Pre-Season Race #2 Results – Next Race Moved to March 11th!

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
We had a great group racing with us on Sunday for our second pre-season event!  Thanks to everyone who made it out for a really nice day at the track, and to everyone who pitched in to help with setup, breakdown, and keeping the event running smoothly.

Fast time of the day went to Danny Ide in his EM Willys – Danny was also the class winner for the Modified group.  Blake Dewitt captured the PAX and Street class wins in his ES Miata.  Other class winners were Josh Davies in his DSP Mustang GT for Prepared, and Michael Chaney in a sweet Focus RS for Novice.

Complete results are posted at http://www.trinitytouringclub.com/race-results/

Our next scheduled event conflicted with the SSCC Spring Enduro, so we are moving our date back to the next available date, which is Sunday, March 11th, two weeks from now.
