thewheelerZ Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) So, who's going? Is there a chance we will hit 45 cars? Any other EC/Race cars taking advantage of the 3 hour enduro option? Officially one month left until we go racing again! A track day is booked this coming Saturday for a little bit of race car therapy but other than that Wheelhouse Racing is ready to go.

HGHarpen17 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Pocket Deuces Racing is strongly considering attending with our #922 1990 Miata. I believe there is a 3 hour enduro and 6 hour enduro option. The registration page says "2 days" after both options. Does this mean signing up for either of these enduros gets you 2 days of those short races (i.e., signing up for the 6 hour enduro option for $800ish gets you a 6-hour enduro on Saturday and a 6-hour enduro on Sunday)? If so, we're doing the Double-6s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Calabogie is awesome. Be sure to get one of the badass hotel rooms there. Also there is a scan on rfactor, the sizing is a little of but it will help you get an idea of all the corners. http://trippteamdownload.servegame.com:100/RFACTOR1/TRACKS/A-F/Calabogie%20Motorsports%20Park.zip Edited August 29, 2017 by Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we're doing the Double-6s! The wording is a bit confusing. I'd bet that what they mean is 6 hour enduro as in 3+3. But, don't forget the price is in Cdn$ too, makes for a pretty cheap race entry. But I agree with Ken, come do the whole thing! A well driven Miata could do well there.

miatainium Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 We'll be bringing our Miata to kill tires on that super-abrasive surface ... gotta practice F1-style quick tire changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have agreed with you on it being a 3+3, but the registration gives separate options for "3 hour enduro (2 days)" and "6 hour enduro (2 days." I emailed back and forth with Wendy, and although she was really helpful I'll admit I'm still not 100% certain. I wrote "For final clarification though, if we chose the 6-hour enduro option, is this a 6-hour enduro on Saturday and a 6-hour enduro on Sunday? Or is it just one 6-hour enduro?" And the response was "The 6 hour is for Saturday and Sunday yes". I may try calling as this would be cleared up in a second over the phone in an actual conversation. As far as why the shorter enduro option vs the main event? Simply put, although I support Chumpcar and Chumpcar Canada as great organizations, money is always a factor. The team has already done 3 race weekends this year, and our final projected event was going to be the December VIR. This seems like a great option for an "extra" race, and if it's actually 2 x 6-hour races for $900ish, that ends up being a much better value than the 16 hours of driving in the main event for $1700ish. (I'm hoping these numbers I'm seeing on the registration page are CAD, but MotorsportReg isn't exactly Canadian based so I'm not sure at this point.) If/when I get a clarification on this, I'll post it up here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatainium Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 99% sure that it's Canadian dollars, not USD. The fees on Motorsportsreg are early $1356 and late $1582 ... which are $1200+13% HST tax and $1400+13% HST. So for you being from the US you're looking at less than $1300USD vs. $1700 for the event main event. Seems like a good deal to me. As you said, the best way to contact Wendy is to call her. She's very friendly and you will be able to get a clear answer instantly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
