Here's a really nice video of the Michigan 24, a 24-hour 1/32 team enduro in its tenth iteration. Video by Maxime Tremblay.
I'm pretty sure Butch 'Pappy' Dunaway was on one of the teams at this neat event, but if he's in the video, I didn't spot him. Wonder how much Butch had to pay the filmmaker to leave him on the cutting room floor?

How many hours does it take to run a 24-hour enduro if fifteen entrants show up for a five-lane track? Does all racing end after 24 hours and therefore each car ends up running for only eight hours?

They don't run 15 entrants/teams.
I don't think I ever heard of an enduro organizer accepting more than maybe one more team than the amount of lanes that were available.
Am I the only one that finds that beeping extremely annoying? At least turn the volume down.

The beeping did not bother me, though it could get to me in 24 hours I guess.
I did think the commentator was over the top with his observations.

Hey, Swiss, the YouTube video has a volume control, as I suspect your computer does as well. What's the problem?
I'm told there were six teams entered in this enduro, so it took about 30 hours to run.

I meant if I was there particpating.
30 hours of that?
It might just be me.
I remember going to a BBQ restaurant after a local race. A family at an adjacent table brought a Yahtzee game to play while they were waiting for their food. It was a long time ago but I'm sure I made them aware I thought shaking a cup with five dice in it, at a restaurant NOT named Yahtzee-Q, was a bit rude.
Call me when you have a chance or text me your number. I lost a lot of contacts when my phone locked up and I had to get a new one.

Nope.
And I see Pappy at 2:10 and 4:10.
