Oh boy, My list is growing. First Joe, then Charlie and then Jim. Go ahead and poke at the Big Dog guys, but watch your mirrors.
Like Charlie said Joe, you have passed up on lots of opportunities to DQ me in the past so you can dump me any time you want to. You have earned it, my friend.
Jim, I would not remove the flapper in your neck though. This race is a 944-Spec race using some of the enduro rules. We will not be running as an enduro class regardless of what our National Champ says and if you remove it, it sounds like our regional director is in a DQ mood at the moment and with a first name of Jim, he might confuse you with me.
As for the fuel jug, Charlie has a great idea on the vent. Buying a fancy fuel jug with the long vent is expensive for one event a year. I like his idea of fabricating a large vent opening for one can since that is all you will need. I believe the rules require it to be an actual 5 gal. jug, too. Most of mine are 6 gallon type and are, specifically, not allowed by the enduro rules. Lots of guys used them last year and nothing was said. We need to ask Joe if that is OK again this year. It seems silly to make a big deal about it for one race every year, especially since we are not really enduro guys.
As for fuel load, any pit stop is a long time delay so you don't want more than the one required stop and 5 gallons should be all you need if you start with a full tank The same goes for tires. Changing tires is not worth the time since you can't change 4 tires in pit lane. I think you are restricted to changing two maximum without going back to the paddok. Also, you can't change tires while you are adding fuel, you can do a driver change only.
If you are going to only make one pit stop, you plan it late when most of the fuel is gone so the car is lighter for as long as possible. Of course, if you are going to change drivers, you may want to stop at the half way time to split up the driving.

Checking my list:woohoo:
