Fireworks 400 info?

[Robert HDRA]

Well I didn't get an answer yet (#36) and I have another question. There's a chance the prerunner we were planning on using wont be ready for the race. I saw in a thread somewhere that the track is getting some sections graded. The question is if we can use a semi stock bronco or truck to go thru the entire course without going 5 mph for long periods of time? I looked into the wide open deal and it is just a little too expensive for us at this time. We would like to know soon to be able to plan the logistics of the race. Thanks in advance.

B. Evertt,
We are working on the camping question, we have not forgot you, but like all first time events, the logistics and planning are huge. It is going to be awesome. As far as the Bronco question, the course is exactly like a race course should be, naturally rough in some areas and other where you can open it up. A 4WD can go anywhere on the course without getting stuck and would plan on averaging 8-13 MPH in a stock vehicle. So spliting your recon run into two days would be preferred with a stock vehicle. There are also areas where you will want to pull over and stop and take in the views of Reno from above, herds of wild horses, marmets, chucker and other wildlife, so that kills your average MPH also. Bring your camera. Thanks

Any update on the camping on pit row question? Will there be a charge for parking at the main pit overnight? Will there be a 1 day membership option for prerunning? I'd like to take the kids on a lap and would hate to pay for memberships for them to go one lap. Thanks
