PCA Club Race Enduro 90, 180 or 360 minutes?
What’s the general consensus of trying a PCA 3 or 6 hour Enduro for the East side of the US? Is there a need to fill?

I'd be in for a 3 hour Enduro. Not sure any of my cars would run for 6 hours.
Two hour Enduros are tough unless you require two fuel stops as some cars can't run for an hour on a tank of gas.

Three hour enduro would be awesome.
Watkins Glen would be the place for me but perhaps somewhere more central like VIR would be fitting.

I don't organize any PCA races, but I know there is always talk about how to drive attendance and make events profitable for the regions running them. I really enjoy the enduros and think having an extended enduro, like they used to run at Daytona, may promote more participants. If every race weekend consists of two sprints and one 60 or 90 minute enduro, spicing up the enduro may help. I would have liked to try the 6 hour they ran in the fall, but Colorado was too far of a tow for me. Maybe this year they will try one on this side of the Mississippi. 
My two cents.

Sure they will but you have to be nice to them.
The reason I was thinking about it is that at Summit I got my fastest time of the weekend on a set with 26 cycles. On the 27th they started to come apart and I was off twice in one lap. Twenty six cycles was probably very close to 12 hrs but wear should happen faster all at once so who knows?
BTW: Summit would be a great place for a 6 hr. Anywhere but LRP. Sprints seem long there.
