Reno track?

Have any of you been to the track near Reno? I've never heard of it before until today, looks like it would be fun...

Other than the drive to and from yes. It is actually a few miles before Reno, kind of in the middle of nowhere. That is one of the tracks that is normally open all year for us however it does get rather chilly there in the winter months. If you are willing to drive to Reno, I would say drive the extra couple hours to Thunder hill or Infineon.

Is it not a good track or do you get more for your money at Thunderhill/Infineon?

reno fernley is a phenominal track. has like 37 turns if you ride the full layout. i personally love that track. however, they do have some pavement issues. it gets pretty bumpy in spots. i don't mind it, but i also don't push it on tracks which are that far away. so, i ride at about 80% and it seems like the bumps don't affect me much. i have a lot of friends though that are much faster and get pretty uncomfortable out there.

Such a shame that the pavement is rough, the layout looks good, hopefully they'll resurface it sometime.

btw..do you still have your Husqi for sale?
