As the clock ticked into the New Year, ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv’s Team Enduro program was undergoing an evolution to bring endurance racing to more ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Regions through a flexible and customizable ruleset. These revitalized rules would target not only a low barrier to entry, but also ease the logistical difficulty for Regions hoping to host an ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro. The resulting updated 2023 ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro rules have now been approved by the ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Board of Directors and are available for Regions and drivers to utilize.
“For the past year, we’ve been working on what this program looks like in the hands of the Regions, and we’ve created a document that reads more like our traditional rulebooks,” explained Jon Krolewicz, Senior Manager of Regional Track Program Development and chairman of the ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Enduro Racing Board. “For drivers and teams, the information is organized into driver eligibility, vehicle eligibility/requirements, sporting regulations and, if the event is running them, the National classing.”
The ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro rules not only broaden the ability for Regions to host endurance races, but they also allow for participants from other series to easily enter with existing competition vehicles, assuming those race cars meet ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Road Racing safety standards. In addition, the rules formalize ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv’s National classes for ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro events.
Equally as important are the two appendixes outlining what a Region needs to do to host an ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro, from procedures to staffing and administration.
“When an ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Region commits to renting a track for an event, it’s a big investment in time and resources,” Krolewicz noted. “Region leaders have to be confident they can successfully host one of these ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro events, so we’ve focused on creating a step-by-step guide for what they need and how they can include ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro as part of their events. This will enable more events across the country and a better ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro program for those on track and trackside.”
ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Regions interested in hosting an ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Team Enduro as a standalone event or alongside an existing program are encouraged to contact Krolewicz at jkrolewicz@scca.com.
