The original post was to lengthen the races slightly, reduce the practice time. Good idea. Eliminating the endurance practices would be fine with me. 45 minutes I think should be about max for a solo effort. I've seen lots of riders visibly slow a significant amount the last couple laps of a 30 minute race, maybe we should make sure we're not scaring any potential entries (and the $$) off by making this too difficult. The grid at the last MW Endo was awesome, I don't see that happening for a 45 minute race, though.

The bigtime longass race could be like the "pony express" we did at Pueblo with Mark, I did it, what a hoot! The weird thing is, you can have 28 people signed up, but only have 7 bikes on the track at any given time. Also, you couldn't really work the results of this race into the year-end standings, how would the points work? It would have to be a stand-alone.

Anyway, I'm buying a new bike just to do endurance, so bring it on!
