WORD

Has anyone been paying attention to what is happening to off-road racing in Nevada. For years we have been warned by activists racing has been threatened in the Southern Nevada desert. A mysterious shutdown of SNORE’s McKenzies event at Primm in December blamed on COVID. Reschedule of the Mint 400 to December on top of another race. Reno to Vegas switched back to Vegas to Reno. Then there is Caliente. Only two permits a year issued out of the BLM office in that district forcing SNORE to cancel its Caliente race next month. New government red tape forcing Best in the Desert to secure a dust permit to hold qualifying at Apex? The list goes on. It’s time to wake up and fight! Series are having an increasingly hard time securing permits in the state of Nevada. The flags are flying red everywhere and we need to act now and help those coalitions that fight to keep our off-road lands open. This needs to be front and center today.
