Our first ever D3 Hardbody Enduro will be held on Sunday, June 15, 2014 at BPR. This is our regularly scheduled race day for June.
At our February monthly races we had a discussiom on the Hardbody Enduro.
The following info is provided, but the final rules/conditions for the enduro will be determined at our next monthly race on Sunday, March 16th.
I will be posting a separate topic on the Hardbody Enduro rules/race regulations soon. In the meantime, here are the Enduro topics discussed:
1. Hardbody Enduro will be held on Sunday, June 15th (our regular monthly race day).
2. A total of 8 teams (2 to 4 members per team) will be allowed in the enduro.
3. Each team will have a designated team leader. Among the race participants entered, a Team Leader will be designated for each team. Selection/designation of team leaders will be determined at our next monthly race.
4. From among those who sign up for the enduro, a random drawing by each team leader will decide which racers are on each team. No team can have more than one scratch racer unless allowed by the Enduro committee.
The Enduro committee members are: Keith Tanaka, Ken Dylke, Hector Gonzalez.
5. There are 8 model kits which are already selected to be used for the enduro (refer to thread on Enduro Model Kits: ENDURO MODEL KITS). These 8 kits were selected based on similar wheelbase, body width and weight. A random drawing by each team will determine which model kit they will use for the enduro. Each team will purchase their model kit at BPR or provide their own kit as long as its the same kit. Cars entered will be checked during tech inspection on race day to confirm correct model kit was used.
The kits will be provided to BPR by the enduro committee. The price of the kit will be a fair market price.
6. The enduro will be 4 hours (15 min. heats with one minute between heats). All work on cars only during "green" light. No working on cars between heats except to change lane and lane sticker).
Team drivers will rotate thruout the enduro.
7. The enduro will have a tech inspection (similar to our Nats tech inspection). The 80's-2014 NASCAR rules will be used. Only one car per team may be used for the enduro.
Any damage during the Enduro must be repaired on the Green light.
8. There will be box plaques given to each enduro participant. There will be one Concours plaque (given to the body painter of the winning car). There will be two podiums.
A regular podium for the Team with the most laps (without handicap) and a Handicap podium for the Team with the most laps including handicap laps. Each winning Team member will receive a plaque.
The type of podium plaque is yet to be determined (box metal plaque or wood plaque, depends on how much the entry fees will be).
The above discussion is not the final rules/regulations for the Enduro. We will decide the final terms of the Enduro at our March 16th monthly races.
To sign up for the Enduro, you can respond in this forum, or send me a PM (see "Messages" link at top of this webpage) or send me an email (my email address: 1keithtanaka@gmail.com)
or sign up at BPR on our monthly race day (next race is Sunday March 16th).
WE WOULD PREFER TO HAVE ALL RACE PARTICIPANTS ENTERED BY OUR NEXT HARDBODY RACE DAY ON MARCH 16th at BPR, but signups will be open until all teams have the maximum allowed (4 racers per team).
I will be posting on Slotblog as well for those who do not read this blog.
Any questions?
So far here are the racers who have signed up: Keith, Hector, Kenny, Paul S., Craig, Roger, John H., Michael, Tim N., Victor, Bob, Jeff B., Ron K.?,Phil & Jim W.? .....
