The Summer Enduro is scheduled for Saturday July 4th on the Wilson Circuit. This two hour endurance race format features the Birel Rock Karts on the .45 mile, ten-turn west portion of the Wilson Circuit.
Teams of two to six drivers take turns behind the wheel in a timed race where the winner completes the most laps in the allotted time period. In the first two Enduro races of the season the winning margins have been just 15 seconds and 2 seconds following 156 and 127 laps of competition respectively!
The exciting racing has attracted several Rock Kart Racing regulars as well as entrants from AutoX, SCCA road racing and the BeaveRun Karting Series including several father/son and driver/sponsor teams which has made for some fast, close racing!
The Enduros feature several twists not typically seen in the Rock Kart racing programs. Tire management is a key issue as the fast pace tends to be harsh on left front tires. Also, driver management comes in to play as teams are required to make five pit stops over the course of the race. And of course Lady Luck is a huge factor at any endurance race.
The cost of the race is $360 per team and includes fresh Enduro Race only tires fitted on all machines. Individual entries and partial teams are encouraged to enter as well and will be partnered with additional racers as needed. Mechanics and pit lane assistants are provided for the teams so racers only need to strategize and drive!
