We ran our endurance races last night and we all had a great time.   we weren’t sure we were going to be able as right before people started showing up it rained pretty good.    I was hesitant about setting the track up outside because the possibility of rain was still really high.   Thanks to some convincing by Chad we finally just went with it.   It was a good decision because with the earlier shower the temps were cooler (low 80’s) and very comfortable to race in.    it was overcast so the sun wasn’t beating on us either.  

The racing was really great.   We modified out format for the race this year.   We still do the 1 hour Racer race (70turn) class.   In the past years we also did a 1 hour F1 class.   We wanted to run our Pan Cars on the larger track so we switched it up this year and did a 30 minute F1 class and followed that up with a 20 minute Open Pan Car Class with a mandatory pit stop for a battery change.  

We had a new racer (Brian Beckstrand) come out for his first time racing mini-z’s (he had run other scale R/C).   He had purchased a AMZ chassis but didn’t have it together and it wouldn’t have fit in the class anyway.   He ustilized one of my loaner cars and raced it.    He did a very respectable job on his first race.   Especially well since it was the 1 hour raced and had to do pit stops with an unfamiliar chassis but did great.

Thanks to everyone for coming out and helping with the setup and tear down of the track.   I’ll get the results posted as well.   For now here are a few of the pictures.
