Ernie, the more rules the more this will become complicated, real fast. You don't need V8s, keep it quiet, keep it simple, and where are you going to get cars for under $500 bucks? Imports and little trucks can be had quite cheap. Keep the weight low and the track relatively slow. This makes it fun and safe and reasonably quiet. The V8s already have the enduro class. My idea is for junk cars to come and have fun and not piss off the neighbours or kill anybody. Simple roll bars and safety equipment required.
Take a Corolla for instance it weighs 1950lbs. sitting at the curb now gut that out and you have pretty light package, Monte Carlo comes in at 3200lbs curb weight, pretty heavy I'd say. you factor the lbs per horsepower and the small cars are going to be way more zippy and with way less mass. This would fast and fun for cheap and pretty darn safe to boot. Anyway I'm just spit ballin and trying to figure out how to get all those rusty Neons off the road!! ;D

JWO is right you use the KISS rule which means keep it simple stupid ......simple basic rules to start roll cage lights and any basic street car to be judged in it's own class it would be a knockout to have the finish at the start of a regular race program something like the torch at the olympics with the music to go with it
I hear you JWO and can see your point. Maybe two events then? Just sayin there can be fun here for all. I would even consider this. Buy an as you say a junk car and have at er. Basically a one use kinda deal.

Just for fun a little pool I was in. We took a Volkswagon Rabitt jamed the accelerator to the floor and had tickets on how long it would last ( Great fund raiser 50/50)
You could have you own to start your association funding. That motor suffered an agnotizing
death it's last breath at about 28 minutes everyone of them in tensifying with your ticket in your hand.
Another thing How much fuel are going to burn with running 12 hours? with a 350 chev 😮 That alone would kill the whole idea! Keep the engines small and promote as "Green" racing ;D . Not that we like green or anything 😉
