    Default 8/22-23 Memphis Double Regional/Enduro/PDX

    We have scheduled a Double Regional + 90-min. closed wheel enduro on Sun. + PDX.

    Gauging interest in enduro on Sun. afternoon after 2 days of racing in hot Aug. Memphis heat - assuming you are going, would you do the enduro? It's only an extra $80 w/ both Regionals.

    Also, would you be interested in a $150 Friday Test Day?

    How about BBQ and cold beer Sat. ? That's a given!

    I would be willing to pony up for the enduro as this will be the last race of the year for us. May as well get in all we can! If we do the enduro then I would rule out the test day to save wear/tear on the POS-7.

    JB and I are planning on running this event precisely because of the available enduro. Actually, we were planning on running Nashville (which had the same style schedule), but the motor is not completely together yet.

    The reason this type of event has so much appeal is because both of us can get our mandatory two events in using the same car in one weekend. We each run a regional, and split the duties on the enduro, and voila, we are held over for another year until business gets better and allows more weekends at the track.

    -and the Memphis hospitality, bbq and beer alone are worth the entry fee

    Default Registration Is Open!

    Go to: http://www.dlbracing.com/clubs/Event...%26LMID%3d1042

    We put a minimum of 20 cars for the Enduro - less than that and it is just not worth the trouble. This will be a "FUN" event w/ emphasis on safety - not a SE ECR-style, serious-ass race.

    No test day scheduled unless we get lots of demand for it.

    Bill, what are the requirements for the enduro? Do I need a co-driver? Mandatory/timed pit stops?

    I need to do the regionals to get my 2 races in for the year, but I'm undecided on the enduro.

    Hey Bill... What's the breaking/decision point for your region gonna be on this event?

    I'm trying to plan the remnants of this anti-season and given recent history, what's it gonna take for this event to happen/not-happen...???

    TIA

    I see they're up to 17 entrants, with two weeks to go. The supps say they need at least 20, so get your entry in soon if you're thinking of going

    Also, there are quite a few PDX sessions listed in the schedule, but no entrants as of yet. If there are none are only a couple, will the day be shortened or give us more track time?

    Thanks.

    RX555,
    The limit of 20 entrants is for the Enduro only. We will know about the Enduro Monday evening August 17. If at that time that we cancel the Enduro, the chief steward will adjust the schedule. The race is still on.

    Phil, is this race going to happen no matter what the total entry count is? At this point I am planning on coming and working but if there is going to be only 20 or so total entrants it may not be worth the time, effort and expenses to travel there.

    Thanks
