Club Update – Return to Racing in July

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

We are on a trajectory to host Autocross racing at the Fairgrounds beginning in July.  Here is the updated “Shasta AutoX Challenge Series” schedule:

Race 1 & 2  July 11th & 12th

Race 3 & 4: August 8th & 9th

Race 5 & 6: September 12th & 13th

Race 7 & 8: October 3rd & 4th  (Thunderhill w/ North Bay Corvettes)

Race 9 & 10: October 17th & 18th

5 Weekends, 10 races, and hopefully a ton of fun.  Feedback from current and prior year members on proposed event changes was positive – these changes are outlined below:

1.  Online Registration using https://www.motorsportreg.com/
The Club is moving to online registration and payments starting with the July event.  The system provides many benefits outside of eliminating paperwork, including the ability to pre-register, select your run group, and work assignments.  If you are already registered with them, great, if not, sign up, its free.  Registration for the July event will open towards the end of June, when we have the best confidence that we are going to be able to use the Fairgrounds.  More details to come as we get closer to the July date.

2.  Increase in Entry FeesEntry fees are increasing to $32 for Members and $37 for Guests to cover the processing fees for motorsports.reg 

3.  Self TechAs part of online registration, the ‘TTC Tech Sheet’ is available for download for your personal use.  Participants are required to self tech their entry prior to the event, and certify their helmet.  We would do spot inspections at the track to verify.

4.  Spectator Area Moved to West Parking Lot
Only registered racers and Club event staff are allowed entry into the pit area.  Spectators and guests may gather in the parking area facing the pits.  This provides plenty of space for people to maintain social distance.  Spectators can bring chairs, shade covers, beverages, etc. 

5.  Other Changes
– Participants must bring their own compliant helmet.  We will not be renting helmets or asking anyone to share them. 
– Bring your own beverages and food.  No ice chests / community water or food will be provided by the Club- Camping is still allowed at the facility, but there are no Club social events or gatherings planned.
Our next Club meeting is coming up on June 16th and we plan to have it at Players in Anderson, social hour at 6 with meeting at 7pm.
