Double Header Race Results

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Our first ever double header event was a big hit!  Beautiful day, fast track, and a great group of racers are all we need to have fun on a Saturday.  Cones were minimal, so paying attention to the course was a requirement, and it did catch a few racers out initially.  At the end of the morning event, it was David Winterburn taking top time of day in the DSR Sports Racer by a full second over Troy Dewell in the XP Miata, and the only racer in the 33 second bracket.  For PAX, it was the Ecoboost HPP vs. the Elantra N with the Mustang taking top spot by 0.015, and our fastest Novice of the morning session was Robert Adamscheck in a Focus ST.

For the afternoon session, it was a battle between Troy Dewell in the XP Miata and Larry Nelson in the Brunton Stalker Super, with Troy taking the top time and holding down the only 33 second time of the day.  David’s Sports Racer popped tire and could not contend for a win unfortunately.  Notable mention is Garret Murphy taking 3rd overall by 0.001 over Danny Ide in the ’48 Willys.  Max Power drove the Elantra N (D streetified for this year) to a PAX win by 0.06 over Keith Smith in the CAMT Camaro.  Lots of close battles!

Sharon and Ted Haley Spring Enduro 2024 Results

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

We were blessed with dry weather and a great group of racers for our spring enduro, honoring our friend and colleague Sharon Haley and her late husband Ted, who were both instrumental to the development and sustainment of our little racing club over the years.  We missed Sharon dearly this weekend, but had a great event with a lot of people pitching in to help out – she would have been proud, but have a few things to say, I’m sure.  Saturday, Larry Nelsen in the Brunton Stalker Super claimed top time, chased by Troy Dewell in his XP Miata.  Sunday, it was Troy with a record setting time of 181.215 for the 5 lap enduro and first top time for the supercharged Miata.  Blake DeWit sailed his ES Miata to commanding PAX wins both days.  We also had two Novice graduations with Arbor Evans and Oliver Bagnell completing two events and moving on to their car classes for the year.  Thank-you to everyone who made it out this weekend for a fun two days of autocross, and we are looking ahead to a great year of events.

We are moving this month’s Club meeting as it fell on Valentine’s Day to the weekend event at the Kart Track, so if you were planning to ditch your S.O. using the meeting as an excuse, you’ll need a new excuse.  We’ll find a time this weekend to sync up on Club business including our season schedule and merch.

We are a Go for this weekend, though it does look to be wet.  We’ll have some cover from the rain and a challenging course, and we hope you’ll join us for a great opportunity to autocross on the Shasta Kart Klub track just south of the Redding Drag Strip.  Please sign up now http://msreg.com/ttc2024ps2  * and please plan to be at the track for the first driver’s meeting each day so we can rearrange run groups as needed to cover workstations.  It should be a great weekend for seat time and we hope to see you there!

We have the facility starting Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon.  Overnight camping is allowed on Saturday (no power or water).  Food and fuel are nearby at Rancho Rd. and Airport Rd.  There is seating, picnic tables, and some rain cover.  The access road and parking areas are gravel – go slowly.  RV Parking area is paved.  The staging lanes are paved – please do not park on the staging lanes.  All of the rules we have at the Shasta Speedway apply here as well, no drugs or alcohol, children and pets must be supervised, no aggressive driving on the access roads, etc.
