Last Chance Enduro?drivers School?regional
The Glen Region's Competition Board is seeking input regarding possible changes to the October Last Chance Enduro. For a number of years now the Region has held a 3HOUR Enduro on the Saturday of the Last Chance Weekend. The other two events are a Driver School on Thursday Night-11am Saturday, (then the Enduro on Saturday) and a one day Regional on Sunday.
Increases in cost of operating the weekend are causing the Glen Region's Comp Board to look at changes for that weekend.
My question to you is: If you run the Enduro, what would you like see change to the event? Expand the Enduro's time? If so, how long? Drop the Enduro completely? If so, why?
Would you rather see a two day Regional instead of the Enduro? Or something else?
The Glen Region feels strongly in seeking out you input on this matter. Please reply to me (open or private) and let me know what you are thinking...
Thanks, --Ed...
In The Spirit Of The Sport,
I am posting this for Ed. The Days are locked in If we give up a Day we would not get it back. T Weaver
Update Comp Board meeting
Had Comp Board meeting this PM And the Following was decided. Driver School will continue. The Enduro will remain with Following Changes(times may need to be adjusted slightly) Enduro wil be 4 Hours Practice/Qualifying will be from 11:00am to Noon, Race will Start at 1:00 Pm end at 5 Pm. 2 mandatory pit stops: 2 Minutes Each Keeping in line with the Nescca Enduro rules. 2 Drivers required, and no fuel rigs. The Sunday event will remain a Single regional event for the opportunity to Run Watkins Glen. This should help the School Drivers that don't want to dive right into a Enduro and but still get one race under their belt. Registration will be open approx 16 hours at various times. At least this will allow you to get the event in your race calendars!!!:smilie_pokal:
Enduro weekend outside the norm strategy
Basically this would be to get people exposed and want to enter the enduros + draw more revenue to the region.
scenario based on a 2 day weekend:
Saturday
Normal regional classes and schedule with qualifying in the AM and a Race in the afternoon
Sunday
Run an AM race for all normal regional groups based on finishing position in Saturdays Races.
Run the enduro Sunday afternoon. using the Sunday AM race times as your qualifying time for Sunday afternoon. Any body that only wants to Run the Enduro can run in Sunday AM's race starting from last... first come first served!
Have an entry fee for the double (Saturday race and Sunday AM Race)
Have another entry fee )that Adds to the double entry fee) $150 for the first driver in an enduro and $100 per additional driver in the enduro
Then one last entry fee for the Enduro only fans that will run from last in the Sunday AM race and the enduro in the afternoon. $200 for the first driver and $100 for each additional driver.
Just an idea to generate some extra revenues and possilbe entice some sprint drivers to try it out.
