Here it is, the feedom enduro information. I know it's late, but hey, non of you guys posted about it either lol
We had intended to run a 1 hour race with the Racers and a 500 lap race with the Formula 1 cars on a large oval. We decided to just run both races for an hour as we decided to not change the track to an Oval and just run the layout we ran the racers on.
Here is a drawing of the track we ran, and the trophies. (you can click them for larger views).
here are the results from the race.... my 5 year old son Cygen also raced in the 1 hour Racer race and finished it.
My wife was nice enought to take care of changing his batteries and fixing tires, etc. if he had issuees. :cool:
it was a great race, the track had a good flow and was fast, we ran outside in the middle of summer so that means hot, it also means good traction. the track cools some when the sun goes down, but since it was still hot, the track didn't cool much so traction stayed good the entire night.
Racer 1hr Enduro Racethe racer race started out clean, everyone was off and in for a grueling race, Ryan had the early machanical problems with a broken H-plate. he was off the track for quite a while, but managed to get it back together and back on his way. Chad also suffered from a few thrown tires, he managed to hold off Russ who what running a clean race and was only 2 laps behind Chad at the end to claim the third podium spot and trophy, Luke ran a good race and came in 4th, (see his 4th place pic,
) I managed a nice clean race, with no problems to mention and came in with a 10 lap lead. Cygen in his first race over 8 minutes managed to stay on the track for the entire hour and came in 5th thanks to Ryans car issues, a great finish for 5 year old.

F1 1hr Endurothe one hour F1 race got off to a good start, and I took a health lead but it was not to be, I suffered machanical issues with my motor mount screws working their way loose, I ended up off the track in search of the right screws to get the car back on the track. Chad seized the moment and was not to be caught by anyone, his race was clean and fast and he took the win in our inagural F1 enduro. meanwhile I had managed to get my car back on the track and hold on to second place. Ryan had no issues with his F1 and was able to hold off luke by 2 laps to bring in third place and claim his trophy. Russ was having some traction issues and came in 5th.
