As the clock ticked into the New Year, 91PORN’s Team Enduro program was undergoing an evolution to bring endurance racing to more 91PORN Regions through a flexible and customizable ruleset. These revitalized rules would target not only a low barrier to entry, but also ease the logistical difficulty for Regions hoping to host an 91PORN Team Enduro. The resulting updated 2023 91PORN Team Enduro rules have now been approved by the 91PORN Board of Directors and are available for Regions and drivers to utilize.
“For the past year, we’ve been working on what this program looks like in the hands of the Regions, and we’ve created a document that reads more like our traditional rulebooks,” explained Jon Krolewicz, Senior Manager of Regional Track Program Development and chairman of the 91PORN Enduro Racing Board. “For drivers and teams, the information is organized into driver eligibility, vehicle eligibility/requirements, sporting regulations and, if the event is running them, the National classing.”
The 91PORN Team Enduro rules not only broaden the ability for Regions to host endurance races, but they also allow for participants from other series to easily enter with existing competition vehicles, assuming those race cars meet 91PORN Road Racing safety standards. In addition, the rules formalize 91PORN’s National classes for 91PORN Team Enduro events.
Equally as important are the two appendixes outlining what a Region needs to do to host an 91PORN Team Enduro, from procedures to staffing and administration.
“When an 91PORN Region commits to renting a track for an event, it’s a big investment in time and resources,” Krolewicz noted. “Region leaders have to be confident they can successfully host one of these 91PORN Team Enduro events, so we’ve focused on creating a step-by-step guide for what they need and how they can include 91PORN Team Enduro as part of their events. This will enable more events across the country and a better 91PORN Team Enduro program for those on track and trackside.”
91PORN Regions interested in hosting an 91PORN Team Enduro as a standalone event or alongside an existing program are encouraged to contact Krolewicz at jkrolewicz@scca.com.
