Great SCOTT!
Steve: Can you help me edit the title to say Enduro vs Endur.
I didn't know if everyone read the full announcement for the Cascade race or followed the special race brainstorming thread but...
The Special race at the opening race this year is a 1 hour enduro allowing a driver change for $150/car. One hell of deal!!! Split that between 2 drivers and it's a $75 race! So who's in?!
Another really cool feature is how they're doing Qualifying for it! Read below:
Here's the rules from the memo:
WHAT IS IT: The FAST SPECIALTIES CHALLENGE is a two race series (May 5, 2012 and June 30, 2012) that gives drivers a sample of endurance racing. Drivers may race in one or both races; however, points will be cumulative. Points earned in the series will have a dollar value which can be applied to the 8 Hours of the Cascades entry fee on October 20, 2012. Each race will be one hour in length with a mandatory pit stop to be made between the 25 and 35 minute mark of the race. Each entry shall consist of one or two drivers. During the mandatory pit stop, a driver change shall take place or a 60 second timed stop, whichever corresponds with the type of entry – one or two drivers.
THE POINTS: See ICSCC Championship Points. Each driver will receive the same points whether an entry is one or two drivers. Example: If a one driver entry wins – 25 pts are awarded. If a two driver entry wins – 25 pts are awarded to each driver. Pole points will be awarded to both drivers. Class series champions will receive credit towards the 8 Hours of the Cascades equal to $2.00 per point. All other positions will receive credit equal to $1.00 per point. For purposes of determining the 8 Hours of the Cascades entry fee credit, point totals will be by driver name in case a driver drives in two or more classes.
QUALIFYING: Round 1 (May 5, 2012) – PRESSURE QUALIFYING – Either driver may qualify. PRESSURE QUALIFYING shall consist of one green flag lap (one out lap and one green flag lap) Qualifying order shall be set based on practice times – fastest first to slowest last. The starting grid shall be set fastest to slowest. Round 2 (June 30, 2012) – 10 minute qualifying session. The starting grid shall be set fastest to slowest.
RULES: ICSCC rules apply. A driver may drive in up to two cars per race. If both cars are in the same class – the higher finish will apply towards the points. If a driver drives in two different classes – the driver will be awarded points in both classes. Car numbers will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. For the full set of rules, visit www.cascadesportscarclub.org and scroll down to pages 2/3 of this page.
ELIGIBILITY: Licenses – ICSCC ARR or IRR, SCCA National, CACC, FIA, ASN, or NASA. All other licenses must be approved by the ICSCC License Director. Novice license holders are not eligible.
ENTRY FEE: $150.00 US per car
The hope is that this race will give those drivers who have never tried an enduro, a sample of what endurance racing is like, and will give those drivers who have tried and like endurance racing a chance to do more of it. This race can also be fun for those who just want to do more RACING!!! Although we don’t anticipate too many cars needing to re-fuel, we wanted to make sure that those who wanted to do this series and need to re-fuel, a chance to enjoy this series with everyone else!! This race can be as simple as you want it to be – A single driver who comes in for a 60 second pit stop, to a pit stop for a driver change, to an all out mini endurance race with re-fueling and/or tire changes added in!! Just make sure it’s FUN!!!!
