Racers, charity and residents urge city to reinstate Shasta Supermoto track license

Several members of the Shasta Supermoto community addressed the council during public comment, saying the club provides healing and youth programs and should be treated fairly by the city. Rhonda Monroe detailed grief-support work and said the club had an insurance policy covering the venue for 12 years without claims; she said the city's handling of license terms has shifted and urged the council to "stop closed door deals" and reinstate the club's license.

Other riders and organizers echoed those concerns. Sherry Kano (Shemotos founder) asked the council to use fair-market benchmarks appropriate to Shasta County rather than comparing the facility to Sonoma Raceway, which she said is a much larger venue and an unrealistic comparator for local pricing. Youth riders and parents said the track provides safe recreation and requested either restoration of the club's license or assistance finding an affordable place to ride locally.

Speakers raised specifics: claims that the city had accepted the club's insurance for years, that a March cancellation of an event affected schedules, and that alternate operators were being allowed to run events despite prior restrictions. Club founders also disputed social-media claims about how long the club has existed (one speaker said organized races began in 2014).

The council did not take action on the club's requests during the meeting; the speakers asked for reinstatement of agreements and greater transparency in staff decisions.
