Staff Report 

The Fallon Post and Les Schwab Presents are hosting a fundraising car show to benefit Top Gun dragstrip as it continues to repair the extensive damage to the track that occurred after torrential rains battered Top Gun racing facilities last June.

The event will also showcase a Betty Vega Family Friendly Pinup Girl Contest with Fallon’s own Betty Vega. The event is set for Sunday, September 10, at the Les Schwab Tire Center at 2555 Reno Hwy, in Fallon. Contestants will need to check in at 8 a.m. for a 9 a.m. car show kickoff time.

Also participating in the event will be Dale Walker, who frequently competes on his high-speed racing motorcycles “Frankenzuki” and “Igor” at the Top Gun dragstrip. Walker is the owner of Hole Shot Performance and invites everyone to come to the show and take a closer look at his performance bikes. Both American and foreign motorcycles will be competing for prizes.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
