National Open

Anyone going to Top Gun in Fallon NV this weekend for the Nat Open. I know it is far from LA with almost 4000 ft DA and not thought of as a great track but 1 more grade point and something to do before Sonoma Pts and Nat next month.

Last time we were there in 2011 - the DA 7500 ft

Not good

PASS! Showing 89 deg and 7000’ right now. Bring back Famoso! If it’s hot there at least it’s still relatively fast.

And I'd much rather drive to Bakersfield. Not only is Fallon quite a bit farther, when I drove to it I got a new appreciation for the term "middle of nowhere".

Last time we went was 2011 when they still had points meet. Track was sandy and sun was right behind the tree a lot of the day.

Only 22 Cars in Stock...About as low as we have seen at a Div 7 Points Race in last 20 years.

At least Jon Jr. won in the Wagon = Beating Jim Durham in his Duster
in a great race in the final.

I use to say "Fallon is the end of nowhere because you have to drive through the middle of nowhere to get there.
