Texas Enduro- 4 or 8?

[Todd Covini]

I have my thoughts on the inaugural Texas NASA enduro, but I'd like to hear yours.

Should it be 4 hours long or 8 hours long??

If you have any "what about..." questions, here are the endurance rules:

5hr.
10 gal max refuel.
1 required driver change.
stop at the 2.5 hr mid point and drive the other direction.

Sheesh...so much for "crawl before you walk" or "test the waters before diving right in" !!! :roll: :wink: :lol:

Less than 6 hours. No mandatory driver change.

No more than 5 gallons per fuel stop.

Race ends before dusk.

Should be a voluntary race and NOT count towards season points in NASA-Texas.

no driver changes allowed. nut up Mary Poppins.
dont start till dark, stop before the sun comes up. no head lights, night vision goggles required.
track direction optional. switch as will.

Your honor, I'd like the record to show that my post was serious.

The other person posting in this thread is obviously either delirious with ego or drunk with power. :roll:

I have not yet read the rules posted but:

Less than 8. Don't forget car wear and tear. Some where near 5 or 6 hours I think. It fits well into the schedule for the day. NASA will be crazy to make lights required.

Don't control by fuel volume for a stop. Instead, make it so any time a car comes in to refuel, it must stay in the pit for a minimum time (5 or 6 minutes). Forces things to be a little less hectic in the pits.

It should not count towards year end points.

Driver change required.

What is NASA thinking for allowed cars? I'm assuming no out wheel cars. I'm thinking the majority of entries will be Spec Miata and Improved Touring level cars (CMC like speeds). Spec Racer Ford is one of the larger car groups to run in SCCA. Not sure how many guys might cross over.
