My team and I are planning a trip up to Virginia International Raceway for a 24 hour enduro on the 11th and 12th of August. Citrus is closed that weekend our team would like to extend an invitation to the right individual to join us. One of our guys can not make it due to medical reasons and leaving us one driver short of a full team.( Chris Harvey is scared) The event is in Alton, VA....roughly a 12 hour drive from the Citrus County area. This event will have 125+ cars and close to 1000 total drivers...the largest and one of the longest races in the United States this year. The track is 4.1 miles and features 28 turns and several inclines/declines. Here is a layout of the course...

This place makes Watkins Glen, Infineon and any other road course in the US look like the parking lot at Walmart.
The plan is to leave out of Florida around 10 PM Thursday night....putting us at the track by noon on Friday the 10th. We would have the entire afternoon to get setup, tech inspection, gear checks, etc and have time for a good nights rest. The race starts at 10 am Saturday morning and ends at 10 am Sunday morning....24 hours. There is no breaks in bewteen and all drivers rotate 2 hour shifts for the entire 24 hours. We have a 1996 Honda Civic that is super reliable and extremely safe.I think it would make all 24 hours with some sensible driving. Here is the costs per driver, for 4, 5 and 6 drivers.
4 drivers 800 each = 6 hours of seat time ( 3, 2 hour stints
5 drivers 600 each = almost 5 hours each (2, 2 hour stints and roughly an hour)
6 drivers 550 each = 4 hours of seat time ( 2, 2 hour stints
Those costs include your entry and all race related expenses. We typically split the costs of hotels and we ride up in one vehicle. You would be required to purchase an annual license for $50.00 and are required to sign a waiver that if you crash and burn your family can not sue us
. This is awesome opportunity to race at the largest race in the United States this year ( in terms of car count) and at one of the most prestigious tracks in the world. All drivers are expected to assist with live pit stops ( changing tires, fueling, brakes, etc. )and help turn wrenches if needed.Danny Schlenker, Rick Maguire, Chris Harvey, Tim Scalise and others have raced with us and have either built, or are building their own cars now. We require a $200 deposit to hold your seat and the balance ( based on drivers) before we leave out.If you have raced everything and want try something totally new, shoot us an email and we will get back to you.
