Go Fund Me for Bradley Smith

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
Brad is a new member of the Club this year – he started as a Novice, and has been working on sharpening his driving skills and improving his ’91 Miata this season.  He now competes in STR.  At an event earlier this year, he had some suspension voodoo happen, wrenched on the car, and got it back in the event for time.  Brad loves racing, but is on a shoe string budget, like many.
His friends have started a Go Fund Me campaign to help him recover from an accident at the track this weekend, where he was a passenger.  Please forward along to your contacts in the motorsports community or anyone who might be able to help.

Shasta AutoX Challenge Series – September Results

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
Races #6 and #7 are in the books, and it was an eventful weekend to say the least.  We hosted 95 drivers, did a big spaghetti dinner Saturday night, raffled off a bunch of cool stuff, and exceeded our fundraising goal for the (say it with me) Shasta Regional Community Foundation’s Community Disaster Relief Fund.  The support from our club members, friends, and motorsports community was amazing!  Troy and I will be stopping in at the Foundation tomorrow to give them a check and to thank them for their efforts in rebuilding our community after this summer’s fires.
 
We had a lot of help and participation in this weekend’s events, but a big shout out goes to Jeremy and Kristie McNeely of Perry’s Automotive, who were instrumental in gathering donations for the raffle, and were a big part of Saturday’s dinner.  Thank-you to everyone who chipped in to make the fundraising efforts a success.
 
It was a sweep for Top of Day and PAX, with David Winterburn taking home Top Time in his JBS Sports Racer, and Blake DeWit continuing to beat us all silly for PAX in his ES Miata.  Full results can be found on the Trinity Touring Club website Results page.  Please let me know of any issues you see with the accuracy of the results.
 
Unfortunately, there was a racing accident during the final run group on Sunday, and one of our Club members was injured.  We are following up with those involved to see what we can do, and I will be sending a note shortly to ask, once again, for your generosity and support.

2018 Shasta AutoX Challenge Series Race 6 & 7 + Fundraiser – This Weekend September 22nd & 23rd!

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
The Trinity Touring Club is hosting a weekend of autocross racing to raise money for the Shasta Regional Community Foundation’s Community Disaster Relief Fund.  This is our 6th and 7th points race of the “2018 Shasta AutoX Challenge Series”, and Saturday night the Club is doing a spaghetti dinner fundraiser.  There will be a couple of raffles over the weekend as well, with some neat prizes like a 4 wheel alignment from Perry’s Automotive, or a 2019 TTC Season Pass for all 9 regular series races next year.  Our goal is to raise at least $2000 for the Fund doing what we do best – putting on a great weekend of autocross racing!

Entry fees are unchanged for this event – $35 for non-members, $30 for members.  Club T-shirts are just $10.  Please bring cash or a check.  Novice racers are always welcome!  We have helmets available for rent if you do not have your own.  Club members need to have competed in 4 regular season events to be eligible for a year-end class championship – no better time than this weekend to show us what you got!

Campers are welcome, and the weather is looking to be warm but pleasant.  We also have a Go Kart available for any children age 8 and above who would like to race with us – see a Club member for details.
