[DeTomaso] NPC - Reno Fernley Raceway in Car & Driver

[Mike Thomas]

Doug Braun has been auto crossing his '73 for over 30 years, even gone to
SCCA Nationals once or twice, if I'm not mistaken.

My answer to your remark that our cars are not set up for Autocrossing is
that you apparently don't know how to drive it that well.  Jack and I
autocrossed first another club member's Pantera and then ours for several
years with winning results against much lighter weight cars.  I also proved
that one does not need power steering to do so!  


Wanna see my trophies??

 All,

Yes, RFR is up and running. I spoke with the General Manager some weeks ago
and things do indeed look positive for their continued operation.

Likewise, I spoke with the GM at Spring Mountain and they too are in fine
shape, and would love to have us return. They added additional track to the
bottom of the N/S layout we have used that lengthened the back straight
quite a bit.

As for a move to San Diego for the Fun Rally, that is NOT yet decided. The
SD folks were to gather prices and pertinent info and present it to the POCA
Board and Fun Rally Committee at the end of September. I have not heard of
any decision yet being made.

If it does indeed move to SD, there is NO track that is close enough for our
Speed Trials, and the closest is WAAAAY too expensive anyways. The best that
SD could offer would be a parking lot Autocross, for which most of our cars
are not really set-up for optimal results.

My vote is to return to Reno and stage a two day event at RFR.
