About this event
The 2nd Annual Copperstate 12-Hour Enduro - The Podium Club at Attesa.
If you have never done an endurance race before, don't be afraid of doing it. It's, by far, the fastest-growing segment in amateur racing for a reason. It's fun and straightforward, and the costs are spread over many people.
The cars: Any fendered race car that can run in another race series is most likely eligible here. We class the cars based on power to weight ratio. If you have a spec Miata, bring it. If you have a GT-1 Corvette, bring it. The duration of the race, along with the classing system, really evens the playing field. Our major requirement is current safety equipment per SCCA standards.
Licenses: Any sanctioning body competition license is acceptable under our enduro rule set. NASA, ASA, Pro Autosports, IMSA, and SCCA licenses are accepted. No license but have track experience? Don't hesitate to contact us, and we can get you in.
Pit stops & Pit Crew: We have 10-minute pit stops so that nobody is in a rush, and there is no advantage to a well-monied team with a dry break fuel system and professional crew. Please bring your friends and have them in driver's suits and helmets when fueling.
Tires: Tire choice is at your discretion. You can run slicks, street tires, or anything in between. Our experience is that 200-tread wear street tires are the best, and some cars/brands will last the entire 12 hours.
Fuel: Bring your own. Make sure you have enough for the duration of the race. Bring a barrel or lots of jugs. Stints are typically two hours.
In-car radios: Nice to have but not necessary. Simple pit boards work, too, just like the old days.
My car isn't current on its safety inspection or has no SCCA inspection. No problem. Let us know, and we will work with you ahead of time or at the track on Friday.
I'm not familiar with the track. Have a look at the attached video. It will give you some perspective. This is Arizona's newest track and is located between Phoenix and Tucson. It's conveniently located near infrastructure like fuel, hotels, restaurants and two interstates.
Need a practice day? The track is sponsoring one on Friday. Sign up on Motorsportsreg. (TBD)
