We had a record day Saturday with 50 racers taking the green flag for Enduro practice.  Sunday it was 34 drivers racing for the win.  David Winterburn in the JBS Sports Racer was the fastest driver Sunday with a blistering time of  262.736 for 5 laps around the course.  Our PAX winner was Robert Foster who did a beautiful run in his AS classed Corvette Grand Sport (with no practice, btw), and our fastest Novice was Joe Reyes in a Subaru BRZ.  Full results at https://trinitytouringclub.com/race-results/

Saturday, we had a well attended Chili Cookoff with many different styles of everyone’s favorite meat gravy.  Our winner, in a stand-out performance, was Diane Heinze.  Class winner awards this year were embroidered windbreakers with the club logo on the back and are absolutely amazing – thank-you David and Custom Imprints!  Sunday, our big raffle winners were Garret Murphy, who scored the 2023 TTC Season Pass, Shawn McNeely for the hotel stay and dinner at Mosiac, and Shane Larsen with the Gorilla bedliner from Lithia Chevrolet.  

The Enduro race weekend wrapped up our charity fundraiser for Toys for Tots and Adopt a Family.  The raffle brought in $1,500 and with our amazing attendance for the Enduro, the Club is able to add $2,500.  Perry’s Automotive also made a direct $500 donation for a total of $4,500 to be split between the two non-profits.  Fantastic job on the fundraiser this year! 

We could not do these events without the support of our members and local community.  Big thanks for this year’s raffle donations go to:

Lithia Chevrolet

Mosiac

Snap-on Tools

O’Reilly Auto Parts

We’ll have more updates for Club members soon for club elections and our planned entry in the https://www.reddingchristmasparade.com/ on Saturday Dec. 3rd.

We are racing Saturday and Sunday October 15th & 16th at the Shasta Speedway, rain or shine, for our final event of 2022!  Saturday is practice for Sunday’s Enduro and will feature two laps per run to give you some practice for Sunday’s 5 lap main event.  Sunday you will do 5 laps all in one run, with your cumulative time determining your finishing position.  

Saturday evening we will be hosting a Chili Cook-off at the track – we’ll have a place for you to plug in your crockpot so bring it with you to Saturday’s event, or plan to go get it after the race and come back to sample all the offerings!  Plan to gather around 430pm – we’ll vote on the best chili and award a fabulous prize!  We will also be celebrating our 2022 Fast Driver, PAX, and Class winners so please do plan to join us at the track Saturday evening.  BYOB!

We hosted a great group of racers this weekend to finish off the 2022 Shasta AutoX Challenge Series and kick-off our fundraiser for two local charities helping the less fortunate in our community, Toys for Tots and Adopt a Family  We raised over $1,000 through race entry fees, raffle entries, and t-shirts, which is a great start!  Our fundraiser runs through October 15th.

The weather finally gave us a break with temps in the low 90’s and cool mornings.  David Winterburn put the hammer down and brought the JBS Sports Racer home in 1st place, while Brian Berry coaxed the HPP Ecoboost Mustang to last run PAX wins both Saturday and Sunday.  Jeremy and Shawn McNeely battled it out for XP class supremacy, but ended up in a tie – typically we’d go to PAX finishes to determine a season winner, but these guys want to settle it on the track, so it is winner takes all for the upcoming Enduro.

It was another hot and fast weekend of autocross racing at the Shasta Speedway!  Thanks to everyone who made it out and to our club members for making the event run very smoothly.  We had low car counts and a short track, so it was 6 runs to the checkers with fun runs both Saturday and Sunday on a spectacular, wide and free flowing track.  We were done by about 1pm both days and beat the worst of the heat. 

David Winterburn swept the Top Time for the weekend in his JBS Sports Racer, laying down some rippin laps and only slightly slowed down by the slalom that was added to the course on Sunday to improve safety.  In PAX it was Boris Podtetenieff in the Tesla Model S Plaid taking the win on Saturday, and Brian Berry in the Ford Mustang Ecoboost HPP with a margin of victory of just 0.083 on Sunday over Boris. 

Results are posted at https://trinitytouringclub.com/race-results/  – note that for Club Member Season & Season PAX points, the first two of four drops are now being applied. 

We are back at the Shasta Speedway for the points season finale and annual fundraiser September 10th and 11th – plan to join us!

Thank-you to everyone who made it out early to race with us at the Fairgrounds this weekend.  Everything went smoothly, the course was fast, we did 6 runs each day plus fun runs, and were still out of there early in the afternoon before the heat really took hold.

Saturday, David Winterburn set the top time in his JBS Sports Racer, while Sunday, it was Boris Podtetenieff in his Tesla Model S Plaid – Boris swept the PAX win both days, though only by 0.156 on Sunday over Garret Murphy in a Nissan 350Z.  Our fastest Novices were Dino Tojaga in a Fiat 124 Spider for Saturday, and Matthew Robustellini in a Mazda RX8 for Sunday.

The August event will follow the same “start early, beat the heat” protocol as July, September as well if the heat stays with us.  Our annual charity fundraiser is set to start the September weekend and conclude at the Enduro in October, and we are in the final stages of choosing a local non-profit for this year, we’ll have more info at our August event.
