Great American Enduro”
July 12, 2008
Perris Auto Speedway

Come one come all to the “Great American Enduro” on the famous half mile at the Perris Auto Speedway. If you compete and comply with your local short track rules in any American Factory, All American, Pure Stock, Factory Stock or any other AMERICAN STOCK division at your local short track then here is your opportunity to join in the FUN, THRILLS and EXCITEMENT of enduro racing.

The RACE

This will be a “Pure” (as pure as can be) 200 lap enduro. Driver teams are allowed and encouraged. However, the maximum allowed will be 4 drivers per car. If you think your tough enough to go it alone – good luck. The field will not have a limit set and the race will start 3 or 4 cars wide from a standing start. This is an endurance race so remember speed does not count as much as endurance. Spin’s crashes and rubbing is allowed, but anyone that attempts to turn the enduro into a demolition derby will be removed from the racetrack. Should you become one of the unlucky ones and your car is disabled on the racetrack a red flag will be thrown allowing the driver to exit the track. It is up to the officials to leave or remove the car from the racetrack. You see this is half the fun as the track progressively turns into an obstacle course. Any loss of a wheel, tire or flat right side tire requires you to go immediately to your pit area for repairs. The first legal (and we hope it’s legal) to complete the 200 laps or the car that completes the most laps (this would be a bummer) is the winner!

PIT STOPS

Pit stops will be allowed every 50 laps under yellow flag conditions. All pit stops must be made in an orderly fashion with safety in mind. The speed limit is 5 mile per hour in the pit area. Anyone caught speeding in the pit area will be assessed a (5) lap penalty. The yellow flag will be displayed for pit/fuel stops, in which case you will follow the direction of the officials as they organize the field so the leader is the first to enter the pits. During the yellow flag fueling laps competitors must reduce their speed to twenty (20) miles per hour and continue with caution. In all cases car position must be maintained. Cars passing on yellow flag laps will be penalized five (5) laps for every car passed. So don’t be stupid and pass anyone! Once the last car enters the pit area there will be a five minute time period for all cars to pit and refuel. At the end of the five minute period the racetrack will go green and the race is back on. The yellow flags laps do not count as laps completed.

SCORING

The enduro will be scored with individual scores supplied by each team. The scored must attend the mandatory scorer’s meeting one hour before the race in the scorer’s section of the grandstand. Scorer will be thoroughly instructed at the scorer’s meeting. Scorecards will be furnished, but scorers should bring their own pens or pencils and a clipboard. The scorer’s card must match and follow the officials scorer’s independent scoring of random cars during the event. All scorecards must be returned to the chief scorer immediately following the event. If transponders are used a $25.00 rental fee will assessed.

FOUR STANDARD RULES

There are four simple rules (you knew there was going to be a few standardized rules) you must meet so that the playing field is equal!

  1. All cars must weigh a minimum of 3500 pounds with the driver before and or after the race.
  2. Maximum 7” tires only and must be a DOT passenger car tires only. No mud or snow tires. No Hoosier tires of any type. No grooving on the tires. No recap tires.
