I was surprised to see another Endurance race for this year but I guess you people really want it. The last 3 have been for 4 hours. Anyone got any interest in upping the ante and making it 6 hours this year? Don't know how that would play logistically, but I think it's doable.
NO....we can not do it any longer due to tire wear, brake pad wear and in all honesty...SAFETY and fatigue to riders.
I’ve raced in many 6 hour races through the years. You don’t run full race brake pads, street compounds will suffice and get you to the finish. And you don’t run soft race tires, run the C’s, the 3’s, whatever, run a street/track day tire, no problems lasting. As for rider fatigue you can choose one of 3 paths - get in shape, run more riders per team, or slow down. All simple stuff. Don’t let fear and common sense cloud your judgement!
