June in Fallon means Octane Fest is back once again.

The annual motorsports festival commences June 12-14 at three locations with action for various fans.

Drag racing enthusiasts have three days of heart-pounding speed as the NHRA Desert Heat series at Top Gun Speedway rolls in conjunction with Octane Fest.

Rattlesnake Raceway features two days of dirt track racing on June 13-14, while the big show at the Churchill County Fairgrounds is back for another two-day event.

The monster truck show is the highlight of the weekend and doors open at 6 p.m. on June 12.

It kicks off at 7 p.m. with the high-flying freestyle motocross tentatively pitting California against Nevada riders. Taking center stage next is a show from the Northern Nevada Outlaw Karts drivers, as the youngsters put on a display for the crowd.

Closing the show is the highly anticipated monster truck show followed by the Beast Jet Dragster. In addition, the June 12 show includes a free pit party for those fans who purchase a ticket.

On June 13, the show returns with one difference, in place of the karts will be mud racing finals. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 7 p.m.

Admission to the show on June 12 is $13 for adults and $9 for children 10 and under. Prices on June 13 increase by $1 for adults and children.
