Reno-Fernley Raceway (RFR) opened in 2003 to mixed reviews. Tucked beneath the western foothills of Nevada, the property has a pleasant and scenic setting, with the liability of a hot windy day in the summer. At times though, these dry summer days are relieved by a quick thunderstorm that can wash off the track, and have folks back driving in 30 minutes. While everyone seemed to love the very quick and slightly banked esses going down the hill at the end of the main straightaway, and enjoyed the challenge of the double apex turning you around to head uphill, the track was a bit sluggish from there.
