Saturday started with an untimed, non-competitive practice lap to splash out some of the puddles as we had clear skies but a wet track.  It was a fun way to start the day and gave our novices a little confidence they wouldn’t get lost later.  After our 5 competition runs, Top Time of the Day went to Maggie Elorza in a BMW M235i x-Drive, who was the only driver to get into the 48 second bracket.  PAX went to Blake DeWit in a Honda Accord.  Class winners included Maggie for Street, Garret Murphy for Touring in a 300ZX, Brian Berry for Modified in the fabulous Ford Focus SVT, and the fastest Novice was 16 year old Caitlyn Singler in a Subaru BRZ.  

Sunday we had a dry track, sunny weather, and a full house, so we kept it to 4 competition runs.  Rick Dunbar was super fast in the Suzuki Special, scoring the only 44 second time and Top Time of Day.  PAX was a close battle with Blake earning the top spot, followed by Keith Smith and Maggie, both just over a tenth of a second behind Blake.  Class winners were Blake for Street, Andrew Barbitta in a Subaru WRX STI for Touring, Tim Hasick in a Dodge Viper for Prepared, and the fastest Novice was Frank Lewis in a Miata.

We have one more pre-season weekend coming up on March 13th & 14th, rain or shine.  Registration will be open on MSR soon, and our full season calendar will be available in the coming weeks.

We had a blast for our first race in January, so we’re back at it for a full weekend of February pre-season autocross racing, rain or shine.  All of our races this year will be managed online via motorsports.reg.  To sign up for the February pre-season race, please go to msreg.com/ttc2021ps2 (Saturday) and msreg.com/ttc2021ps3 (Sunday).

Thank-you to everyone who took time out of their weekend to join us at the track Sunday for some pre-season fun.  We had a long course setup for seat time, and dry weather for two of the three run groups – run group 3 was a slippery mess, followed by some really soggy fun runs.  It turned into a longer day than we expected, but we really appreciate the racers who stuck around and helped us pick up in the rain – you’re the best!

Andrew Barbitta was the fastest driver on Sunday, with a 90.11 second time in his STU classed WRX STI.  PAX went to Blake DeWit in an HS Honda Accord, picking up where he left off last year in his Miata.  At the top of their class were Blake for Street, Andrew for Touring, Tim Hasick for Prepared in a Dodge Viper, Brian Berry for Modified in the super sexy Focus SVT, and our fastest Novice was Tim Sammut in an Audi S4.

The organizers have canceled this weekend’s competition at Thunderhill due to air quality concerns for the health and safety of the participants.  This means TTC is not racing this weekend.  Registered participants should have gotten an email via MSR earlier today.

If you are willing to travel a bit more, Reno has an event this weekend and registration is open on MSR:  https://renoscca.motorsportreg.com/

We are evaluating whether we can book another weekend at the Speedway and keep our planned 10 race season and will send an update on the schedule when we have more information.

The deadline is here to sign up and race with the Corvette club at Thunderhill this weekend.  There is no onsite registration, all entrants must be signed up on MSR by October 1st @ 11am.  Don’t expect to just show up and waive sweaty money in someone’s face, it won’t work.  You need to be signed up via MSR and complete the Speedwaiver to race.

Thanks to all who made it out to our September points race!  It was a tight battle for top time all weekend between Boris Podtetenieff in the Tesla Model 3 Performance and Larry Nelson in the Brunton Stalker – these were the only two racers with times in the 61’s both Saturday and Sunday.  Boris got the win, sweeping the weekend for Top Time, and pulling off the rare double on Sunday, with a PAX win as well.  Saturday’s PAX winner was Blake DeWit in his E Street Miata.

Saturday’s Class winners were Blake for Street, Jerry Shaha for Touring in an STR Miata, Larry for Modified, Boris for Prepared, Keith Smith for CAM, and Garret Murphy was the fastest Novice in a Nissan 300ZX.  Sunday’s Class winners included Blake, Jerry, Larry, and Boris.
