I just hope I get the chance to bust my cherry. I don't know any better so I'll just go with the flow.

I didn't take it that the Enduro was off the schedule but I read the message quickly. If that's the case, I'd rather they offer 1 Sprint and 1 Enduro. The races are so diferent and it's nice to mix it up.

I'm not getting that there isn't an enduro. Just an additional sprint this year.

I also read it as two sprints and an enduro. You would have thought with all the furor here around dropping the enduro at Watkins Glen last year that planners would know not to mess with the enduros!

the enduro at LRP is my absolute favorite race of the year. It is crazy. There is so much passing if you are the top class or two of a race group.

I believe Fred contacted Ms. Hanson as he had the same impression I did... You think we can get 2 sprints AND an enduro all in in ONE day??? Nah. Here it is -

"Unprecedented, unexpected, and UNMUFFLED. We’re talking about CVR’s 2010 “Racing into Spring” Club Race at Lime Rock Park. What is also unprecedented is the two-sprint format we have planned. In addition to Friday’s traditional “race school” format, Saturday will feature two separate sprint races for all run groups. Twice the fun, twice the excitement, and no noise limits – undeniably great news. But there’s even more. All this great track time and racing is available for less than the cost of the full schedule in 2008 or 2009! UNBELIEVABLE!"

I agree with Sean, I love the LRP "Enduro" which is really a 60 minute sprint with a 5 minute drink break.

That's my vote too! I think they may have eliminated the DE during the race also, not quite sure of the logic of any of it... Think it's time to refresh the leadership... get some young blood in there.

I think it's still early enough for them to make a change if enough people speak up.

I wish, but as a member of CVR that certainly wasn't asked for his opinion (did I miss the Poll?), I doubt if a change will be happening.

Not worth a 3 plus hour tow for 60 minutes of racing.....
