*www.formulakart.com 4-Hour Endurance Event results:
This event was the first of its kind in Florida. It was used to formulate a format for running several of these types of events in Florida in 2004. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the 16 teams who took part, and made this event a huge success. Our goal was to learn how to run this type of event, and the team’s efforts, along with some help from lady luck and mother nature, gave us the opportunity to encounter just about any foreseeable situation, and therefore learn how to deal with them in the most effective way. I am sure that we now have the information we need to make these events even more enjoyable and fair, and look forward to organizing 3-4 of these events in 2004.
