This was a conversation over the last week or so, as my track is coming together. Great way to break in a track by running for 3 or 4 hours. Plus I think we can have 3 or 4 teams but track would only need 3 corner Marshall's.
We will know more in the next few weeks.

Hey John, would you please order me two Slot It light kits? Also if you could email me the race results spread sheet and any other race results pertinent info that would be great. fishfin11@msn.com Thank you.

For the racers who either left early or was not at yesterday's race at Colpar, we had a good talk about running an enduro at my new track sometime between mid-September and Mid October on a Saturday. Talk was about running Slot-it Group C cars stock without magnets. We also talked about running part of the race with room lights on, taking a break for food and then doing the balance of the run with the room lights off. Taking from the last few enduro's I believe run on Jim's track. it was almost unanimous support for the idea, but the details need to be worked out. If you would add your thoughts and ideas for the event on this thread and have posted prior to the August 27th race (our next Saturday race) we could agree on a date, class and outline of the event. John, yes I want two light kits as well. Thanks Mark Attachments:

Glad to hear that there's support for another enduro! My suggestion is to announce the rules for the race SOON, as Sept or Oct will be here sooner than you think. No need to reinvent much, as the rules we used the last two enduros worked fine, and they're already posted on this forum. As for which FIA endurance class to run, some of us still have Group C cars (with lights) ready to race.

The one thing that I would like to see is, being able to use a sidewinder motor mount also. This will keep the gear lube off of the track. I wouldn't want to see any inline crown gear failures like we had in the NSR Formula 86/89 racing. I have never had a Slot.it inline gear failure, but I think a sidewinder is more reliable, unless someone places spacers on the side of an inline crown gear to limit side clearance. (I also have an anglewinder Slot.it car with lights, but that is not a standard Slot.it motor.)

Bruce, when you get the results don't forget to add 5 points for my name. That is what I have been doing to try to keep myself in a "good" position during each race. You can also add a few for yourself for doing all of the work now. Hint don't make your total be more than ten points, I got caught trying that to gain on some of the leaders. Jim W

Jim, seems to me having a sidewinder in the mix is giving the car an advantage, they are known for being faster than in-line. The reason for the group-c cars is to have them all be the same, then its more for the driver to do well than for the car to be inherently better that the others. Does that make sense?

I just did a quick look through our posts and found no topic on enduro rules. It would be very nice if someone could find those and post them in this group. In addition, i think a new topic should be created that includes ALL rules for the various classes we run so that they could be easily found.

In the last enduro the rules were listed in the first block of information.
"Group C cars with lights - Box Stock Plus - Allow to change tires and also may change motor pod to sidewinder - stock motors only."
Each Enduro is setup with the "rules" for that time only.
Now when we start a new series for a race class the "rules" are posted in the "Official" listing of the class. We have a section in the "Rules" that is detailed of all of the rules that are used in all classes we race. This would be the "general" rules that may apply to each class, then in the posting of an "Official" class, we would give the details of the class for that series. As we run some classes again, we may change the rules for a class, such as we did with the latest Trans Am class. This club doesn't have a set number of classes like some other clubs' use, maybe they only have 5 classes that are repeated over again. We have more classes because we may start a new class when a newer car comes out and we want to run a class with this car, like we did with the Revoslots and the NSR Formula 86/89 cars. We used to run Ninco classics quite often, but we haven't run them in many years now. It would be hard to run this class again since most guys do not have a car and it would be hard to find a car and equip the car with the proper motor, NC-1 or NC-8, since Ninco in their later years of making these Classic cars used many different motors in these cars.

It should be easy enough to draw up any rules regarding this enduro based upon previous ones. I forgot to mention Mark, that when assigning team drivers to each designated team, a dedicated car (1) for that team has always been used. Each team is permitted a 'back up car' in the event of mechanical failure, however it is understood that drivers bringing cars to the event must be prepared to agree upon 1 car for their team's entry for the enduro.
As explained yesterday regarding the 'qualifying' format to determine driver pairings, this could result in any type of marque representing any given team. We can always amend this procedure based upon member suggestions for drawing up teams too.
We'll just use this thread to take all relevant questions, comments and suggestions before agreement.

So do we need a list of possible dates and racers interested??
Format??
Car rules seem close, maybe each team preps two cars, then random draw for main car and a back up, which can be changed at any time but no car can be started more than once.......😉

Jim W Jim, if you can switch to sidewinder what is the allowed gear ratio? marc
