2006 Northern Nevada Flat Track TT Championship Series
Round 6: Rattlesnake Raceway
FALLON, NV, MAY 20

On May 20th the Lahontan Auto Racing Association (LARA) welcomed motorcycle and quad ATV racers back to the Rattlesnake Raceway in Fallon, NV for round three of the 2006 Northern Nevada Flat Track TT Championship Series. And boy was it a happy reunion! Since the rainout of the April 22 flat track opener at Rattlesnake, riders young and old from all over N. NV had been very antsy to try out the newly renovated race track.

In process since the end of the ’05 stock car season, the LARA, with track builder Harold Lease, has expanded the stock car oval to 1/3 of a mile and raised the banking to 15 degrees. Riders walking the track before practice seemed dwarfed by corners rising to almost 40 feet above the infield. “There’s enough room here at Rattlesnake to have it all,” said Harold, as he pointed out the main features of a newly cut TT course. “Since I race myself, I wanted a course layout that would be fun for skilled riders not just fast bikes. Watch, with all those corners and chicanes down in the infield I think you’ll see a lot more opportunities for the best kind of racing – back and forth passing!”

The LARA also used their experience with local dirt to build a great flat track which held up very well for being created from brand new materials. It was probably the first time most riders got a good taste of what it means to race on a truly tacky surface. And you could see the differences in results from the heat races to the main events. Between the huge banked corners, the technical infield and the blue-grooving, the pits were constantly buzzing with bench racing recommendations. From novices to Pros, everybody was having fun doing something to adjust their advantages.
