Do we have 45 minutes (as detailed in the time line of the first post) to build, or 1 hour (as stated in the narrative)?

Also, may we have duplicate bodies for tech/race?

What are the rules/requirements on the tires (e.g., can the .850's be cut; What can/can't we use once they wear down)?

Thanks.

Chuck, you have 1 hour to build the car, 45 minutes in the timeline was a typo, it's now changed, thanks for pointing that out!

Your allowed 1 body for the whole race.

You'll get 2 sets of tires. Basically 1 set for each 2 hour segment. And you have to run the handout tires. You can cut the tires down, but remember with OCC once a race begins you have to maintain .055 clearance. I'd recomend starting with .850s :yes:

Cap & All other teams:

I will be bringing a guy along with me from the Rochester area to the Enduro. He was going to form a team, but the slots are full. At a minimum he wants to come and hang out/float, but would love to join an existing team. Any team smaller than 4 want an additional member? He's a solid, solid racer, an expert builder, and a good guy.

Let me know?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Cap,
Need to have something clarified.
Some of the names I see I dont recall have them raced with us in the OCC this year,are they still required to pay the membership fee for the enduro?
Thank You!

Chuck, you guys have the 8th spot, i'll update it Sunday when I get home.

Brian, this year I waved the fee for the enduro to create more interest for 2012-2013.

Need clarify a few things.

Teams must have a driver rotation order that is followed.

All drivers must race. A team can't consist of 1 driver and a "full time marshall"

3) Fran Thorne
4) John DiViko

Cap, Brandon has dropped as he has another engagement elsewhere and cannot make it. So Team J & B will be myself and Elmo.

Cap and Mike Muir, thanks for running with the OCC, you did a good job. To all of the regulars, it's been a fun year, looking forward to more of the same next year. Hope the out-of-towners enjoyed the the Enduro at Rt 93.
And finally, Debbie and Willie, thanks for hosting us yesterday. The raceway looks great and the track was perfect. And we all know who would be proud that yesterday went so well.

Thanks to all the teams who showed up, Debbie and the whole gang at Route 93, Parma PSE for the car kits, and Ralph Thorne for the plaques! The enduro went pretty trouble free overal! And I cant say enough about the newly refurbed Route 93, tracks and building are just awesome!

And on a personal note, I'd like to thank Mike Muir, Brad Feuerstein, Precision Slot Cars, Parma/ PSE, and HMS Speedways as being apart of the winning team! I had 2 of the best teammates, there wasn't a dull moment! LOL :pardon:

The 2012-2013 Schedule will be out very soon, thanks to everyone!
