VARA runs a 2-hour (or 4 hour, I can't remember which) vintage night
enduro at Willow Springs each 4th of July weekend. They do a modified
LeMans start (crewman or second driver must run across and tap driver
before driver can start) and a single, mandatory 10 minute pit stop
(amateurs refuling in a hurry leads to crispy vintage racers).
