The Fairgrounds let us know this afternoon that Cal Fire needs the speedway area so we are cancelling the Sunday August 25th race.  This is due to the Mountain Fire up in Jones Valley.  We will regroup in the next week or so to see if it is feasible to reschedule or not – if we do, I’ll be sure to let everyone know.  Our next scheduled event is now at Thunderhill the weekend of September 28th and 29th. 

Please stay safe!

The Trinity Touring Club is hosting autocross racing at the Shasta Speedway this Sunday!  Come on out and race with us this weekend!  Novices are always welcome!
We expect a hot day, and will have shade, iced waters, cold Gatorade, and a Portacool to help manage the heat.  Dress accordingly and remember you must have close-toed shoes for racing (no sandals / flip flops / bare feet).We 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, and bring out the whole family for a day of racing.  The kart will be out of it’s cage and ready to rock this weekend!
