    Hey……………At the meeting last week there was some talk of a winter Endurance series/race. This would be a great way to stay in shape. Brian at GJMS was interested, are there any other tracks that might want to be part of this? I would like to put a team together.

    Mikey :cheers:

    I am all for a 200 lapper!!! (race time aproximately 3.5hrs)

    This is what I propose

    TaG only ( leopard/Rotax 370lbs Sonic 400lbs) will review all weights

    Minimum 2-drivers per team. Each driver must meet weight requirements age 15 +

    MG FZ yellows (one set per team)

    No fuel tanks larger than 8 litres

    No quick fueling systems (dump tanks only)

    Engine must be off during re-fueling. Driver must be out of kart

    No full course yellow pit-stops. All pit stops must be under green flag conditions

    $300.00 per team (purse based on one paid posistion per 3 teams entered) 9 teams = paid spots 1-3.

    This is just a rough idea. I raced NCMP first 2 races (first one was 3hrs then was changed to 200 laps) This was the most fun I ever had in 22 years of this sport. We can base the rules off of their races. They are fair, and efficient.

    My biggest question is when? Our schedule is WIDE open! Before Christmas? after the holidays? I am learning Colorado weather patterns as we speak. (like Indiana, unpredictable!) Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Why not do two classes similar to the Rolex Sports Car Series? Run a Senior TaG class and a Junior TaG class. Don’t hand out money to the Junior’s hand out things like game systems and electronics.

    Like my dad said Adrian and I are in and want to do it.

    Dane,
    That would be great to see you drive again. Keenan from Utah is a great driver and needs a partner to run with. I could see the two of you being a force against me and Carrio.
    Hear that Garett??

    Well, I’m interested in this but I think that 200 laps is a bit extreme for a first try at this. Also, will one set of MG Yellows last 200 laps???

    How about 100 laps for a start. If this can be set up then I’d be looking for a team or perhaps could join in on one.

    Does everyone race in one kart and if so do you need to get people who fit in the same seat size?

    Alternatively do you switch karts but swap tires?
