    What he said. Last year's stops were only 4 minutes, so I imagine when they were changing it over to 5 this year, they forgot to change the wording to "five minutes and fourteen seconds".

    What Bowie and Kevin said. In other words:

    "Thank you for your input." :eek:

    Just out of curiousity - why why why does anyone require mandatory pit stops in an enduro? Nevermind two.

    It is a holdover from our local "short" enduro series. (90 minute races) that encourages ride-sharing, adds an element of strategy, etc. Especially for this race, it is used to give the ARRC folks an extra event, so putting in a couple of pit stops to remove the advantage of a "real" enduro car (like Kirk's Golf "Pablo" that can go 3.5 hours on a tank) keeps with the spirit.

    For "real" long enduros (over 3-4 hours) I think pit stops should be open, but I like the mandatory format for short ones.
