Thank-you to everyone who made it out to race with us for our May event at the Shasta Speedway!  We had some fast times at the track, with David Winterburn making a clean sweep for Top Time in the BMod JBS Sports Racer despite losing an axle seal.  Rick Dunbar also gave an impressive performance Saturday, taking his SSM Miata into the 44 second zone and into second place.  PAX was all Boris Podtetenieff in the Tesla Model S Plaid for Saturday, but Sunday he left the door open for Brian in the Ecoboost HPP to score the PAX win by 0.46.  Our fastest Novice on Saturday was Bryce Gordon in a Miata, and we all got a kick out of watching the Waechter brothers go head to head for Kids Kart supremacy, with Jimmy taking the top spot Saturday and Elijah bringing it home first on Sunday.  Great job guys!

It wasn’t all sunshine and roses, as we did have some broken cars shorten a few people’s race weekend – we hope the repairs are expedient and that we’ll see you back on the track soon.

Our April Shasta AutoX Challenge Series weekend went off great – we had a very fast track and beautiful weather for racing.  It was a clean sweep for our fastest driver, Boris Podtetenieff in his Tesla Model S Plaid, earning Top Time and PAX both Saturday and Sunday.  Boris is a fantastic racer and with a few more millimeters of fresh A Comp tires under that 5,800lb beast, he was unstoppable.  The only sound rivaling the ‘whoosh’ around the track was the ‘tink tink tink’ of gravel being hurled about.  Truly astonishing performance and incredible to watch.  We also had a great group of Novices out to race with us this weekend, including Daniel Hendershot in a Mustang GT, Deanna Madigan in a Nissan 370Z, John Robustellini in a Chevrolet Corvette, and Joshua Beaver in an Infinity G35, all chasing after William Klatt in his Subaru WRX, who ultimately took home the Novice trophy both Saturday and Sunday.

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.
