I found this link on corner carvers and thought I'd share. This looks to be some form of "beater challenge", or "GRM 2006 challenge run amok".

Any takers?

Ummm, nevermind.

Mike Borders (MKM guy) was talking about this and hyping it. Left me cold. I hope it gets ZERO press. 8hours driving - 8 hours drinking-8hours driving will get an ugly spin in the press.

I missed that part. Maybe I need to go read it again......

I'm not sure that's exactly the objective. Although I'm not sure that the folks putting it on are sure of the objective either. A friend called and talked to the event organizer. It seems that it's not intended to be a true endurance race, but they are stressing safety gear, which is somewhat reassuring. And I don't think they are going to let drivers out there drunk. My take is that it's a semi-serious semi-endurance race where everyone takes a break in the middle to have a couple beers, get some sleep, then do some more driving. A serious team can take the time to look over their car, but there doesn't seem to be any reward for doing so. It's the inaugural event, so I suspect they aren't sure how it's going to go down.

Jason,

Listening to te discussion of the event at Bonneville, the 8 hour party section was every much a measure of endurance as the race portion.
