5 hour endurance race at Hastings

[Jack_Brock]

I'm out eventhough I really like endurance racing.  I'm not interested in the wear and tear on my sprint bike.  A friend of mine had kept an old sprint bike to do endurance on last year, but they canned it after the first race which was a little frustrating.  I don't see a one-off endurance race having much success, but who knows.

Jack,

It was good to meet you at the banquet.

I can't honestly say on an SV, but for a in-line 4 that's stock, 5 hours is nothing.  Especially if you don't over-rev it and properly maintain it.  My sprint bike in 07 already has a 4 hour endurance race on it, and will probably have some team challenges and maybe an endurance or two on it this year.  I'll probably swap out motors in 08.  Throwing a bike down once in 5 hours is a concern, but suprisingly enough, there really aren't that many crashes in endurance racing.

It's amazing what the inline 4's can take.  We ran 3 hours of a 5 hour endurance race w/o a clutch after the cable broke. 

Sorry you can't make it.  We'll see you in April..

this is a good idea and i could be interested if it wasnt the same weekend as ama road atlanta
what would the purse be?

AMA National? Whatever.......! By that time in the year you`ll be sick of spending four grand a weekend to get your ass kicked and you`ll be back at the ccs regionals!

I had an F3 that had well over 15k miles on it before we did a season of WERA endurance on it. We did well enough to take 3rd in HWSS nationally in '02. After that I did three more years of sprint racing (15-20 weekends a year) plus instructing with Ed Bargy school (5-10 weekends a year) and it still was fast enough to win two championships in '05.

All we did was change tires, oil and brake pads.

So is this going to happen???

[Super Dave]

I don't think it's on any schedule.

It would've been fun, but I don't think the turn out would've been there...
