What a crowd we had out for our first points race of the year with 39 drivers hitting the asphalt for Spring Enduro practice on Saturday – weather was cool but a wonderful day for racing.  Danny Ide took the Top Time of Day in his ’48 Willys followed closely by the McNeelys in their wide tire turbo Miatas.  Blake DeWitt returned to the top of the PAX charts in his ES Miata by 0.095 over Robert Foster in his AS Corvette Grand Sport, and our fastest Novice was Mark Felch in a circle track caged Honda Civic.  The two lap course had drivers reversing direction for lap two, and caught quite a few drivers out – we had an alarming number of DNFs, but everyone got at least one time, and some valuable practice for what not to do on Sunday.

Sunday still broke a few hearts and left some carnage.  We started with a two lap practice warm-up, then sent each car out for their 5 lap Enduro.  Axel Mussman kicked off the trail of tears with an overheating problem that stopped a terrific looking run on lap 4, David Winterburn had a throttle sticking and couldn’t finish his laps, Blake DeWitt suffered a catastrophic front sway bar mount failure on the practice lap and had to go to a backup car (thanks Troy!), and Danny Ide, well, Danny had a wild run that ended in a sea of splattered cones on the tail end of lap 5.

One driver overcame the challenges of the day – Robert Foster – and earned a clean sweep Top Time of Day and PAX in the wicked fast Corvette, besting the field by over a second raw time and nine seconds for PAX.  Robert nearly pulled off the same feat in the Fall Enduro, such a fantastic run and a great job!  Our fastest Novice Sunday was new Club member Kurtis Bell in a Porsche Boxter.

Thank-you for your support and patience as we get going for another great year of autocross with the Trinity Touring Club!

We are going to try one more time to have our second pre-season weekend autocross next weekend, March 4th & 5th.  If you’ve already registered online and can make it next weekend, you don’t need to do anything.  If you can’t make it, you should be able to cancel online, or just reply to this email.

The date is not yet confirmed with the Fairgrounds and we still need our liability insurance, so consider it tentative.  If we can’t clear the schedule or get the insurance inforce for those dates, then we will have to scrub the event all together and our next race will be the season opening Enduro March 25th and 26th.

We are still waiting for our 2023 liability insurance policy, and unfortunately it is not yet in force, so we are unable to put a tire on the race track this weekend.  I’m sorry for the inconvenience and late notice, we had a “last chance” deadline of Noon today that has passed, so we are rescheduling to next weekend.

The sun came out but didn’t do much to heat things up for our January pre-season weekend, but not to worry, as we brought the heat!  We had a fast, technical track that had some racers caught out for at least a run or two, but with six runs, everyone got it figured out by the end.  A big thanks to Jeremy for the fun track, and to our great group of racers and Club members that made it out for a couple of days of January racing.

Boris Podtetenieff was the fastest racer both days in the Tesla Model S Plaid, old tires or not.  Our PAX winner Saturday was Blake DeWit in his ES classed Miata, and Sunday, it was Brian Berry in the DS classed Mustang Ecoboost HPP.  The fastest Novices were David Starkey in his Corvette on Saturday, and AJ Delgado in a Tesla Model 3 Performance on Sunday.
