    Enduro Interest

    I have been talking with Adrian for a couple of years about running an enduro in the Texas area. I would like to gauge interest in this type of event with this group.

    There are a few basic items to iron out:

    1. Season of year - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall - pick one
    2. Track - pick one
    3. Length - 4, 6, 8, 12 - pick one
    4. Time of day - morning, afternoon, day into night - pick one

    Lets keep it simple for now. There are many other details but these are the basics.

    Sounds interesting.

    I'd vote for cooler temps just for the driver's sake so October - Feb is my suggestion on timeframe.
    For track I'd pick TWS.
    Length I'd pick 4 or 6 hour just because I've never done an enduro and have no clue.
    Morning probably is cooler, no night time as I'm not sure how many headlights work on my CMC car.

    I agree with mike for the most part.
    I think track choice would need to factor in length/space in pit road if there were to be multiple drive swaps etc (where do they refuel?).
    nope, no headlights here.

    I'd be interested as well. Mike's comments are all good - on this subject anyway.

    TWS any length
    Under 90F.
    All Daylite.

    I will accept the 1st invite to team up (as driver).
    Beggers can't be choosy.

    Definitely TWS just because of the safety afforded while pitting. Long spacious pits and pit lanes would keep folks from being too crowded.

    Between Thanksgiving and Christmas for the time frame. It would allow "teams" to take their tired old cars from the previous season and not jeopardize a car's ability to make the season's first race.

    6 hours ... 9am to 3pm. No daylight or darkness issues.

    This would be fantastic!

    I think Mitch has a very good idea. Since I'm planning on rebuilding the motor and tranny between 07 and 08, I'd be intested in blowing up #67 during an enduro... 8)

    I've always wanted to do the 25 hour, but since I've never done any race longer than 40 minutes, I didn't know how to start.

    Mark me down as interested... regardless of track. I'd prefer daylight. I no longer have provisions for stock headlights.

    i'm in.
    TWS
    6hr. we've never done one, so start small and get the logistics worked out. make it a 12 the next time.

    i vote one of the months NASA does not have a race weekend. but a few weeks after the season ends is good. but w/ a 2 month off season, thats not much time.
