RST Performance Racing is happy to announce that our 5th driver for the Devil in the Dark 12 hour endurance race will be Rob Foley! I think we have a great driver line up and the best crew we could ask for... Now the only thing to question will be how good these street tires do against the R compounds

...and that is going to be a very interesting question. The more I think about it, the more I'm pleased to be part of this experiment. Go back and look at all of the "why is Chump/LeMons better than SCCA" conversations on the various boards. I'm convinced that much of the difference is cost (real or perceived) and that a pretty substantial chunk of that is tires. NJMP is going to be something of an acid-test for the concept, being relatively tough on tires but if we can demonstrate that we can get through a 12-hour race without using the 10 tires that I would typically dedicate to the process, it may be something of a game-changer.

Agreed... Interestingly the following weekend I am running the 15hr LeMons race at NHMS with 5 drivers in a Porsche 944. It will be very interesting to me to compare the cost of the two events. The biggest difference I see so far is the RX8 will be prepped with all new parts while the lemons car is being prepped with used stuff.
The other interesting note is the entry for the Lemons race is considerably MORE than the SCCA event.

Registration for The Devil in the Dark Test is now open on DLB
The Test Day for this year's 12 Hour is being conducted by SCCA rather than the track. The format will be the same as in the past - a four hour open track session on Friday, 26 April on the Thunderbolt course.
Although the testing is primarily to support The Devil in the Dark, it is open to all closed wheel cars. Drivers do not need to be 12 Hour particpants in order to enter the Test Day. All drivers with SCCA recognized licenses are welcome.
Direct link to enter the Test Day: Register
Hope to see ya at The Devil

Anybody looking for a team? We are trying to fill up our Savings Auto Center team for the 12 hour.
We will be running a top of the line 99 SM. This car and team has many wins including the 2011 SCCA runoffs championships. The team also has loads of experience with enduros winning the 4-hour at the glen last fall. We have 2 fast drivers so far and we're looking for 2 more.
Anyone with questions or interest can e-mail me at [email protected] or the team owner, Ademir directly at [email protected].

Up to 37 cars! Wow, what is the most that have ever run?
Also or the $200 test day entry can ALL drivers that are driving in the enduro Saturday drive the car?
