Hey Guys…below is a copy of my email I sent out to the group last night…it has some details about the “petite” enduro. There may be some slight changes in the rules between now and the race, but the main rules are pretty much set.
Our first Thunderhill event of the season is coming up soon! Remember we are planning the SE30 racers, friends and family social and BBQ Saturday night. Brad McClure is organizing it and has a spreadsheet link where you can fill in what you would like to bring food/drink wise and how many will be there. Here’s the link:

Paddock Location
Note our new paddock spot for this event. All the SpecE30s are in our own designated spot just south of Tech. There should be plenty of space. There will be a group of SE30 racers at the Friday’s trackmaster’s event and they will set up and get our paddock spot organized. We want all the SE30s racing to paddock there!

Sunday 1-Hour SE30 and SM Petite Enduro
NASA is throwing a little fun our way this weekend with a 1-hour “petite enduro” for SE30’s and Spec Miatas in lieu of the usual 30-minute sprint race. The preliminary rule set for the enduro follows and is subject to change before the event. NASA will also review the rules at our driver’s meeting.
- The HOT pit lane will remain clear at all times, except as indicated below.
- There is a 25 mph speed limit in the pit lane.
- No fuel allowed in pit lane.
- No one under 18 in the pit lane without prior written approval from Jerry Kunzman.
- Each driver will be required to make one stop to “change drivers.” Teammates may change or keep the same driver. Single entry drivers will drive both stints. During the driver-change stop, the driver must exit the car and place a NASA-supplied decal on the outside of the windshield, on the top corner of the passenger side. After placing the decal the driver may get back in the car and take the track. Or, the driver, if part of a team, may go over the pit wall to the COLD pits and the teammate may take over driving duties.
- Additional pit stops may be made for repairs, or any other reason, but it must be done in the paddock. No one over the pit wall during the race, for any reason, except the driver OR driver’s teammate (not both at the same time).
- The required stop must take place between the green and checkered flags.
- Cars do not have to be running during the checkered lap to be scored. This will be scored like any other race.
- Weight for compliance checking will be the class-listed weight, less 35 lbs. All drivers/ teams should adjust accordingly.
- Any driver found to have left the pits without all the proper safety equipment in place will be suspended from NASA for no less than one year.
- These supplemental rules only apply to the 1-hour race on April 17th, 2011.
- Additional rules may apply that are presented at the driver’s meeting.
I’ll send out any updates to this rule set as they become available.
Cheers,
Scott
