About this event
Information
This is the inaugural THSCC Kart Enduro event! 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 $150 per team.

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 and do not pass any karts and do not pass your grid spot. Once in your grid spot, do not go until a waived green flag is displayed.
- 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, as determined by the average weigh-in weight of all drivers on the team. Light will be up to 199 lbs., Heavy will be 200 lbs. and above. Each driver must weigh in just before the race. Drivers may wear all their gear during weigh-in, however, no ballast may be added to the driver or kart.
- Each team must do a minimum of 3 pit stops (4 stints).
- Pit speed limit is walking speed and begins at the threshold of the covered pit building. 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, exit the kart, run around the kart 360 degrees and re-enter the kart before leaving the pits.
- No intentional bumping or blocking. A furled black flag may be pointed at a driver as a one-time courtesy warning to discontinue the behavior. Subsequent or serious infractions will result in a waived black flag.
- If you receive a waived black flag, come in to the pits on your next lap and come to a stop and await instructions from a steward. Stop-and-hold penalties do not count toward the minimum pit stops.
