$180/team
Endurance Race Format and
Rules:
-
Dates of Races:
July 26, 2009 at 6pm. You must
preregister.
-
Endurance races are 2 hours long
or 300 laps, whichever comes
first.
-
Each team will consist of 3
racers minimum and 5 racers
maximum.
-
Each racer will run between 10
and 100 laps per driver session.
-
No racer can run more than 150
laps in a race.
-
Each team must make 3 mandatory
pit stops. Teams can pit as many
times as necessary in order to
complete the race.
-
Qualifying will be 5 laps in
randomly assigned karts.
-
The racer who qualifies for the
team must start the race for
that team.
-
Qualifying fastest lap times
determine the starting order for
the race, not the kart number.
-
Karts will be selected randomly
by drawing.
-
Teams will be gridded for a
standing start on the track,
remember this is a 300 lap race.
Crashing or getting penalty in
the first corner, does not
benefit your team.
-
Trophies will be awarded for
first, second and third place.
-
10 Teams will be signed up for
the endurance race. Each team
must pay the entry fee in full 7
days in advance of the race in
order to be eligible to race. In
the event that your team is a no
show for the event and there is
no team to fill in the space
left open, your team loses the
entry fee. If an alternative
team can be found the day of the
event, the team's money will be
refunded.
-
The karts will go the two hours
with no need for refueling or
tire changes.
-
Each team will be tracked in the
computer and the team with the
most laps who crosses the line
first after the allotted time or
who completes 300 laps will win.
-
In the event that a kart fails
for a mechanical reason other
than a crash, the team will be
given a replacement kart the
race will not be stopped unless
it is deemed unsafe to remove
the kart from the track for the
team to get a new kart.
-
If a race needs to be slowed to
remove a kart and replace it,
the karts will be slowed using
the Shutdown system. No passing
will take effect under this full
course yellow situation.
-
All American Indoor Karting
Rules Apply
-
The first penalty for
violation of the rules will
be a 10-second pit stop for
that team's kart and driver
in the pit. Penalties start
upon all other karts exiting
the pits.
Example: Team 5 gets a
penalty. Team 4 is in the
pit changing drivers. Team 5
must wait to receive their
penalty time until Team 4
has exited the pit after
changing drivers.
-
The second penalty for a
violation of the rules will
be a 30 second pit stop for
the team and the removal of
the driver from the race.
Another driver must continue
racing.
-
The third penalty for any
particular kart regardless
of driver will result in
removal of the kart from the
race.
-
Most racers are accustomed
to a 20 lap race. This is a
300 lap or two hour
endurance race, not a
sprint. Remember that there
will be hundreds of turns to
get past your opponents, not
just the next one in front
of you.
·
This event is non-refundable.
No refund will be given for any
reason, kart breakage, violation of
rules, improper conduct or basically
losing the race for any possible
reason on the planet that could
occur.
-
Please remember that this is
supposed to be fun. We award
prizes, trophies and other items
for endurance races, but the
goal is to enjoy two hours of
spirited racing in a competitive
environment without someone
getting hurt. Remember your
manners and act appropriately as
a winner or loser. Take into
consideration that there are a
number of other people trying to
enjoy the same experience that
you are. Don't be a poor sport
and ruin the experience for
someone else. Inappropriate
actions will result in the
participating member being
barred from racing at American
Indoor Karting again
