...personally, I think the most unsafe racing thing I do every year is drive home from Spokane...
'cause Holly's right, a double- entry double- race weekend is a lot of work.
I actually (mildly) disagree with 'safety' as a criteria for the maximum length of stint-
I think it comes under the heading 'rules of the game'. So when you figure out how
the game works, and how you're going to play it
(usually with the goal of winning,
but there are a LOT of us who think FINISHING is a mighty goal, and more who think
HAVING A BLAST is even better)
you get to factor in driver stints, fuel load, fuel loading rate, and so forth.
So a 2 hour stint in a 6 hour race seems reasonable, but
a 4- hour stint in a 12 hour race doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Not that I'd ever
attempt it in my current fatuous condition...
heh.
