Is there any chance that we can get some hot laps in to see how are cars are running/handling before we race. Some of us had some major straghtening out to do and wonder if my car will handle right. I saw N.E.S last year sent cars out for hot laps. This worked out well to do any changes in the car before being thrown into the feature. Once your out there, and something isnt right you have to go laps down because of a problem that cannot be corrected by just driving around slowly. It dont have to be many laps, but Im not sure how many N.E.S. has. thanks:)

my guess would be no, its an enduro, not a weekly class

That would be correct...Enduros are not allowed hot laps, practice laps, or whatever else you can name it. It is an endurance race and you should be prepared for anything...like spark plugs (had to use you as an example Ryan :help:). This tests not only your driving skills and memory, but also your mechanical skills.

My car is so slow I could test run it inside of a 2 bay garage :applause::lol:

I'll be one of the only guys hoping to start at the back of the pack so I don't have to get run over on the start of the race like last time.

Actually we tuned the car up a little and fixed some small problems, hoping those problems were why it was so sluggish before.

In time Nate...in time you will understand that in an enduro it is not the fastest cars that win races!

Oh I know, but if you are the slowest, you better as heck make it more than 30 some laps :lol:

Honestly, my goal is consistency out there, even if it is consistently slower then everyone else. I won't be banging fenders or trying to run someone against the wall in the turns, I'll be racing my own race out there so everyone else just leave me alone :cool:

The first race didn't go as planned but we knocked out some of our problems and hopefully we will have a good day Sunday.
