March 2017

Some of our members braved the weather and made the trip up to Medford for the Siskiyou Sport Car Club’s 14th Annual Spring Enduro last weekend. It was dry for Friday and Saturday practices, but wet for Sunday’s race. The first and last run groups got the worst of it, while groups in between had a damp but drying course. Results are posted on the Siskiyou Sports Car Club website with Danny Ide taking home the trophy for EM, Blake DeWit for FM, and Brian Berry for HS. Jeff McCollough finished 2nd in HS out of a field of 5 entries in his very first autocross race – amazing job and he had a blast. David Winterburn went out in the last run group in the worst conditions of the day, finishing 3rd in BM, however no one came close to his 2015 record for the event. Bo Jensen had to abandon his race run as a tire problem sidelined the 9 car for a while.

Check out some pictures from the weekend in our Gallery, and be sure to visit the SSCC website for upcoming race dates and information.

Our final pre-season race is in the books and results are posted on the Results page.  Despite Jerry Shaha’s multiple rain dances, we raced in the dry on a very fast course!  One note on the results – we had some folks who classed as Novice on the board but were timed under their car class.  When we build the membership file for the season starting next race, we will be using the car class on your tech sheet.  Only classed entries are eligible for season points!

Our next meeting is this Tuesday, March 21st at Angelos Pizza in Redding – meeting starts at 7pm.

Our first points race is right around the corner on Sunday, April 9th.  See you at the track!

Last race before we start the season!  Setup is Saturday at 5pm – please come out to the track and help us get everything ready for the race.  Randy Phelps is our Race Director and will bring us maps for setup.  Gates open at 7:30am on Sunday with driver’s meeting at 9am.  Entry fee is $30 for members and $35 for non-members.

Our next club meeting is the Tuesday following the race, where we will plan for our season opener in April.
