August Race Results

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

It was a hot and fast weekend of racing with the Trinity Touring Club!  We had different overall winners each day and some very close competition. 
Saturday, Troy Dewell was fastest in his DP Miata, with Keith Smith taking PAX in his CAM-T Camaro.  Class winners included Boris Podtetenieff for Prepared in the Tesla Model 3 Performance, Blake DeWit for Street in his ES Miata, Heinz Simoneit for Touring in his STX Civic SI, and ‘Fast’ Larry Nelson for Modified in the Brunton Stalker Super. 

Sunday, it was Larry Nelson at the top of the speed chart, getting around the course in a ‘zen’ worthy run of 61.373 (the only sub 62 second time of the weekend).  The PAX winner was Praneil Prasad who expertly guided his 2016 STR Miata to a dominating PAX win – great job!  Class winners included Praneil for Touring, Boris for Prepared, Blake for Street, and Larry for Modified.

We plan to do it all again September 12th & 13th.  Hope to see you there!
