24 HOUR RACE IN ARIZONA!

Arizona Off Road Promotions is thinking about hosting a 24 hour Race next year in Arizona. I wanted to get some feedback as to who would do it. Cost would be around 500.00 per team up to six person team, you can use 2 bikes.

Scheduling would be the tricky part..... We race the AMRA state series and SCORE with a BITD race or two sprinkled in.

If the date fits we are in! $200 entry for the ironman catagory???

Should look at the HYR Endurance series @ Glen Helen and how they run theirs.... More than two bikes is too much. Bring the other two for SPARES as they will get raped! Two bikes can prepare you nicely, one for the day & the other prepped for night racing. Have an impound, 4-6 riders per team, 8-9 mile enduro/G.P/MX loop, Ironman, Pro, Business, Lightwt/Hvywt, etc... Very fun race to run. Good luck!

Or could do it like the old 24 hr Le fud and one bike. Must start and finish with same frame and bottom end. I raced two of them and what a blast.

Getting people to show up for a race around here is difficult, we need to ease the cost of entry not make it higher. I can't think of anyone that wants to volunteer their machine for 12 hours of abuse and wear and tear unless it is for Baja....let alone 24 hours of abuse. Getting someone to put 4-6 hours of wear and tear on their machine is a lot easier to sell.

Set up a sponsorship proposal/race budget for the entire team & make sure it includes replacement parts for the specific race bikes after the race (tires, brake pads, clutch, oil, top-end, valve adjust, etc.). We did it for the HYR 24hr and after all was said and done, the two race bikes had many new parts & extra goodies in the end. We raced it as a fundraiser in the business class and our goal was to finish...if it matters. My $.02.

Never thought of it that way. We always just all threw in enough money to rebuild the bike before and after the race. The first fud 24hr we did was on a new yz250. We went through two top ends. Two pipes and finally the bottom end gave away. The next one we did was with help from bombardier and we did a ds 650 and lost to duncan racing on the kfx700. I think that was the last bike one he ever did. Those were some fun races. I see your point of doing more than one bike.
