August 10th Enduro Race

Basics:
Maximum 10 teams
Entry fee is per team.
At least 3 per team, recommended 4-5 per team.
One member from each team must be corner marshalling throughout the race.

One car per team(one electric one nitro if they want to stay the same teams)
No replacement cars allowed, you must fix the original chassis.
Any parts, electronics, motors, tires, engines are allowed to be swapped during the race.


Touring Stock Enduro - 3 Hours - Chose 17.5 over 21.5, as there are a lot more used premounted slicks which wear slower than hpi d-compounds (FWD Touring cars no weight limit)

Touring Nitro Enduro - 3 Hours - Get ready to burn some nitro!     ...and tires.  Mandatory throttle return springs and fail safe(THESE WILL BE TECH'd), receiver pack voltage test / change at half way.


Enduro Pricing:
$5 per racer from Saturday, $20 for new entries

Location: 3800 Cessna Drive, Richmond, BC V7B 0A1
The lot is the first entrance accessible when heading North on Russ Baker Way after you pass Gilbert. For now there is no access from Southbound as a security gate is closed from the campus on Friday evenings. If you look on google maps, we are the most south parking lot on the BCIT campus, and we run in the middle. The gate is open Saturday Mornings.

Trophies:
We've adopted IROCC's Every Racer gets a "trophy" theme, this applies to each of the two race events.

Food:
We've had chinese food provided on the Saturdays in the previous years, we are currently planning again for this. There is also food within a 5 minute drive.

Hotels:
Rooms can be had for about 110 a night nearby.

A few searches have come up with decent prices. You can change the number of room occupants as well.

I would love to come to this. We talk about doing this and we never do. I hope we can get some irocc members to go.

[freddie]

sounds great to me 17.5 stock is fine one day or 2 day works to lets have somemore fun


Rob F

[Falcon]

yes two days for sure. dinner out yaaaaaa

[Blake]

I am in, regardless of format.  I can fit several people in my van as usual.

Who's supplying the Nitro car on my team...?

I can offer up a decent electric car, with 17.5 and regular body.

Blake

[dajracer]

I'm in and format doesn't matter to me either. Blake, aren't you going to volunteer your gas car??? Or your Awesomatix??? How many teams can we get together?

[valk]

Ill volunteer my gas car, but ill need an engine for it. with blakes electric car in the mix, ill have all the parts on hand for that. Rob, this little os engine i borrowed from you might fit the bill perfectly if you were wanting to come.

ill have to discuss with the wife but if its not the longweekend, im sure it would be ok for two days. though for me personally, one day of enduro would be plenty. and plenty for the cars... but lets see what happens =)

[John]

would it be better or worse to try:

Saturday - One day Race (normal race)
Sunday - Two heats of enduro (halves the run time of the cars, and wear)

?

[valk]

My personal vote is a two day race but an hour long nitro main would be cool.

[dajracer]

The idea of an Enduro is to run a team of drivers running one car for a longer period of time, not one driver running for an hour. And an hour would not be long enough if we were running teams especially since there would not likely be any qualifying rounds.
If a regular race program was run one day and an Enduro the second, that could give everybody a chance to run there own equipment. But it would also likely mean we would have to take more than one vehicle if we are able to enlist enough people for 2 Enduro teams.

[valk]

Cost will definitely be an issue I think. If we are running race pace enduro we can expect to go through many sets of tires and at up to two gallons of nitro fuel.
I'd say my nitro car was very fuel efficient at sw and I burnt 3/4 of a gallon for a little over and hr of runtime.
Two sets of tires for an hour of.mains. both sets of rubber tires I ran are pretty worn out from a little over 30 minutes?

A team will surely bring costs down though. Still, even with clubs muchmores I'd expect them belted by 30 minutes depending on who's driving. Nitro tires out of the box might last an hour.

As far as my part in it may be; I can afford.to go.to the race, but not spent a bunch on tires or fuel ect.

[Falcon]

My gas car.... lets not change engines

[valk]

My gas car. I found an engine we can wear out and the car will likely be retired next season.
No sense burning up your high dollar stuff.

[rcshadow]

Valk I think you went through more fuel cause you raced in the pits for about 2 hours.....

[valk]

yeaaaaaaaaa.. next time ill make time to make sure my shyte isnt fked BEFORE i show up for the weekend heh. but i wasnt the only one who had problems so a little redemption heh.
