The rules for the Endurance Race should be posted to the website sometime this week. They are very basic and simple. Enough to keep people inline and the competition fair and equal. There are three groups of competitors, 4WD, 2WD, and SxS each will be run separately throughout the day.

As far as classes are concerned we are currently looking at the potential for 3: Stock, Trail Ridder, and Outlaw. As most of you know there is a ton of upgrades and options available for the rail buggy market so we are working diligently to class the vehicles appropriately. In the end on the day of the race we will segregate the groups.

Stock: This class in a nutshell is for the novice buggy person. Not a lot of performance upgrades, naturally aspirated, stock carbs, etc.

Trail Ridder: The slightly more serious buggy guy. Boxed and extended trailing arms, beefed up suspension, larger carbs, etc.

Outlaw: You will know if you are in this class. Basically this class is for the guys who are serious buggy nuts, forced air, long travel suspension, a-arm setup, coil-overs, etc.

All of this is documented in the rule book. Check the website daily for the latest release or send me an email and I will get an advance copy to you.

Here is an update for you guys:

We have added an electronic timer system to the track. It will allow racers to keep running so we don't need to stop at a checkpoint providing more action and allowing competitors to accrue more laps.

It will provide the competitor with the number of laps completed, lap time, average lap time, average speed, etc.

BTW: If you guys know anyone who would like support the race we are still looking to fill a few more billboard spaces. If you are interested PM me or send an email to registration@iokrock.com
