Motel 6 is technically closest to the track, being on the south end of town, but it's still 12 miles out.

You can camp in the pits at Top Gun, I'm just not sure if they open it up Friday night or Saturday morning. If you're looking to stay in an RV park I would recommend the Fallon RV park over the other one.

great info Michelle...i'm trying to find out if they'll open the gates on Friday also...doesn't look like it..i'm planning on driving up Thursday after work and staying in an RV park until Saturday morning, then moving to the track and leaving Sunday..

There are cats in the Stillwaters and Clan Alpines east of town, sometimes they follow the river to the edges of town. I'll have to ask the Mr if there's any particular spot that's good.

Unfortunately due to lack of money and a couple of bills I forgot about I am not going to be able to make it to Fallon for the Diesel drags

I hope you all have fun. Someone have a beer for me.

Sorry to hear the bad news, Jeff - I was looking forward to meeting you as I'm sure others were.

I'll have one for you, since you asked...

Could someone get a list of events for the Vegas, Reno and surrounding areas? I will supply a list for Elko and surrounding area including Wendover. I know we have a car show later in the year as well as speed week on the salt flats.

After I get the lists I will post a master list and then we can figure out the best time for everybody to get together.

Have fun

BTW, we have a new member.
