Michigan 4th annual 24 hour race

[redlynr]

It was great seeing everybody again, and meeting a few new people... Times were dropping throughout the evening... Lots of low 7's with a few high 6's sprinkled in from certain drivers...

Pray tell more.....that is fast! Love to know who and what car is setting those times...

[redlynr]

All were in the low 7's... Saw Smokeio rip off some high 6's with the test car... I didn't catch any others specifically, I was just staring at the lap times randomly...

Yes, fast indeed. Not fun to get walked so easily. These guys can drive on another level!!! IIRC, my best was 7.2 and change...

I hope someone will post updates here.

There are a lot of SCI Readers interested in this race as it unfolds I hope someone can post updates every few hours.
Good luck and good speed to all.

4 heats down, Team SCC has the lead so far. Team Dum Dum is running a strong 2nd, followed by the Team Hazzard (Atlanta).

I'll say it again, there has been some awesome driving by many racers...

[Scaleracing]

Thank you Dickie

Way to go SCC, who is Team Dumdum? how far back are Mark and the guys from Atlanta?
in 20 minutes you will be 1:6 through the race :)
Are there 5 Teams?

[nhdungeonracer]

Smokeio has run a blistering 6.775 in the white lane!!!

There are 6 teams this year.
Team Dum Dum consist of mainly guys from MI, with the odd guy being Kurt...

Because of having a 6th team, which means a team is sitting out at all times, once we get 6 heats in, we'll know better where each team stands...

[redlynr]

6 teams of 5...

Edit... too slow.

[Scaleracing]

Great to get 6 Teams well done Mike.

So does that mean the race will run for 28.8 hours so all Teams run for 24 Hours?

As I understand it....

....there are 6 teams entered running on a 5 lane track, so there is a "sit-out". the 24 hour race will actually last 30 hours total. Talked to George/SouthernSloter yesterday and they were still looking for speed. SCC team had fast cars and were the team to beat. The Atlanta gang, the [B][COLOR=red]Dudes of Hazzard[/COLOR][/B] if you will, were down a couple tenths per lap which is huge in a 24 hour race.

In the defense of the [B][COLOR=red]Dudes of Hazzard[/COLOR][/B], we don't run silicone tires,,,,,EVER, and this race is a silicone tire event. The SCC guys run silicones A LOT on their race series, on their home tracks.

This is all I know, I am looking for more info like everybody else.

5 drivers in each Team, do all have to drive equal time?

Who be about 4.8 hours for each driver, if you have enough workers that could be a fairly relaxed race schedule.
Especially with the sit out. Still a lot of work and a lot of people again well done to all especially Mike for getting that many to enter :)
