We are ready to host our 1st annual 4 Hour Endurance Race at Canaan Motor Club this Saturday. Thank you to all who entered for understanding that this is a members only event. We will take the lessons learned from this first-time event to make all future editions bigger and better in the coming years.
Here are the timeline and special rules for the weekend.
Friday night entry and trailer drop-off will be 4-8pm. Pre-race safety inspections will be available, as will camping for a $25 fee.
• Saturday morning the gate will be open 7-11am. All drivers, crew and spectators must be in by 11am. No exceptions.
• No race engines may be started before 8:05am.
• The mandatory drivers meeting will be at 8:30am.
• Practice will be 9-10:30am. This will be a continuous open practice. There will be a hot pit lane, so you may exit and enter the pits as many times as you need.
• There will be no spectating along the Armco barrier. We will make other accommodations for watching.
• During the race and practice refueling will be restricted to a designated area near the pit exit. As always, there will be absolutely no refueling allowed on any paved surface.
• Pump gas will be allowed for this event, along with VP MS93 or MS98 race fuel. No Additives. No mixing of fuels.
• There will be a pit stop box. EVERY driver must weigh in after their driving stint.
• Custom weight systems must be approved in pre-race safety inspection.
• No driver may switch teams after the race starts.
• No radio communications to drivers is allowed.
• There will be a complete supplemental rules sheet in your packet when you sign in.
The shipment of new LeCont tires has arrived, so we are well stocked for both classes.
Starting around 11am, Lee will be cooking burgers for lunch. There will also be some sides and chips. No charge. He will keep cooking as needed throughout the day until we run out.
It looks like the thermometer will only reach the mid-50s. Please bring warm clothes. Ski or snowmobile gloves are recommended. Latex gloves under normal driving gloves work well too. Don’t forget extra socks if you wear lightweight driving shoes.
Also, after we are done for the day, we will be storing the crash barriers in the barn for the winter. We can always use some extra muscle to complete that chore.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the track one last time in 2022!
