2024 Fundraising Kickoff:  Each year we choose organizations helping others in our community for our charity drive – past beneficiaries include the Haven Humane Society, Northern California Wheelchair Athletics, The Carr Fire Relief Fund, Connected Living Food Bank, The Good News Rescue Mission, the Northern California Veterans Museum, Toys for Tots, Adopt a Family, and the Shasta County Child Support Services Backpack and School Supply Drive.  We have raised over $18,000 in support of local charities over the last 7 years through the hard work of our club volunteers and supporters.

This year, we are helping with Park Fire relief.  We are donating to the United Way of Northern California and are also helping Kristy and Michael Daneau, a family that lost their Paradise home in the Camp fire in 2018, and again have lost their home in Cohasset in the Park fire.  Participate in the raffle for as little as $5 and have a chance at winning some fabulous prizes in the general raffle.  For a chance at winning a 2025 Season Pass, or other big ticket items from our sponsors, tickets are $25.  You can donate online as part of your race registration, or we will also take cash / credit / checks at the track during the September and October events.  

Raffle drawings will be held at our year end celebration Enduro weekend October 26th & 27th and you do not need to present to win. We appreciate donations for the raffle!  If you are able to donate automotive themed or local service items, please reach out to me or Jeremy!

After our July top-speed weekend at the kart track, we slowed it down for our August event with a technical two lap gated course favoring finesse and quick thinking.  We went with a 5 second missed gate penalty vs. a DNF as we know people would be missing some gates and would still want a time, and no one figured out a strategic way to game it so that worked out well – if you see the results and see people with 5+ penalty that is why,  It was one of the coolest August weekends in recent memory and great for racing, thank-you to everyone who made it out to race with us.  

Troy Dewell managed a clean sweep for Top Time in his supercharged XP Miata, making it look easy, while Blake DeWit and Brian Berry battled for PAX, each winning a day and setting up a showdown for the last race of the Season for all the monies.  Fastest novices were Garet Eastman in a Honda CIVIC Si Saturday and Jacob Labowsky in a Miata on Sunday – congratulations!  

Full results:  https://trinitytouringclub.com/race-results/ – two drops have been applied to the YTD results with two more coming after the September event, we score best 8 of 12 for the season.  Let me know of any issues with the results.

We are finishing up details for this year’s fundraiser that will conclude at our Fall Enduro, and will have registration open soon for our final points race weekend September 21st and 22nd.

Come join us at the Shasta Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, August 17th and 18th for rounds 9 and 10 of the Shasta AutoX Challenge Series!  Just 4 events remain in our points season plus our Fall Enduro so don’t miss out!  Club t-shirts available for $10, 40th anniversary stickers are $5, and it promises to be a cool weekend so start time will be the usual 9am.
