5hr Enduro Race - Houston 9/3 evening
 

The time has come again for another Endurance Race at the River Race Track in Brazoria Texas (south of Houston). This is our 2nd year running the event and the first year was a blast! (4hrs enduro first year and 1st and 2nd place were only ONE lap apart!)

50% of all entry fees will be paid out to top 3 finishing teams
1st Place team wins 50% of purse
2nd Place team wins 30% of purse
3rd Place team wins 20% of purse

9/3/11
Signup ends at 4:00 PM
Race Starts at 5:00 PM
Race Ends at 10:00 PM

Each team will consist of 4 individuals
Each team may have no more than 1 (one) sponsored driver
Every 15 minutes we will have a rotation between driving, pitting, marshalling and resting

Must use same vehicle for entire race. Any part may be repaired or replaced but you may not swap vehicles if you break.

Run what you brung. We will allow nitro or electric, buggies, truggies and short courses. Nothing larger than 1/8 Scale. There will be no mandate on pitting or changing batteries.

Entry fee will be $150 per 4 man team.

We all had a ton of fun at the last enduro and look forward to doing it again. Every driver will get to drive 75 minutes over the course of the 5 hour race. I expect the winning pace is going to be a little over 500 laps.

Race will start at 5:00 PM to get us out of the worst of the heat and we will finish at 10:00 PM under the lights.

Start getting your teams together.

Damn, that sounds fun. :)

This sounds awesome.

Yes, it will be a blast. For being posted so recently we already have 4-5 teams. I think they are capping it at about 12. If you are within the Houston Texas vicinity. Call Darren and reserve your team's spot. This is a very rare and unique kinda race!

We have our team together! This race is gonna be awesome!

See you there man!

What is the majority car type? 1/8 buggy, truggy, sct?

Not sure I want to throw my hat in the ring on this. It's a little longer event than I want to start with - either as an entrant or a team member.

But a 'Baja' type rc enduro event holds casual interest for me.

-AC-

They raised it to 5hr from 4hr last year because it goes by surprisingly fast. Bajas would be cool to run gas wise but that track's jumps have been brutal to Bajas. Most don't last 15minutes without braking an arm component or stripping a gear.

Most teams will be nitro 1/8 buggy or truggy. I think there is 3 or 4 1/8 E buggy teams as well.

+1 4 hours went by really quick and everyone wanted more lol
