Fallon Open?
 

Scheduled for 13-14th? Anyone?

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Still on their schedule.
Call them..Give us a report ;-)

Re: Fallon Open?
 

I got a text from them today, saying they still had not heard back from the state. They intend to press on unless derailed by the state...

Re: Fallon Open?
 

I received a text it is currently a go with a test and tune on Friday.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Div 7 director Mike Rice has confirmed Fallon open 12th-14th.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

I have never been to Fallon Raceway. It looks like it’s gonna be a 100+ degrees, what is the track and town like? I am guessing it’s pretty much like Palmdale, but don’t know.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

If its warm, the DA will be around 7500+

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Yeah the DA will be up there. The track is at almost 4000' of elevation. Expect barometer to be 25.8X at best. The track was an old Naval air strip so it has some pretty wide gaps in surface but its not a problem really. The town is small but some hotels and good places to eat there for sure. Its a few miles from the track but not to far. Always had a good time racing there to bad the rest of D7 wouldn't go..

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Try and not catch a crack on the top end while your looking anywhere but forward. Return road is tight, scales if used are old. Does get hot and there and not a tree to be found.
Now the good things. The folks that run it are super nice, Rick Carlson usually announces and is very sharp. The staging lanes and all that are nice. Fallon is a nice little town with friendly people.
Did I mention it gets hot there. Bring water and shade!
Best I've seen the fields get are about 25 stockers and 15 super stockers.
They have golf cart races and E.T. pot races usually during the weekend.
Plus a whole lot of qualifying passes.

Forecast is mid to high 80s...


Be advise that there is road construction on US 95 just north of Coaldale Junction. US95 will be closed and the traveling public will be detoured to US 6 to SR 360 to Mina and back to US95. Construction is to repair roadway damaged by earthquakes a couple of weeks ago.

lf you are coming up US 395 after going over Montgomery Pass take a left on SR 360 to Mina and back to US95.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

June 13, 83 deg. , per The Weather Channel

Fallon is not that small, for central Nv. Walmart, grocery chains, etc.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

That's US 395 to Bishop, then US Rt 6 into NV, then 360 to Mina

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Thanks guys for the describing the track and town. I am leaning toward going, lord knows I would really like to get back out racing.

Track staff works real hard to make it a good weekend, I went last year and we had a great time, It does get hot, the elevation is around 4,000 ft but it’s a good time, I have been a total of 4 times, John

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Track is about what you would expect
for a small town/small market local race
track.
But the people are very helpful and friendly!
Track is a way out of town or any services.

Do not expect a big crowd.....Some years
back when Jon Jr. won a Divisional there
and set O/SA Record = Only 22 Cars in Stock
which is as low as I can recall out here in Div. 7

Here in Vegas = We have had to take the fastest
128 for eliminations and a few guys went home without
racing. I loaned out our 80 Mirada to one of our crew guys and
he was #128 @ .41 under ( Bumped out Robbie my other son ).

Everybody out here would love to race.....But no worries about
having to qualify fast enough to race in Fallon Eliminator.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Years ago I use to say Fallon is at the end of nowhere because you have to go through the middle of nowhere to get there.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Anyone have any further information if race is ON!

Jon Jr. is going thru his Stock and SS right now getting
ready to go.

I will be going with him if they are racing and then to Denver....
I will be spectating as I just have not been feeling good enough
to tow and race.

Hope to see a lot of our friends = new and old at the races!

Re: Fallon Open?
 

I'll be there with Nicky, John... Dancing Days are her AGAIN!

Re: Fallon Open?
 

All this sitting around bench racing. The race actually sneaked up on me.
For some reason I thought we were done til August.
My car has been sitting in Paul Wong's shop resting. Time to give it a once over real quick. Our weather here lately has terrible winds. Fallon has a freeze warning this morning. The hot weather won't be a factor that's for sure. Hope I can get out of town to visit with friends, smell racing fuel and hear "Stock to the lanes!"

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Paul...I have 1st hand knowledge that we might be able to get a escort thru the construction zone

Re: Fallon Open?
 

We talked to Mike Rice about 4;30 PM and race is ON!

We will be loading up tomorrow.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

As far as racing do I pay at the door or pay on line only now?

I'm the last person still alive that doesn't use a cell phone.I just love it when someone ask to scan some code off my phone. Thank God for my beautiful wife. Cash has less value now a days.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Thanks Mark, BUT where is the rest of the sheet ?

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Obviously , you've never been to Fallon, and don't know the lay of the land here :-0

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Well, Paul Haz and Errol were coming but I don’t see their names....And to answer your question,...I know the lay of the land BUT....my car usually stops at Vegas, Mesquite or Laughlin.....

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Congrats to Jon Jr. for #1 Qualifier!!

5600 Ft. on our Station.

Hot and Windy plus Dusty = Not Fast.

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Good job!

Re: Fallon Open?
 

Jon and I both lost 2nd round.
Jon would have had 3rd round bye.
I would have had 4th round bye.
The Gentlemen that beat the two of us
like Drums are now going into the Finals!

We are heading to Denver Regional =
If you are there stop by and visit!

Re: Fallon Open?
