The Ultra4 2014 season has been jam-packed with nothing short of non-stop action, and it all comes down to this. Wild West Motorsports Park of Reno, NV will host this year’s Nitto National Championship this Saturday, October 18th. Over 100 of the best Ultra4 drivers on the planet will be there, and given the intensity of this untested short course meets rock racing venue, it will be a nail biter till the very end. We’re floored to say the least, having traveled to every Ultra4 race this year (including all 4 European races), a final year-end showdown, in a venue that’s built for drivers & spectators alike, is a welcome addition to any season finale.

For those attending in person, or trying to watch the action online, here’s your cheat sheet for things to come:

We’re nearing the end of the season, but things are far from ending here at Spidertrax. In fact, we’re just getting warming up. Congrats to this years Ultra4 racers for creating what amounted to be one amazing season. Also a big thanks to Ultra4, who named us partner of the year for helping out teams and taking a few photos along the way . It’s a huge honor and we are extremely grateful just to be part of the action. Alright, back to work we go.
