We have been talking about having an enduro race here at DeBary Glen for quite a while now so on Friday night when most of the regulars were around we picked a date and a format. The date will be Saturday March 16th. This race will be known as the Ken Brown Memorial Enduro. It will be a four hour event broken into eight 30 minute heats and we will be running Scaley LMP1 and LMP2 cars. The cars must be 100% stock and have working lights. Basic tuning such as wheel truing and gluing of bushings is permitted and encouraged. The magnet downforce can be adjusted to a maximum total downforce of 300gms. as measured by the club's magnet marshal. Minimum track clearance is 1/16th inch. Teams can bring their cars or they can borrow one of the house cars, first come first pick. All of the house cars are tuned to be as close as possible in performance but no guarentes can be made. Those bringing their own cars will be allowed to bring spare Scaley 18K replacement motors, spare braids and spare stock wheels, reinforcement of the hubs is permitted. Teams will have at least two drivers and no more than four. Each team must provide one turn marshal during every heat. Every driver must drive at least two heats. There will be no track calls and all repairs and servicing of cars will be under green flag conditions. Time between heats will be 2 minutes. There will be a 5 minute break at the midpoint of the race. The third hour of the race will be conducted with reduced lighting. Space is at a premium so bring as little gear as possible. The raceway will have a hot soldering iron and a dremel tool on hand. Any controller you wish to use is permitted, the house has a couple of PM basic controllers available in case of an emergency. Additional details, corrections or changes if needed will be posted here no later than two weeks before the race. Those wishing to participate must RSVP by March 2, 2013 to reserve a space. Ideally we will have four teams but if interest is great enough we can go to a round robin sit out format to a maximum of six teams. There just isn't room for more than that. I can be contacted by PM here or e-mail me at modlerbob@comcast.net.

These are examples of the type of cars we will be running The pro car LMP Aston Martin/Lola will not be permitted. Repaints are OK but must minimally have three numbers.

Sounds lime a fun time. Wish I was closer, I would BBQ for you.

Good luck.

We have three teams and eight drivers who have indicated they want to participate. Openings are running out fast. I need to know who is coming ASAP.

Count me in, Bob. I am definitely going to make it.

Bibbster,

I hope you're driving!

Carrying all that you would need on to a plane might be rather challenging!

You better come loaded for bear! I will be! :violence-sniperprone:

I know for one thing . . . . we will have as much FUN as the law allows!

I'm really sorry to miss this one. Ken Brown was as nice a guy as you could ever meet, and before my time comes, I'd like to enter a race with his name on it.

Regrettably we have had to make a decision to postpone the enduro race scheduled for next Saturday, March 16. Somebody overlooked the fact that the 16th conflicts with other events that some of the racers are committed to attend, such as the Gator Nationals, bike week at Daytona and the 12 hours of Sebring. I am tentatively rescheduling the event for Saturday, April 20th at the same time, four PM to eight PM.
