This is an exerpt from the Tamiya Track's "Unofficial" website:
02.08.03 It's getting serious!
It’s going to be the biggest little race of the year, what started out as a fun little weekend warrior bash is quickly becoming one of the hot on-road events for the local pros. I’m talking about the 4 Hours of Tamiya which is going on this Sat.
Yes it’s on Sat. so the track will be closed this weekend for normal practice. But if you do not have an enduro team lined up I would suggest showing up and watching some of the best drivers on the world tear off the laps for four hours. We are talking some serious names. Here is a list of some of the drivers who have confirmed they will be racing: Rick Hohwart, Brian Kinwald, Mike Truhe, Brian Dunbar, Travis Amezcua, Derek Furtani, Tyree Phillips, Chris Tosolini, Ryan Cavalieri, Joe Pillars, Rich Trujillo, Jukka Steenari, Greg Hodapp, and of course TTLocal Dave Jun. There are many other names that haven’t confirmed but have shown great interest and are just trying to fit it in their schedules and build a team.
The forecast calls for rain most of the week so it shall be interesting to see how they deal with a farley green track. A suggestion for those watching from the sidelines bring a stop watch and take some lap times as this will give you an excellent look into the capabilities of what Tamiya car can do. For those entered, remember 4 hours is a long time and driving over your head will just cause your team to drop further down the leader board. Good luck to all, see you on Saturday.
