Historical Enduros at TBO

Post by REAR » Fri Aug 08, 2014 5:34 pm

We have been asked by a few if historical enduro karts are able to be run at THE BIG ONE and if they would be allowed out in a separate session specicific to karts with side tanks so the possibility of damage to the tanks is minimal.

Yes, we have always allowed historical enduros to be run at TBO as long as they pass the REAR guidelines in that they are American made REAR engine design chassis' with a American fan-cooled engine running on skinny hard tires with a dry shoe clutch. All of the usual saftey tech guidelines also apply.

In order for this style of kart to have its own track sessions were hoping to have at least 5 karts with side tanks, and they will be given a very limited amount of track time per day.

Full laydown karts are not recommended for this segment.
