It gave you a half second warning to contemplate your stupidity when the fool in front disappeared in a big dust cloud. Great brakes in a slow car helped.

Can't wait to go back!

Bring a set of snow tires if you come in November, just in case.

Our Capri is still jetted for the altitude. Wonder why it blew up at Sears Point?

Naw, with the escaping steam and the cooling crosswind blowing over the engine cover at opposite lock, we had the fire well under control...
