Greetings racers and race fans! Please join us for our second points race of the 2017 “Shasta AutoX Challenge Series” on Sunday, May 21st. Setup is Saturday at 7pm – please come out to the track and help us get everything ready for the race. Ray Dibble is our Race Director and will bring us maps for setup. This is race #2 of a 9 race series! Everyone is welcome – come race with us!
Gates open at 7:30am on Sunday with driver’s meeting at 9am. Entry fee is $30 for members and $35 for non-members. If you have not autocrossed with us this year, please arrive early enough to complete your registration / tech sheet and have your car and helmet inspected. If you are a member and didn’t get your t-shirt last month, we will have them at the track, or if you have yet to join the club, a $30 individual membership gets you $5 off the race entry fee AND a sweet t-shirt.
Downtown Dogs will be serving lunch – please support our vendor by bringing your appetite and a little extra cash! The club will have cold water and shade on hand to beat the heat.
Updates from 05.16.2017 TTC Club Meeting
1. Helmets: Our current requirement is 2005 or better MA or SA rated helmets. We will be culling the helmet barrel to ensure our loaners comply, which could mean we have fewer loaners. If you don’t mind lending your helmet for someone’s run, please offer – someone may need it on Sunday. I have a 2010 MA helmet and anyone with a fat enough head is welcome to use it.
2. Setup and Breakdown: We always appreciate help with track setup and breakdown – it goes faster the more people help. Not everyone can be there for setup or stay to the end of the event, but consider how you could arrange your schedule to help us out for our events this year.
3. Drivers Meeting: We want to make sure all of our participants know the rules, so we’ll be taking some time to review them for the 9am driver’s meeting, and again for anyone who registers later in the day. We are working on updating a hand-out for the registration table and website as well.
4. Start Time: The hotter it gets, the better off we are starting on time. Darin, Jim E., and Gary B. will be on hand to tech cars Sunday morning. Help us move things along by getting your cars staged on the oval track once tech’d and lining up immediately on the pit lane when your run group is called.
5. “June Jam” Saturday and Sunday June 3rd & 4th: We will be doing some planning for our next two races while everyone is together at the track as it is just two weeks until our next event. We need a Race Director to take on the challenge of the reversible course! Let us know if you’d like to volunteer. We will have our BBQ Potluck on Saturday June 3rd after 6pm and everyone is welcome – bring a side dish, appetizer, or dessert and a chair! The club will be providing the BBQ and non-alcoholic beverages. It should be an awesome two days of racing!
Please reach out with any questions, and I hope to see you at the track!
