Our infamous 4-Hour Twilight Enduro is coming up on November 17.
If you're in the area of Summit Point, West Virginia, stop by!
This year, for the first time, I'll co-drive the Twin Cam Escort instead of one of the Spridgets.
And we'll bring Pete's #23 Spridget as a "Plan B" in case the Escort looks bad in the sprint races.
We'll also have Bruce's 1275 Mini too.....that's "Plan C" I guess.
The 4-Hour is an "indexed" race. Slower cars always start first and faster cars start later (up to 30 minutes later for the really fast cars). The car with the most laps by 8 PM is the winner.
It's set up so that the faster cars start catching the slower cars near the end....very exciting!
Especially when you're in a Sprite and are getting "reeled in" by a Viper or a Mustang.
The race starts at 4 PM, so it transitions to darkness. Good headlights, polarized rear view mirrors and good night vision are essential.
In preparation, I'm eating a lot of carrots!
Anyway, the Escort will start about 10 minutes after the slowest cars so we'll have our own "reeling in" to do this time.
If you'd like to volunteer to flag, pit-marshall or whatever, drop a note to my pal Kevin L. (soon!) and he can fill you in on details. ( kevinl407@yahoo.com ). This is a great event to "work".

The end of a previous 4-Hour with #23 Spridget.
