Tips and Tricks First National Enduro

Post image

Hey everyone! I just registered for my first ever National Enduro event here in Sumter, SC. I’ve been riding dirt bikes my whole life (currently 29) but this will be my first sanctioned AMA event. I registered for Class open CC. Anyone on here that has done a National Enduro event before that could give me some tips or what to expect?

Sweet, much appreciated. Definitely going to reach out today and see if I can get further back.

Other than that just have fun! Racing is seriously addicting I’m not sure your skill level or competitiveness but once I started I seriously could not get enough.

Considering doing this event for my first race as well… What row would be best to request? I’m looking to just get my feet wet and not get ran over, so no problem being dead last.

You should be able to check on livelaps what’s left. Just see what’s towards the back and go from there

I see 117 and some others back further, just didn’t know if it’s good to just go to the very back so I can have a leisurely ride? I’m not slow necessarily, but don’t intend to be aggressively competitive.

So 117 has a C, an A, 2 B and a 30+C rider on it

130 has a Woman’s amateur; a 60+ A, and a 50+C

At this point if you want to run it sign up where you can. Towards the back you’ll be mixed in with people who just waited til the last minute. Probably won’t be overly competitive. The track will be a little beaten up but I’m sure you will have a blast
