We had a spectacular weekend of racing at the Shasta Kart Klub facility south of the Redding Dragstrip. We hosted 63 racers and turned 551 laps around the course over the two days, with Saturday practice going clockwise, and Sunday points race counterclockwise. We learned a lot about how to put on an event at this venue and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our members and guests, as well as from the kart club leadership about how the event was conducted. Our thanks to everyone who came out to support us, especially the new people we met (we hope you’ll be back!} and the old friends we hadn’t seen in a while.
Saturday was a practice day that saw Rick Dunbar on top of the speed charts in the Factory Five 818 roadster with David Winterburn in the DRS Sports Racer close behind. Sunday, Boris Podtetenieff in his Tesla Model S Plaidtook the Top Time by a scant 0.012 over David. Robert Foster scored PAX for Saturday practice and for the main event Sunday in his wicked fast Corvette Grand Sport. Mason Mercier was our fastest Novice for Saturday in a Miata, and Mason Boozer was our fastest Novice Sunday in a Toyota MR2.
