Shasta AutoX Challenge Series – October + Season Results

By | Uncategorized | No Comments
Our final race weekend went off without a hitch and had some very competitive racing.  Brian Nunes and Blake DeWit did a fabulous job with Race Director duties, we had a nice chili dinner with desserts Saturday night, and we had a couple of riders try out the go-kart on Sunday – it was a great way to cap off what has been an eventful season.
Saturday and Sunday was a hunt for the fastest time between Danny Ide and ‘Fast’ Larry Nelson, with Larry besting the field on Saturday, and Danny taking the trophy for Sunday.  Blake DeWit put a period on the PAX season with back to back PAX and ES class wins.  The complete race weekend results and year end results are now posted – http://www.trinitytouringclub.com/race-results/  Please let me know right away if you see anything amiss with the results.
We will be celebrating our season winners and electing our 2019 officers on Saturday, November 3rd at the Expressive Learning Center, 2655 Bechelli Lane in Redding.  I’ll be sending a follow-up to club members soon.  Our first pre-season race of 2019 is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, January 20th, rain or shine.
We are still looking for nominations for officers and board members so please reach out to me if you would like to help out next year – even if you weren’t a club member this year.
cheers!
– Brian
