Because of the rock in the track the track builders will be screening 44,000 cubic yards of dirt for a 3 foot cap!




Check out the corkscrew turn- You'll need to visualize this but as all the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series tracks this will look totally different come race day.



Top of turn 1 looking back at Corkscrew and front stretch. The top of 1 and Top of 4 have 100 ft of Elevation change!!



Coming off the corkscrew turn 4 to the Start Finish line.


This is short course history being written! If you seen what was built at Lake Elsinore and like the elevation changes of Chula Vista then I believe you will love this track.

I wasn't looking forward to the drive to Reno until I saw these pics, as a photographer I can't wait to shoot this track with no big obstructions between the skys and mountains.

will the whole course be visible from one seating position or does it disappear out of sight like Crandon?


any detentions on the track?

[baja619]

The only thing that looks obstructed would be the top plane take off to ski jump. Just like at chula vista's quarry.

My speculation

Here are a couple Reno pics to get things stirred up. - Thanks Kevin for the updates and info!



Beginning of the cut for turn 4 Corkscrew. 100' drop to main straightaway.



Looking from turn 4 down front straightaway. 1300 feet long

Is there enough water there to keep the track wet? Looks amazing!

Turn one roughed in and ready to cap.

"cap"??... like put other dirt on top of it or the sifted stuff??

After the tracks roughed in the good dirt goes on top like icing on a cake.
