About this event
Welcome To The Trinity Touring Club!
We are excited to try out a new venue for our next autocross event August 26th and 27th! We have partnered with the Shasta Kart Klub to race on the 1.3 mile kart track at the south end of the Redding Drag Strip. The 26 acre facility features lots of shade, a paved and covered staging area, multiple seating areas, and a control tower to monitor all the action. The course itself has up to 11 turns for the longest configuration and a very fast straightaway. We'll be using cones to create the autocross track layout and to keep competitors away from any hazards.
Saturday is a play day for test and tune so we can learn what works well at the facility. Bring a picnic lunch and hang out with us for the day! Sunday is points race #10 for the Shasta AutoX Challenge Series. Early start both days to beat the August heat! We are doing 3 run groups and plan to be done by 2pm each day. Dry camping is available!
Early Start - Gates Open 7am, Driver's Meeting 8am! Gates open at 7:00am with Driver's Meeting for Run Groups 1 & 2 at 9am. Driver's Meeting for Run Group 3 is at 12:00pm. Entry fee is $32 for members and $37 for non-members* each day, paid online here on motorsports.reg. A limited number of rental helmets are available for $5 a day and can be reserved as part of sign up. Work stations will be assigned at the Driver's Meeting to all participants. We will have cold water, shade, and a cooling station to help beat the expected August heat.
Be Safe, Go Fast, and Have Fun! Come race with us!

The Trinity Touring Club has been established for over 35 years, and started off in Trinity County, racing in the lumberyards of Weaverville. The club is now based in Redding, Ca. and is a registered 501(c)(7) non-profit. We host autocross racing events for our 40+ members and our non-member guests and have monthly meetings to manage the club’s affairs. We are not affiliated with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA).

How do I register? Race entries are managed online through https://www.motorsportsreg.com Registration is open approximately 10 days prior to the event. You will need your valid Driver's License to present at check-in. Additional instructions will be provided via email to those who have signed up.
Who can race? Any licensed driver 16 or over. All that is required is to register for the event, sign the liability waiver, use a helmet (2010 or newer MA or SA rated), and drive a safe vehicle. If you’re under 18, you’ll need a parent's signature and they must be present. Passengers are allowed and must also use an approved helmet. A limited number of rental helmets are available to reserve online via MSR registration.
What kind of vehicle can race? Most any car can race. All require a safety inspection for basic items like working seat belts, good tires, secure battery, etc. We generally follow SCCA guidelines for car classes and will help answer questions about classing your entry. Novice drivers are classed as a group, so if this is your first or second time autocrossing, you can race against competitors of similar skill level. Sorry, no motorcycles are allowed. Vehicles with a high center of gravity (4×4 trucks or SUVs) are not allowed. Karts are allowed but rare in our club – the racing surface is quite rough with several dips, which tend to be make driving a fast kart a handful. Please talk to a club member if you plan to race a kart.
What do you mean by ‘active participation’? As these events are staffed entirely by volunteers, we need your help to keep things running smoothly and keep the competition safe for everyone. If you race, you are expected to work one of the safety stations around the course, help with timing / scoring, and help with setup and break down of the facility. A TTC member will direct you to what needs doing, and we will review work assignments as part of the driver’s meeting before the event.
How can I watch an event? Spectators are welcome to attend! There is plenty of seating and places to bring your own chairs.
