Is the registration fee going to be charged up front or like the autox was, where it was charged when registration closed?

Great question. Payment will be deferred and accounts will be charged when registration closes.

If the captain is a member, do other drivers have to be THSCC members?

Membership is not required to attend this event, nor are we offering discounts to THSCC members (or even officers). Since we are paying VIR directly for basically all of the expenses of the event (kart & track rental), we are collecting the same amount of money from everyone.

So: bring your friends and spread the word.

I will ask the same question that Steven asked in the other thread on this topic...

"Cost? Minimum # of drivers? Weight-based classing?"

I am curious, but want more details.

If you click the link to the MotorsportsReg event, it has many details of the event. What additional details are you looking for? This is a new program for the club, so if you have any suggestions please post them.

Good question. I will contact VIR Kart Track and see if they have a minimum age requirement. I know that NASA has had minors (< 18) drive at their enduros, but I am not sure the minimum.

All signed up. I have done the nasa events and they are a good time.

Was anything ever found out about the age thing? John and Bobby have other commitments that have come up. I was thinking about signing my kids up for this with me, 14 and 16 years old.

Minimum recommended age as specified by VIR Kart Track is 12 years old, and they must be able to safely reach the pedals. Anyone under 18 will need to have a parent/guardian present to sign the minor waiver.

If anybody is looking to fill out a team, hit me up. I will be there for the weekend and could be pursuaded...

I was contacted by another DE participant that will be up there, he and a friend are also looking for seats in the enduro. Anyone interested, let me know and I'll put you in touch.

Registration is full with 12 teams! This is great news for us, but not so great for those that wish to participate and haven't registered yet. However, we are instituting a waitlist system, so those interested in participating please go ahead and register and if any other team cancels, you will be automatically entered and notified.

Registration will close and entry fee payments will be processed one week before the event on Saturday, March 29th.

:thumbsup:

Updated rules and regulations:

Race will be 120 minutes (2 hours) long.
Starting order and karts will be randomly assigned.
The race start will be a standing start on the front straightaway. On the out lap, maintain very slow speed and do not pass any karts and do not pass your grid spot. Once in your grid spot, do not go until a waived green flag is displayed.
Winners will be determined by those teams who have completed the most laps at the end of the race.
There will be two classes: Light and Heavy, as determined by the average weigh-in weight of all drivers on the team. Light will be up to 199 lbs., Heavy will be 200 lbs. and above. Each driver must weigh in just before the race. Drivers may wear all their gear during weigh-in, however, no ballast may be added to the driver or kart.
Each team must do a minimum of 3 pit stops (4 stints).
Pit speed limit is walking speed and begins at the threshold of the covered pit building. If you exceed the pit speed, you will either be black flagged for a stop-and-hold or a lap will be electronically deducted.
When changing drivers, the exiting driver may NOT push or touch the kart after exiting.
If you do not change drivers during your pit stop, the driver must come to a complete stop, exit the kart, run around the kart 360 degrees and re-enter the kart before leaving the pits.
No intentional bumping or blocking. A furled black flag may be pointed at a driver as a one-time courtesy warning to discontinue the behavior. Subsequent or serious infractions will result in a waived black flag.
If you receive a waived black flag, come in to the pits on your next lap and come to a stop and await instructions from a steward. Stop-and-hold penalties do not count toward the minimum pit stops.

While all 12 team slots are registered, there may be individual cancellations and teams looking for an extra driver. PM me if you are looking to get on a team and I will put you in touch with the teams.
