VEGAS
TO RENO
T
he 2016 General Tire "Vegas
to Reno" race in the Nevada
desert is in jeopardy, with environ-
mental groups asking the White
House Council on Environmental
Quality to prevent the use of a
route through a newly established
national monument.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Man-
agement is conducting an assess-
ment of the application to route
part of the 640-mile race through
the Basin and Range National
Monument. The event, organized
by the Best in the Desert Rac-
ing Association, is scheduled for
August 19-20. The complaint to
the White House came from the
Washington-based Public Employ-
ees for Environmental Ethics. CN
