| Anybody Ridden The New Track Near Reno? Has anybody had a chance to ride the new track near Reno, Nevada?  Apparently Reno-Fernley Raceway, a new 2.4 mile, 15 turn road course is now open for testing and tuning days, and is scheduling events for next year. It may be another option for us Boiseans - a lot closer than Pahrump. | |

| Re: Anybody Ridden The New Track Near Reno? Look on BARF. Some of them run Reno. |

| Re: Anybody Ridden The New Track Near Reno? A friend of mine has run it a few times and enjoys it. It's also very affordable. I've got a video of a lap around the track if you want me to send it to you. |

| Re: Anybody Ridden The New Track Near Reno? Red Spider has a video of it too. AFM I think had considered going there but many people have said it's not a very safe course yet. In light of recent events I believe that will be their top priority if it wasn't already. AFM is up to a 10% crash rate from 5% |

Watching the video, I'm not sure what would be unsafe except the last turn onto the front straight. There are some poles on the outside and a concrete wall along the straight that should be protected. Otherwise, there's nothing to hit out there except desert. I thought the surface looked "iffy" in the vid but my friend says it's high-grip. | |

| Re: Anybody Ridden The New Track Near Reno? I went the first weekend it was opened with Keigwins. It was a ball  Very fast track. There are some very good write ups on BARF. ie the track and turns. I am going back Sept 11-12. Apex. They are working on the runoff. dirt and big rocks. no trees. Not a lot on ref points. Plus Sat night they have a stock car track. It's like family night. Reno style. I had a great time.  |
