| John & Andy, people have been asking me about running a 3 Hour Enduro on December 2, 2006. Please let me know-in the meantime I will make a flyer for you guys to check out. This would be the week before the State Race (at our track) and would give both the local and out of town drivers more track time to get used to the layout as well as laying down more rubber for the following weekend.

| Team Mugen could probably run 3 teams, so far drivers include Art Carbonell, Ed Delgado, Chuck Moon, Phillip Abed, Andrew, Felix Law. Danny Horta was going to run with us, but there's a couple of teams that also wants him, so he decided not to run althoug he has run with Team Warrick a couple of times and has contributed to the win. We hate to miss a driver of his caliber but do respect his decision. IF HE CHANGES HIS MIND, THERE STILL A SPOT FOR HIM, WITH THE WINNINGEST TEAM IN ENDURO HISTORY (5 TIMES).

| Remember for the new drivers, need at least 3 to 4 set of tires, 1 battery pack (receiver) per 60 minutes, also keep fresh batteries in your radio, change every hour (estimated). I don't know the tire wear at that track, have an extra set available. If you run your engine on the rich side, you should make it with one. Change drivers every 20 to 30 minutes or less.

| Like the word implies "ENDURO", it's a non stop race, the winners or best teams, are the ones that had the least of problems, just run your race, stay away from the faster teams, set up a confortable pace, don't try to be the fastest, come in for refueling earlier than 5 minutes, so you don't have a "FLAMEOUT" which would make the car hard to restart, put your fastest drivers at the beginning and the end of the race, keep an eye on your tire wear, you might have to come in earlier for change, while doing tire/battery changes, don't panic, take your time, after all it's a LONG RACE. This would be a great learning lesson, since we WILL be running more ENDUROS later on.
GOOD LUCK TO THE NEW TEAMS FRO TEAM WARRICK/MUGEN and keep in mind you can always count on us during the race for help, we hold no secrets. Bottom line is to HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Pete; only 200mm gas cars, if we allow 1/8 cars there would be a masacre out on the track. There might be an Enduro for 1/8 later on. Does Miami RC has a fax # that I can send a entry form?

| 200mm, but you do not have to run a touring car body. The body type can be really cool if you want. Just check what is legal. Sefac posted it earlier.

| Next week tuesday may be too late. If not by this friday, people may not have time to get their bodies ready. Most people are using this weekend to get ready. Waitting till tuesday, means people will start gettind the bodies tuesday night or wed. The people that can not get it during the week will not get it in time. Not my case, but making a point for the other teams. Next tuesday will mean people have to get the body ready during the work week and some can not do that. Can there be a Friday deadline.

| Hello everyone,
I run a NTC3 and would ahve enjoyed to race this last weekend, but due to the fact that my driving skills suck and I did not have a team I was not able to attend the enduro. But after the state race I look forward to running with you all. I hope you have some kind of rookie class. Would not like to be disruptive to some of the more established racers.
I was a member of Royal Palm but it closed after just one practice session that I attended. Anyways see you in two weeks.

| Well the way the races are setup, the better drivers will wind up in the higher mains. The beginner/novice drivers usually will wind up together in the lower mains. So usually there's not a "beginner" class. Race directors might group the guys together similarly on local races. But chances are you'll have a ringer or two in your heats. You'll be surprised at how driving with better drivers will help make you better. The races are typically cleaner for the most part. You worry less about getting hacked my someone and focus more on your driving. The more controlled guys that are faster than you will know when and how to pass cleanly. So while you might not win much at first, driving with the better guys as often as possible will really help you progress faster. Just don't crash into em :P

| Hi Rommel,
Welcome aboard. You can run with me. I am still learning this on-road stuff myself. Don't worry, the better drivers will go around you as long as you hold your line. I have an NTC3 too. 38s and 40s seem to work for me, but I like I said, I am still learning. See you at the track.

| for those of you that want to learn a lot go this weekend and race at the state race. when I first started the state races are what helped me get better. There are four qualifiers and then the mains and it is a 2 day event. you will end up with people at your level for the mains. If you can nto race and then come and watch, especially the mains on sunday. there is nothing like watching a 20 or 30 minute race, especially when you have some of the top drivers in the country in your back yard. Not many times can you say you have seen people like Art, paolo, scotty, danny horta, dj, robert, chris tosolini, jared scott, etc. at one event so local. Hopefully everyone comes out and races there butts off.
