The 2024 autocross pre-season started with a hearty group of racers taking on a slalom course in conditions that varied from soaking wet to mostly damp, with a healthy dose of grit.  Those who stuck around Saturday were treated to an awesome afternoon ‘fun run’ session in the mostly dry, and by Sunday the sun had returned for everyone.  We took advantage of the casual practice day vibe and ran fun runs first thing on Sunday to help dry out the track and get everyone ready for a fast day of racing.  The weekend’s stand-out performer was Max Power in the STU classed Elantra N, taking top time both days and leaving everyone else scrambling for second, with Jerry Shaha a very close second on Sunday by just 0.063 seconds in his STR Miata.  PAX saw the return of the ES Miatas to the top of the results, with Jeremy McNeely fastest Saturday for his first ever PAX win, and Blake DeWit on Sunday landing a familiar first, this time on 5 year old tires.  Our fastest Novice on Saturday was Paytonne Evans in a Mini Convertible, and Sunday saw Sean Kelly fastest in a BMW 330ci.  We had a great group and a very smooth event for our first time out since October.   A big thank-you to everyone for making it out to race with us!

We had a great result for our annual fundraiser!  Thank-you to everyone who bought tickets for the raffles and came out to race with us in September and October.  The raffle brought in $1,000 which along with our entry fee, helmet, and t-shirt income has our cash replenished from our July donation to the Shasta County Child Support Services annual kids backpack drive – checkout their thank-you card on https://www.facebook.com/trinitytouringclub/.  We will do another one next year so be thinking of local organizations we can help.

As we look ahead to next year, we need to thank all of our board members for their work in 2023.  David Espinosa, Jerry Shaha, Shane Larsen, and Shawn McNeely have been fantastic partners in all things race setup and race day, as well as making those monthly club meetings to keep us all on track.  We hope you’ll consider doing it again next year!  

We need nominations for all positions (President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer*, and 4 Board Members) for 2024 so we can vote at our next club meeting on Tuesday, November 21st  Reply via email with nominations or text them, the nominee needs to be aware and able to serve. 

The Trinity Touring Club is finishing our year with our Fall Enduro October 21st and 22nd at the Shasta Speedway.  Saturday will feature two laps per run to give you some practice for Sunday’s 5 lap main event – we will use the same track, same direction for both days.  Rain or shine!  Campers are welcome!   

Our annual fundraising drive concludes this weekend – you can enter the raffles online as part of your registration.  This year we have fabulous prizes* from our sponsors and friends.  $5 gets you 6 entries in the general raffle.  We will also have a grand prize raffle featuring a 2024 Season Pass donated by Sharon Haley for all of our races at the Shasta Speedway next year – enter for $25 for a chance to win!  Tickets will also be available at the track, and the drawing will be held on Sunday October 22nd.

Saturday evening we will host a “Crocktoberfest Cookoff” and potluck at the track so plan to return around 4:30pm and bring your favorite crockpot entree or a side dish.  Make your best chili, soup, or stew, or whatever else you can serve up in a crock pot.  The club will provide all the utensils and a place to plug in, as well as soft drinks.  BYOB!
