I think Tsukuba (Long or short) or Maple Valley Short / Short Revese would be good tracks for an enduro, and would allow for 50 lap races coming in just under an hour.. I also think one track that could give really close racing would be Motegi west, that track could even allow for 75 laps and still come in around the hour mark.. I also think with these cars and the relatively simple track layput it would be nearly impossible for someone to get away from the pack..

I'll probably be on anyway on Saturday so just give us a shout when you come on, or if anyone wants to run some testing before hand..

I've done 50 lap enduros on MVS and they go pretty well.  MVSR might have accidental pit issues because of the decreasing radius sweeper, but could also do well.

I think we'd need a calander rather than a stopwatch for timing a 50 lap enduro in these cars at Raod America... lol

or this (filled with Red Bull, Mountain Dew, or just pure caffeine)

It is highly likely that the above post was produced with a drippy jowl.

well, Dirt, BBQ,and I ran these.  It was a good time, ten laps at a variety of short tracks.  I'm going to have to bail on the evening event, as we have in-laws in town.

And where can I get one of those hats for the all-night study sessions?
