2017 Shasta AutoX Challenge Series Race #6 – Sunday, August 20th

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Greetings racers and race fans! We are racing this weekend for our 6th points event of the year. Track setup is at 7pm Saturday – please come out to the speedway and help us get the facility prepared for racing. Jim Earle is our Race Director and will bring us maps for setup.

Gates open at 7:30am on Sunday with driver’s meeting at 9am. Entry fee is $30 for members and $35 for non-members. Please arrive early enough to complete your registration, safety inspection, and to walk the track. Novice racers are welcome!

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 plenty of shade for the expected ~100 degree temps, and the Enloes are bringing their Portacool, so it should be a great summer day for racing.

Updates

1. Helmets: We have all new helmets that you can rent for just $1 (and we will hang onto your driver’s license until it is returned). We will be enforcing the 2005 or better helmet rule going forward.

2. T-Shirts: 2017 TTC club t-shirts are available for $10 each. Pick up an extra and help raise money for the club! We are out of Mediums but have all other sizes.

3. Recycling: Look for the dedicated bins! We’ll call it out in the driver’s meeting as well.

4. Octoberfast 2017: For our October two-day event, we are hosting a Chili Cookoff on Saturday, October 21st! Awards will be presented for the hottest, the most unique, and the best overall chili, and the crowd will be the judges. So dust off your best chili and corn bread recipes, and be thinking about how you are going to dominate what is sure to be some tough competition.

Please reach out with any questions, and I hope to see you at the track this weekend!

Meeting Tuesday August 15th – Racing Sunday August 20th

We will be meeting Tuesday, August 15th at Players Pizza in Anderson.  We have two events to plan – our upcoming race on August 20th, and the following race on September 17th – and need good participation from our members at this meeting to be successful.
There are 4 races remaining this year and it would be grand to have some new Race Directors to help with designing the course and organizing the events.  There are a couple of folks who wanted to volunteer earlier in the year but couldn’t due to other obligations, so this is your time!
Meeting topics we plan to cover Tuesday include:
  • Update on Finances
  • Update on Non-Profit Status
  • Follow-ups from July race
  • Planning for next two points races 08.20 & 09.17
  • Discussion – ‘Octoberfast’ Weekend Event 10.21 – 10.22
  • Discussion – Year End Awards Dinner
  • General Discussion
See you there!
