Kastner Cup at the 2016 David Love Memorial 

The 14th Annual Kastner Cup is coming to Sonoma Raceway. This is the premier Triumph outing that is a must attend event for owners of the marque. If you want more information, please contact Dave Hogye: dlhogye at comcast.net , or click here to go to the Kastner Cup web site: Kastner Cup 

Members: Please help get the word out about the event to anyone you know who races a Triumph. 
=========================================== 
Helmet Changes for 2016 

Effective the first event of the 2016 season, CSRG requires drivers to wear SNELL 2010 Certified helmets. The helmet must have the SA designation to show it is designed for automobile racing. The M designation, for motorcycles, is not allowed. 

=========================================== 

CSRG Expanding Tech 

As of 2016 Tech Inspections will be valid for 45 days. 

That means that any car approved at the Sonoma races will automatically be approved for the Thunderhill race that immediately follows it---ASSUMING THE CAR & DRIVER COMPLETED THE WEEKEND WITHOUT ANY ISSUE---INCIDENT, WARNING, ETC. 

ALSO IMPORTANT: 

A major goal for 2016 is to decrease the time entrants spend in Tech. 

To that end, we want to expand our tech staff to increase throughput & to assist in the transition to 'A' & 'B' sub-groups for our first event this year . 

The additional tech recruits would work Friday from 8am to 6pm on race weekends. They would be paid $100 for those hours. 

There will be a paid Pre-Season training seminar & you will receive a Tech Inspector shirt. 

Apply by e-mail to race_director at csrgweb.org .

Formula Atlantic Reunion for Cars Through 1986,

We are organizing a Formula B-Formula Atlantic Reunion for the S pring race that will include cars through 1986 (Ralt RT4s for ex.) on Thunde rhill's East (Three Mile) course. Jon Norman is the contact person for the Atlantics . The plan is to get enough entries to have an Atlantics-only Race Group with the following three car divisions: 

Formula B (with wings & period correct motors) through 1972; 1973-1979 Flat Bottom cars (Cosworth BDD only) & 1980 through 1986 "skirt" cars (Toyota or Cosworth BDD). Details will be posted on the CSRG site in early February. If you can't wait, please contact Jon Norman at: 
jrnalfa at pacbell.net 

PLUS: 
At the same event, we will have a guest group of First Generation Miatas. Judging by the numbers from our poll, we have about 30 members who are interested in running. Additionally the President of Thunderhill, David Vodden, plans on entering. Larry Oka ( larryokaracing at gmail.com ) will be offering a CSRG discount on a Miata rental to anyone who is also entered in one of their usual cars. Remember, the point is to get enough entries to make this a viable race. It could be fun....
