Next Race September 22nd & 23rd – Fund Raiser for Fire Relief

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
The Trinity Touring Club is hosting a weekend event Saturday and Sunday, September 22nd and 23rd, for races #6 & #7 of the Shasta AutoX Challenge Series.  Clear your calendars and plan to join us for a great weekend of racing and to raise money for the Shasta Regional Community Foundation’s Community Disaster Relief Fund!  At the end of the weekend, our goal is to have covered our costs and raise $2000 for the Fund.
We need your help to get the word out, put together some fund raising activities for Saturday and Sunday, and host a spaghetti dinner at the track for Saturday night.
Danny Ide has volunteered to be our Race Director for the weekend.  Race entry fees for each day are unchanged – $30 for Members and $35 for non-members.   Camping at the track is available.  Spaghetti dinner is $10 per person.  We are hoping to have raffles each day of the event with tickets available at $5 or $10, based on the available prizes.  And we’ll be accepting direct donations on behalf of the Fund and can provide a tax receipt if needed.
Help Needed:
  • Do you have services or materials you or your employer would be willing to donate for raffle prizes?
  • Are you able to coordinate Saturday’s dinner?
  • Are you able help prepare food (pasta, salads, deserts) for the spaghetti dinner?
Please send an email if you can help or have other fund raising ideas – your input and participation is appreciated in helping us have a safe, fun, fast, and successful weekend.   trinitytouringclub@gmail.com
Our next club meeting is Tuesday, September 18th and we’ll be finalizing our plans at the meeting.

August Event Canceled

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
Due to the massive wildfire response currently headquartered at the Fairgrounds, we do not have a facility for racing this month – the August 26th event is canceled.
Our regular club meeting is tonight, August 21st, at Players Pizza in Anderson.  Social hour 6pm – 7pm, meeting starts at 7pm.  We’ll be discussing a potential make-up date for the August race, and contingencies in case the facility remains unavailable in September.  We’ll also be gathering ideas for our Charitable giving this year in hopes of doing a fund raiser for one of the many organizations involved in wildfire relief efforts.
So no race this month, let’s all pray for rain, and for the safety of those out trying to bring our area back to normalcy.

Carr Fire Update & Meeting Tuesday, August 21st

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
Our next meeting is on Tuesday August 21st at Players Pizza in Anderson.  Social hour 6pm – 7pm, meeting starts at 7pm.
The Fairgrounds let us know last week that our August date is dependent on the availability of the facility, which is currently being used as a fire camp for fire and utility crews.  The infield, track, pits, spectator lot, and north dirt lot are all in use.  The entrance road off of 273 (Lassen Dr / Gary Cressey Blvd) is now an ‘Exit’ only and there was a constant stream of vehicles when I stopped by yesterday to check things out.
It was awesome to see so many messages thanking the fire crews – they ring the main Fairgrounds parking area and pit area fences – but I really doubt things will have wound down enough in the next 10 days to allow us safe access to all the areas we use for our events.  I will try to get an update from the Fairgrounds prior to Tuesday’s meeting, and am ordering the insurance certificate so we will be ready to race on the 26th if we can.  Stay tuned for updates!
