Hi All, I am wondering if anyone is interested in coming up or down to partipate in the PCRA 1 hr event as the sidecars have a 20 min enduro Event. it is on the 17th-18th of september.
Wow is it a year already since we came over there to have fun??? We can't make it this year but I encourage others to get there if they can. The track is great fun on a sidecar and we got lots of racing which certainly made it worth the 15 hour drive. And it is a very friendly place too with lots of people coming to say hello to you. Highly recommend it. Geoff Sidecar #30
Is that 20 minutes or 20 laps? Surely an enduro has to to be an enduro. We have come up with an idea at home here. 24 lap race, 24 stubbies on the pit wall. Each lap a stubbie is removed and set aside for who is leading for that lap. At half distance they are set aside for who ever is coming last on each lap. Now that would be an endurance for some!

Hi John, it is a 20 minute + 1 lap enduro. it is more for fun than anything but it would be more interesting if we had a big field on the grid for it as the spectators love watching us and always line the wall.
And just before you start to think that 20 mins is not that much think about how much actual racing time you spend on your average 5 lapper! Not much is the answer! Then think about the logistics of some of our bikes - yes I know mine is extreme in some aspects - but I had no idea how to work out how much fuel I needed nor how hard I could ride to make sure the fuel load made the distance nor indeed how hard I could ride to make sure I made the distance. And then they make it a LeMans start and I had fronted with a passenger who was awaiting knee replacements!! (When they said run, he said, your joking!!) I reckon by the time I have done 4 or 5 of these I might have some of these answers worked out. And given the distance I am from Wakefield Park I reckon it might be 10 years before I get there enough times to get the answers! But I am going to try and do it. Have fun. Geoff Sidecar #30
I think we should try longer races, because it would change the current sprints to races where different strategies would be needed. And I think it would produce better racing.
