This was already the very last Reno, announcement was made much earlier in the year. Supposedly Aaron Hoag's crash there in an L-39 last year had no bearing on the decision.
RARA have been looking for an alternate site; one possibility is a proposed "Spaceport" to be built SW of Las Vegas, though I don't think any ground has been broken in starting the build there! The owners are keen to host the races.
