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!

We really hope that ALL of our racers, friends, and supporters will come out to the August weekend to check out the karting facility and take a run or a ride – it should be a blast! More info to come as we finalize the contract, insurance, and daily schedule.
See you at the track!
