Any guesses how are they going to brake down the groups?

Why no enduros at LR anymore? I understand there are now 2 sprints but why not an enduro too? They were always real fun, and changed it up a little bit. Maybe friday afternoon instead of all those "fun" races?

The "fun races" and practice starts are part of the rookie candidate school... so they're not going to do away with those.

It was fun when they had the 60 minute enduro. But I think it comes down to timing and scheduling. In the past, they've also had a "touring group" (advanced DE group) - so to make sure they get time, too, we don't do the enduro any more. (I also think the 60 minute enduro excludes some cars with small gas tanks, since refueling isn't allowed.)

It was only 3 years ago when they still did the Enduro and they had the Fun races and DE at the same time. I would much rather do one Sprint and a 60 minute enduro than two sprints, even if it costs $100 or so extra...

Yea, no enduro killed this event for me.

Sprint races are like getting in to bed with Claudia Schiffer with all your clothes on.

Frankly I'd like to see PCA get rid of sprint races altogether and just run 60min minimum races, these cars are built for endurance after all. It is has been proven time and time again there are less incidences in enduros etc. so it seems like a no brainer to me.

Me too, though I've been warned about you E stock Northeasterners!!
Looks like 4 groups last year. Top E car ran a 59.293 best, and slowest of 1:07.6
Looks like I’ll be battling it out for the honored “the Goat” award!

Yes, a little lite for SPB. I can't make it this year because of family stuff. Should be a good SPB turnout at The Glen.
