SCCA Bracket Enduro - Hallett - Jul 30-31
The SCCA is now offering Bracket Enduros in our neck of the woods. It's the SCCA's new take on budget endurance road racing (a la WRL/Chump/LeMons). Bring a production-based racecar along those lines and some friends, and go wheel-to-wheel racing.
More info:

There will be a SCCA Bracket Enduro at Hallett west of Tulsa on the weekend of July 30-31, 2016. Three hours of wheel-to-wheel racing on Saturday afternoon, and three hours on Sunday morning, with a Saturday morning test-and-tune.
https://www.scca.com/pages/2016-hallet-bracket-enduro
What you need:
- $385 per team entry fee
- At least two drivers
- Racecar (no faster than a typical LeChump car or IT-prepped E36/Mustang/RX-8-esq thingy)
- Regular racing safety equipment, including head/neck
What you don't need:
- ClubRacing competition license
- SCCA membership - weekend memberships OK
- SCCA logbook for the racecar - car just has to pass a tech inspection
The entry fee is pretty cheap for the seat time, and it doesn't require quite the time or consumables commitment of a 12-24 hour race. Since there's a sort of bracket-racing element to the lap times, you can run a 90-95% endurance pace rather than a sprint race. Or maybe have slower novice drivers be balanced out by the faster teammates. Seems like a low-pressure way to get some fun seat time, and Hallett is one of the most entertaining tracks in the area.

Not having a caged racecar is my number one hurdle at the moment.

I bet you could haul it off for $500. Too bad I'd spend more than that in gas towing it home. Then that amount again for a racing seat, double for rebuilding the engine and floor pans. Then a few grand more on cage updates, deferred maintenance, tires...SilverYota wrote:Problem solved (cheaply) after you buy this http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/5540733482.html.

But hey, it's not that often that could you find a legit LeMons/Chump-legal car with a SCCA logbook and cage already installed. Race it with SCCA and everyone else.

Here's an ITA-prepped Neon with a good cage for $5k in St. Louis:
1995 Dodge Neon 4dr - $5000 (St. Louis)
http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/5542693793.html

But could the car last a six-hour enduro without the front wheels falling off? Kidding, but kinda not kidding.

Oh, I've thought about it. I have all the gear, and a truck and trailer.
Just missing the iron chef ingredient: racing car.
