The first annual NERR team enduro will take place at Modelville Hobby on May 18 with coupes. Racing will be done on the Gerding King. Here is how the teams and racing will go:

  • Goal is to have four racers per team.
  • Each team will have a crew chief and will make up one of the 4 drivers on each team. Crew chiefs will be decided by Dom and Larry. Drivers will be assigned to a team by random draw.
  • NERR racers need to make a minimum of four races to be on a team.
  • Alternate drivers who do not make the four-race minimum will be rotated in based on sign-up. 
  • Teams will race for 30 minutes on each lane. Each driver will run for 7.5 minutes. 
  • Track will be shut off for 30 seconds during driver change during heat race. 
  • Track will be shut off for 60 seconds during lane change. 
  • All work on cars must be done under green.
  • Drivers who rotate out will marshal after their relief driver finishes their stint.
    • Example: Driver 1 comes out and will marshal when driver 3 goes in.
  • Painted coupe body, assembled chassis, tires, motors, gears, etc… will be given out at 7:30. Car will be assembled by the crew chief and team. Each team will have three engraved motors and two pair of Thunder medium rear tires.  
  • Entry fee per driver is $45. Payment must be sent to Dom by April 27 (not before April 1 please).
  • Tech at 9:30 with random lane assignment. 
  • Tech at halfway point. Track power goes off. If a car fails tech changes must be made under green and the car re-teched before returning to the track. Once all cars have been teched the race continues. Weight, rear tire size, track width, and clearance will be checked. 
  • Designated pit area will be in the short straight after the finger on the King.
  • At the end of the race individual motors from the race, race body, and chassis will be raffled off amongst the team.

As we get closer crew chiefs, tires, bodies/paint, will be posted. I'll be building the chassis for the race.

Here is a list of drivers that can still be eligible to race in the enduro. The names no highlighted have made atleast 4 events and are in. Those highlighted in orange need to make one of the last two races. Most of these people I have been in contact with and should make it at least one of them. Those highlighted in yellow will need to make both races.

 

If any of you can not make the enduro please let me know. Not looking for a hard count as I know things change and some may not be able to make the trip to Modelville.

 

The original plan was to have 4 racers per team (this includes the crew chief) but if we have more than 24 racers qualify the teams will be increased to 5 racers and each person will run 6 minutes per lane instead of 7.5 minutes.

Here are the crew chiefs and team names for the enduro. Racers for each team will be a blind draw from an envelope. The exception to this will be Luca, Marissa, and Tiernan will be on my (Dom's) team. After talking to thier parents (and kids) we thought it would be more fun for them to be on the same team.

Sorry no go there lol.  Here is a current list of drivers who have made at least 4 races.  Those highlighted in orange will need to make the 1010 race to be automatically qualified.   A list of the current alternates is also here.  Teams will be a min. of four racers with the intent to get to five per team.  If you are interested in being an alternate please let me know.

Please bring cash for the enduro to the banquet/final race on 4/27 at 1010.  I'll collect for the enduro during Can Am qualifying.  Once you have qualified please see me.

Couple of additional notes. Bartos bearings will be installed. Also in the event your guide breaks it should be replaced with another Redfox non-weighted guide. Just want to make sure the cars have all the same parts.

If we get 2 motors, then why not 2 pinions?

To make motor changes more challenging?

Gary, unfortunately I was planning on participation being higher and with only 1/2 of the now paid racers paying by the actual due date this event almost didn't happen. As a result I had to make some adjust to the parts being given to ensure money didn't come out of my own pocket.

It's all good Dom, I'm not complaining about a pinion. Hopefully everyone that's listed as a racer does the right thing and pays up. It's a little ridiculous that someone wants to be apart of a race and fails to pay when asked. SMH

Team change.  John Hoadley can't make it so Ernie Lachance is on Fast Kats.  Rocco Minnella is joining the Dominators.

 

Also Peter Lentros will be raffling off 4 Red Sox tickets for Saturday night (7:10 start).  Seats are located behind the 3rd base line.  Proceeds will go to Staint Jude.
