Post by Fred32v »

Looking forward to this year's 24 hour Enduro.
FYI: Walt will be arriving Friday morning 9/6/19 landing at 9:16 am,
heading home Monday on a 3:35 flight.
Walt and I could be at the track around noon-ish on Friday.

Arrival time for me and the race car are TBD. There is a practice day on Friday if we choose to do that we will be there earlier.

Currently targeting practice on 8/24 but that is aggressive there is a lot to do between now and then. If that date is not met we are definitely practicing on 9/6.

At the moment there are 20 cars signed up for this race. That is a low count. My non-scientific guess is we might get 10 more so there will be 30 in the field.

This event was the fifth time the Saturn raced at Nelson Ledges, and the fifth 24 hour race.

We ran 888 laps, which is 30 laps less than we ran last year, and is the second most miles we have traveled with the car in a single event.

We now have over 14000 miles of racing on this car
