July 2024

Our weekend at the Shasta Kart Klub went smoothly despite the heat – the schedule worked out well with events concluding by 1pm both days, avoiding the worst of it except for us hapless souls who did set up on Friday. Some cars, hearts, and RV air conditioners were broken by the end of it all, we missed Jeremy, but the human spirit carried on. The track has had some maintenance since we last visited in February and was plenty fast, with fresh sealant and newly painted curbs. David Winterburn drove the DSR Sports Racer to the top of the speed charts both days (41.50 on Sunday), with Danny Ide runner up Saturday and Larry Nelson Sunday, both in EM. PAX went to Brian in the DS Mustang Ecoboost Saturday and to Keith Smith in the CAMT Camaro Sunday. Our fastest novices were Joe Brattoli Saturday and Mark Simonds, both in Corvettes.

We appreciate everyone who made it out to race with us for a fun and safe weekend – full results: https://trinitytouringclub.com/race-results/

Our next event is coming up August 17th and 18th (early start!) at the Fairgrounds in Anderson and we are looking for track designs from our racers. Send us an email or make a reply here with your idea, or bring it to our Club meeting on August 14, and we may be racing your track that weekend!
