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 entrée 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!  

2023 Fundraiser:  We have donated $2500 to the Shasta County Child Support Services Backpack and School Supply Drive, which was held on August 11th at the Civic Auditorium.

Participate for as little as $5 and have a chance at winning some fabulous prizes in the general raffle.  For a chance at winning a 2023 Season Pass, or other big ticket items from our sponsors, tickets are $25. .  Raffle drawings will be held at noon on October 22nd and you do not need to present to win.

We managed to pick up all of our toys at the kart track and bring them back to the Shasta Speedway for rounds 11 & 12 of the Shasta AutoX Challenge Series this last weekend.  We had a smallish turn out of 24 racers but a lot of enthusiasm and fantastic fall weather.  Boris Podtetenieff in the Tesla Model S Plaid and Danny Ide in the ’48 Willys battled for Top Time both days, with Danny fastest Saturday and Boris fastest on the reversed track Sunday.  Brian in the Mustang Ecoboost HPP took down all PAX challengers for a weekend sweep, and we had a great group of novices, with Nicole Hunt fastest on Saturday in a borrowed Miata, and Jonny Soza fastest Sunday in a Mustang.  Tanner Fielding and Taylor Selberg came out Sunday for a head to head battle in Segway Karts, both did a fantastic job and were within 0.60 seconds at the end of their runs.

We had a spectacular weekend of racing at the Shasta Kart Klub facility south of the Redding Dragstrip.  We hosted 63 racers and turned 551 laps around the course over the two days, with Saturday practice going clockwise, and Sunday points race counterclockwise.  We learned a lot about how to put on an event at this venue and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our members and guests, as well as from the kart club leadership about how the event was conducted.  Our thanks to everyone who came out to support us, especially the new people we met (we hope you’ll be back!} and the old friends we hadn’t seen in a while.  

Saturday was a practice day that saw Rick Dunbar on top of the speed charts in the Factory Five 818 roadster with David Winterburn  in the DRS Sports Racer close behind.  Sunday, Boris Podtetenieff in his Tesla Model S Plaidtook the Top Time by a scant 0.012 over David.  Robert Foster scored PAX for Saturday practice and for the main event Sunday in his wicked fast Corvette Grand Sport.  Mason Mercier was our fastest Novice for Saturday in a Miata, and Mason Boozer was our fastest Novice Sunday in a Toyota MR2.

Early start both days to beat the August heat!  We’ll have the full daily schedule and details for accessing the facility after our monthly club meeting next week.  Helmet rentals only $5 / day, club t-shirts on sale for $10. Come out and try a new venue with us!

We had a solid turnout for our July event and managed to get everyone out for 5 runs on a really fun track and were still home before 2pm.  Boris and David Winterburn were the exclusive members of the 49 second club, with Boris managing to hold off all competitors to score a clean sweep for Top Time and PAX in the Tesla Model S Plaid.  We saw the debut of Troy Dewell’s supercharged XP Miata which had a successful shakedown after a bit of an overboost issue, and our fastest Novice was Ralph Stein in a Focus ST.  Thanks to everyone for making it out!

For our August event, we are partnering with the Shasta Kart Klub to race on the 1.3 mile kart track at the south end of the Redding Drag Strip.  The 26 acre facility features lots of shade, a paved and covered staging area, multiple seating areas, and a control tower to monitor all the action.  The course itself has up to 11 turns for the longest configuration and a very fast straightaway.  We’ll be using cones to create the autocross track layout and to keep competitors away from any hazards.

Saturday is a play day for test and tune so we can learn what works well at the facility and get some seat time on the new track without the pressure of a points race.  Bring a picnic lunch and hang out with us for the day!   Sunday is points race #10 for the Shasta AutoX Challenge Series.  Early start both days to beat the August heat!  Dry camping is available!
