Hello Trinity Touring Club members, racers, fans and everyone in between! Necia here filling in for Brian on the social media front this month, so I will do my best to get all the info, shoutouts, and thanks to everyone in my first attempt at the blog!
Our first points race of the season is officially in the books, and results are now live in our “Results” tab on the website (trinitytouringclub.com). Huge thanks go out to Chase Warner for a challenging and entertaining track on Sunday. I think it’s safe to say that track gave even our most seasoned veterans a hard time when it came to remembering to keep right for their second lap!
Dave Winterburn took the trophy for Top Time of Day as well as the trophy for the Modified Class, with an incredible time of 70.746. Our Top PAX Time of the Day, and winner for Street Class, was Chase Warner with a PAX time of 61.17. Touring Class champ was Blake Dewit, Prepared Champ was Scott Murchison, Street Modified Champ was Bryan Nunes, and our Novice Champ was Andrew Barbitta. Great job everyone! If you didn’t receive your cone trophy, please see a club officer at the May 21 race to claim it!
We had the pleasure of hosting 44 drivers for this race, with a large number of those being new drivers (or new to driving with us). It’s always so great to see new cars and new faces (and old faces with new cars!), so we want to extend an extra special thank you to those of you who came out to join us for the first time this weekend, and we really hope everyone enjoyed themselves enough to keep coming out, and to invite anyone else that might be interested!
If you look at the results page, and notice any errors with names, cars, numbers, times, or any other data, please reach out to us at trinitytouringclub@gmail.com so we can get it corrected both on the site, and in the timing software. When I got all the data home and opened it up today, I noticed we were missing some information on the cars, so I’d like to make sure everyone’s information is correct.
We’d also like to start adding everyone’s photos and videos from the events to spread the word about the club and what a great group of people and cars we have. If you have anything you’d like to see on the website, the club Facebook or Youtube pages, please email it to us and we’ll get it uploaded.
Don’t forget, the next club meeting will be NEXT Tuesday 18th at Angelos Pizza at 7pm. It sounds like there will be a lot to talk about, so we invite everyone to attend to give their input, or even just to provide some feedback. If you aren’t able to attend, but have something you’d like discussed, please shoot us an email. And finally, our next race will be Sunday, May 21st, with the same routine – setup will be the evening before (the time to be announced that week), gates will open race morning at 7:30am, and driver’s meeting at 9am.
Have a great rest of your week, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in a little under 6 weeks!
