THSCC 2H Kart Enduro

Information

Come join us for wheel to wheel karting at VIR! The same weekend that THSCC will be running its HPDE program we will have an arrive-and-drive two-hour karting enduro at the VIR Kart Track on Saturday evening. Those who are already attending the HPDE program can come compete in the enduro as well after your track day, or bring your friends out and give them a taste of wheel-to-wheel karting.

NOTE: Registration for this event constitutes one team entry. That means only the team captain must sign up. A maximum of twelve (12) teams can compete at this event.

Entry fee is $180 per team. Payment method must be provided upon registration, however cards will not be charged until registration closes one week before the event.

Rules & Regulations

• Race will be 120 minutes (2 hours) long.
• The race start will be a standing start on the front straightaway. On the out lap, maintain very slow speed, follow the track marshalls instructions and do not pass your grid spot. Once in your grid spot, wait until a waived green flag is displayed to indicate the start of the race.
• Winners will be determined by those teams who have completed the most laps at the end of the race.
• There will be two classes: Light and Heavy. All drivers must weigh-in prior to the start of the race. Each team's drivers' weights will be averaged, and the teams will then be sorted in weight order. The half of the teams with the heaviest average will compete in the heavy class, and the half of the team with the lightest average will compete in Light class. This ensures that there an even number of drivers competing in each weight class.
  • For example: 12 teams weigh-in with average weights of: 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 210. The split point in this case will be between 150 and 160 lbs, thus 150 and less would be light class (6 teams), and 160 and above would be heavy class (6 teams).
• Each team must do a minimum of 3 pit stops (4 stints).
• Pit speed limit is walking speed and begins at the "slow down" signs in the pit lane. If you exceed the pit speed, you will either be black flagged for a stop-and-hold or a lap will be electronically deducted.
• When changing drivers, the exiting driver may NOT push or touch the kart after exiting.
• If you do not change drivers during your pit stop, the driver must come to a complete stop and will be held by an official for a set length of time and then released back onto the track. This will constitute one stop.
• No intentional bumping, blocking, or reckless behaviour. Violators will be black flagged.
• Additional supplemental rules may be announced at the driver's meeting by either THSCC staff or VIR Kart Track staff. Please arrive early enough to weigh-in all of your team members and attend the drivers meeting.

Requirements for drivers:

• Closed-toe shoes must be worn while driving
• Minors must have a parent or guardian present to sign the minor waiver. If a parent or guardian cannot be present, please contact the event organizer ahead of time.
