BEAC will be conducting Event #8 in the 2013 WWSCC Championship Series, the Enduro, on Saturday August 3rd at Shelton. Non-Stock groups will run in the morning, Stock will run in the afternoon. Novice and Time-only groups will be available in both halves of the day and will be distributed as needed to balance run/work group sizes.
Enduro is a unique event, where you take a practice lap and then go right into 3 consecutive laps at speed, each of which counts as a competition run. It’s a chance to see what it’s like to drive hard for 3-4 continuous minutes instead of less than one. It’s a different and exciting kind of challenge that requires you to be sure you get plenty of walk-throughs to know the course route.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR B.E.A.C. ENDURO
1) This is a consecutive-laps event. The driver will leave the starting line once (just “downstream” from the timing Start/Finish line), take a practice lap, and then continue and take 3 more laps. Each of the 3 official laps will be individually timed and scored.
2) If a driver hits too many cones or misses too much of the course on the practice lap, he/she may be red-flagged and re-started at the RESTART position, thus losing the "flying start" on the first/next timed lap.
3) Competitors are (as always) responsible for knowing the correct course route. If a driver gets seriously lost on the practice and/or first timed lap, he/she may be red-flagged so workers can tell them what they're missing, and they'll then be re-started at the RESTART position. This is at BEAC's discretion. This event is not recommended for first-time autocrossers or those with just an event or two under their belts.
4) The competitor is also ultimately responsible for knowing what lap he/she is on, and knowing when to exit. If a driver takes too many “official” laps, and it's not the fault of the worker turning the Go Again / Exit (or other designated) indicator, the 3rd official lap will be scored as a DNF.
5) Passengers are not permitted except in extreme cases of being lost on course (when an instructor may accompany a “lost” driver to show them where to go), as provided by the WWSCC rules.
6) Grid will be in rows of fixed locations (“parking stalls”), and cars will generally be called from front of Grid to back; drivers should keep track of when their turn is, according to the defined sequence. The first driver in multiple-driver cars will normally be called to the Start early in the heat.
7) All cars for a given heat must be in an appropriate Grid location before that heat begins running.
8) A driver may take the practice lap as slowly or as quickly as desired, though there may be another car on course, finishing its 3rd timed lap, coming up behind the starting car so it’s best not to dawdle too much.
