Default Fuel burn rate for SPB?

What's a conservative fuel burn rate for SPB? Answer in another thread!

I'm racing NOLA and have a 90 minute enduro -- wondering if I will need to be prepared to re-fuel or not.

I do have a 99, so I have a slightly larger fuel tank.

thanks,

Mike

Mike, send a PM to Rennlister Quadcammer. He might now, as he's racing/DE-ing one now. GL.

I’ve never had to refuel for an enduro, even at a fast track like WGI. Chris Drake had a rule of thumb for burn rate that he posted here, so you could try searching for that.

I never have either but then there was last year at the glen when I ran out 1 turn and a 1/4 mile or so from the finish. While in 2nd! Just make sure it's really full.

Mike,
I've run two 90 min enduros at NOLA and have always had plenty of fuel left. I believe the race this year is schedule for only 75 minutes. See you in a few weeks.

I rarely have anyone available to refuel me, so I fill it up and use the pit stop to eat a chicken sandwich.

You're gonna saddle tanks!



You won't need fuel. But like Scott said, make sure it's full.

However, if you want to run lighter earlier you could plan a fuel stop
