We made the paper (it's real, but shamelessly photoshopped by me)

Shasta Speedway will have a 2016 season Dave Twyman, who runs a plumbing and electrician business, will be the track's new manager.

Come check it out.

Historical society to share ‘The Past, Present and Future of Shasta Speedway’ “The Past, Present and the Future of Shasta Speedway” will be presented 1:30 p.m. April 16 at the I.O.O.F. Hall, 1445 Butte St., in the Downtown Promenade.

Another sad loss for the Association. Lewis Kennemore, a 2015 Hall of Fame inductee has passed. A main event winner & consistent front runner in the Late Model Sportsman at Shasta Speedway, running against the likes of Roger Gannon, & Rex Clark. A good guy & a good friend of mine, we had some great road trips in the late 70s & early 80s that we were lucky to live through.
Our thoughts go out to Kathy, Kevin, & Kelly & the rest of the family. I don't think we will see the like of him again.

I received a call today from Butch reporting the passing of Don Harper. Don was always a hard charging, in it for the win kind of racer at our open shows, which won him a lot of fans here. He won our Western 150 in 1979. Don's sister Valerie, of TV fame, & the rest of the family & friends are in our thoughts at this sad time

We also lost Bob Bogue on Oct.31st (my apologies for the delay). Bob was a close personal friend of mine for almost 50 years. I don't recall how long Bob raced, but it was a good long time, he won the Hobby stock Championship in 1972 (on dirt) & the Bomber Championship in 1979 (on pavement), something to be quite proud of in my view. Again our thoughts go out to Susie, Ralph, & the rest of the family & friends. I'll miss him.
