I'm mainly a 1/32 scale racer, but Marc (amiatanut) invited me to a special enduro race that is held every year in Hull, MA. This was a 6 hour enduro race using teeny little HO cars. Man, are these things tiny compared to 1/32 cars. My first reaction when Marc invited me was little teeny magnet rockets, but Marc ensure me that this was a non-magnet race, so I accepted. The past couple days I was 2nd guessing myself on whether I really wanted to go, but now that I have, I'm glad I did. It turned out to be a very fun event with guys from all over New England and New York, as well as one person from PA. The cars we used were BSRT G-Jets (Marc, correct me if I got this wrong), and the track we raced on was a 6 lane track made by Brad's Tracks. Simply put, these cars were really fun to race on this track. They even turned out the lights for 2 of the 6 hours, and with one little headlight, you really had to concentrate on where your car was at all times.
There were 6 teams, divided up mainly by what state you came from. And sad to say for those from NH, while we started out pretty good, in the end, we were on the bottom of the order. Yep, dead last image
Still, with about 30 racers in attendance, everyone seemed to have a great time. And we even manged to raise about $1300 for the Nuvolari Scholarship fund, so it was a successful event in that aspect as well.

Here a few pics of the track...

Close-up of the technical section. It was quite amazing how fast these cars got through here...

And the starting line-up. We had the lone white Chapparal, while all the others were GT40's. No, it wasn't because of the car's that we finished last image
You'll also notice the gold car isn't fully assembled yet. Since each car HAD to pit for 2 minutes in each hour rotation, they (CT) spent the first 2 minutes getting the car assembled before starting the racing. They finished 2nd overall.
