I can’t wait for our first event,” Commented Jeff Lepper. NASA had previously run at the track when it first opened and Wood is excited to have NASA return. “We could not be more excited to partner with an organization like NASA.

About Reno-Fernley Raceway: Reno Fernley Raceway is a modern motor sports facility located in northwestern Nevada. The Property sits atop 422 pristine acres in the foothills between Reno and Fernley. The Racetrack boasts over four miles of paved high performance roadway which can be used in 10 separate configurations. Track paving is asphalt and 50 feet in width encompassing sufficient distance to stage three or more different “driving tracks”. Terrain is varied and captures: moderate to extreme elevation changes; hair-pin turns; off camber turns; blind turns and hill crests; increasing radius turns; decreasing radius turns; merging lanes; esses; and a dedicated skid-pad area. The paddock area includes seven acres for parking and vehicle storage.
The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) was formed in 1991 to deliver high quality motorsports events to enthusiasts at major racing venues throughout the nation. NASA has created programs that allow owners of both racecars and high-performance street-driven vehicles to enjoy the full performance capabilities of their cars in a safe and controlled environment. NASA offers many different programs that will allow you to enjoy motorsports on a number of different levels, including our High Performance Driving Events (HPDE), Rally Sport, Time Trial, NASA-X and Competition Racing programs.
