tommytipover Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 The SCCA Enduro series finally kicked off this weekend. Entries were pretty thin and I was not involved in any way except watching live timing on my phone. The rules set has me intrigued, although it seems cars are weighed with fuel and it appears they are going to do fuel pump-outs to check capacity both of which might be a hassle after a long day on track. Anybody here have any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I love the ruleset. Hopefully they do well, however there are getting to be a lot of endurance racing series. Looking at the times, admittedly a small turnout, the hot dogs were only one second faster than the CC FTD at Nelson last year. Like I figured, the 5 minute pitstops, and tire width limits for each class, naturally limit performance versus a thick set of rules. The rest of the field was actually slower than the front half of a CC race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbogrill Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I think the problem is they classify based on displacement, so built high revving engines is the way to go. Not good for wallet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig71188 Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I like the ruleset - don't regulate what you can't really enforce.... Yes, there is a bit of a "loophole" for engine internals that someone will likely exploit if it gets going, but lots of good "other" stuff in the rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
