ENDURO RULES
1. Enduro is open to any private passenger vehicle, maximum 3.4 lt engine. No performance engines, including HO and quad overhead cam engines. Small pickups are included but no minivans. Remember, the smaller the engine, the less gas you will burn.

Seriously, if there is a real problem come and talk to us. We want everyone to have fun and to want to do this again. Keep it slow in the pits.
