The Devil in the Dark 2013

I think only about 1/3 of the fun running with Stephen and RST would be the driving. Awesome group of people to hang out with. Plus the stories... Absolutely want to do an enduro with you guys someday. Maybe next year.

This is definetly part of our plans this year!!! It's going to be FUN. We have a brand new car that is in great shape... lets hope we can make it to the end! that is our goal...

Any suggestions from the experienced guys on what we should have "brand new" to start with? what are the likely things that will need replacing DURING the event pending zero crash damage or strange mechanical failures? I got Gas and tires... how about brakes?

Sadly we have NEVER done anything this long, longest race ever was a 4 hr and the car seemed like it just backed off the trailer after that event... no issues at all!

The entry information (supps, schedule, etc.) for the 2013 edition of The Devil in the Dark is posted on DLB (set filter for South Jersey Region | Club Race All) - and the event web site .

The direct link for the race information is Supps and Schedule

The rules are essentially the same as last year with a few refinements based on our experience and competitor feedback. Most of the previous years' enhancements including the elimination of timed pit stops and the condensed endurance classes were well received and have been retained.

The entry for this year's race will open on 1 February 2013

Hope to see ya at The Devil

I like the Class Challenge trophy idea for well-subscribed sprint classes. If that was in place last year and i missed it, I apologize, but it's a nice idea.

I also want to chime in again with support for the "E" class approach. A great approach!

Terry, what are the criteria for determining what ITX class a car will be in? I see there are ITX1-ITX5...

We'll be running my now ITB Civic, I'm still undecided on rcomps or potentially using street rubber.

We added the Class Challenge a little before last year's race (and after the initial release of the supps) to recognize well-subscribed sprint classes and ease the transition to the Endurance classes. It's a nice bridge.

We like the Endurance classes because it gives everybody competition. Our feedback has been universally positive.

The ITXn classes are for endurance compatible cars the don't completely comply with one of the underlying rulesets. Access to them is normally by negotiations with the Chief Steward.

I'm aware of your tire considerations and will get back to you shortly.
