    Many teams use 6 drivers per car, so...probably 500+ drivers. I'll be participating in the Nelson Ledges Chumpcar event. Should be fun! Can't wait for my first night stint.

    Now these types of events are enduros I could see us doing together Stephen. Although some time doing an SCCA one would be fun!

    Both of our teams are set up for 4 drivers. . @ 7 hrs, we each run about 1:50 or so twice. One guy may get shorted a little . We usually have a pretty good shot at podium. To win, you have to run around 2 hrs and not take any extra stops. ( 2hr max time in car)

    Just like any other endurance race. The stops have to be spot on, the pace good , and lucky helps.

    Crew pays food and beer, maybe a discount at a future race.
    Even if you cant work or drive, come out to check it out.
