And it's THAT THING that's going to start a fire: Not the time they do or don't take to do it.

People inclined to be sloppy or inattentive will do so whether they are doing it quickly or slowly.

Ive been reading this thread with the idea there are two different conversations going on here. Knestis falls into "the 3 hour enduro is a long sprint race, not an enduro" catagory and the enduro series he is thinking of would be 12 to 24 hour races, not the 90 minutes and 3 hour races that the ECR runs in SEDiv.

I would support a 12 race series(one a month if practicable) with 3 races of 12 to 24 hour lenth and the rest of the 3 hour variety run at our favorite tracks. I prefer to race where there is car count to support the race than wait for enough car count to have a race.

On the other hand if you are going to run a regional style enduro you have to be comfortable running their rules. timed pit stops and all.
