The first race weekend of 2019 was blessed with great weather, a fantastic group of racers, and some very dedicated Trinity Touring Club volunteers who made sure everything ran smoothly. We had all new timing equipment on the tarmac thanks to our Club President Troy Dewell. Vice President Sharon Haley made sure the 2019 T-shirts (with design by Board Member Gary Brantley), postcards, plaques, and trophies were ready to go. Randy and Barbra Phelps setup our BBQ and made sure we were well fed.
It takes a lot of effort by a relatively small number folks to pull off a successful race weekend, and a lot went into this season kick-off. Thanks to everyone who helped out and contributed.
It was a sweep for Top TIme of Day and Top PAX by David Winterburn and Blake Dewit, respectively. Blake also took home the class win for Street in his ES Miata. Saturday’s Modified class was a close one, with Jeremy McNeely taking the top spot in his turbo charged SSM Miata. In CAM, Arley Enloe was the top finisher with an amazing 54.480 run in his Hellcat. Other winners included Jerry Shaha in Touring in a STR Miata, and Ryan Thomas in Novice driving a wicked V8 powered 280Z.
Sunday saw Mark Talkington take the Touring class win in his STS Miata, with Uriah Siner and Eric Haney in tie for second, each posting a best time of 55.196. In Prepared, it was Andrew Barbitta in his WRX STI. Danny Ide got the top spot in Modified in his EM Willys, Keith Smith scored the CAM win, and Sam Wiseman drove a Mustang GT to the top of the Novice results.
