WebbRacing.com Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Is the Sunday morning warm-up the only pre-race track time for enduro cars/drivers this weekend, or will enduro cars be able to join one of the race groups for Saturday's warm-up and/or qualifying?

Karen Salvaggio Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Sunday morning warm-up is the only time alotted for enduro practice. To determine the grid, I believe they will use one of the alternative methods (random, pea pick, etc.) rather than a normal qualifying session. I will post as soon as I confirm. Thanks!

Karen Salvaggio Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Western Endurance Racing Championship Series Round One Results February 10, 2013 Seventeen(17) endurance racing teams took to the track for the 2013 WERC season opener held at Sonoma Raceway on February 10, 2013. The weather was clear and a crisp 35 degrees when the green flag fell. Great racing among all of the classes, with more than one team fielding all new cars for this year's endurance racing series. As has become the hallmark of the Series, drivers and crew again performed flawlessly both on track and in the pits, with virtually no incidents or pit penalties in the 2-hour race. Congratulations to our winners and podium finishers, and big hats off to these "Can do!" enduro teams for their preparedness and dedication in fielding cars in the earliest date the WERC has ever seen for a regularly scheduled race. The final results at the checkered flag: ESR Class 1st: Team Ron Cortez 2nd: Team Competitive Edge ES Class 1st: Team Prototype Development Group 2nd: Team Life's Good Racing 3rd: Team Austin Thomas EO Class 1st: Team Navid Kahangi 2nd: Team El Diablo Motorsports 3rd: Team Fred Emich E2 Class 1st: Team Mansour 2nd: Team Brown/Hyer 3rd: Team Silverfern E3 Class 1st: Team Gordon Jennings 2nd: Team Andrew Kidd 3rd: Team William Chen Full race results: http://www.mylaps.com/results/showrun.jsp?id=2566941&perclass=1 Next WERC Event: Round 2, 3-Hour day/night enduro, Buttonwillow Raceway Park, April 6, 2013 Register here: http://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1608 See you at the track!

Karen Salvaggio Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 El Diablo finished 2nd?! That E36 was ridiculous @ the 25. Great race, and El Diablo was just 26 seconds back at the finish..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
