The Enduro go-kart race illustrates well the technical aspect of this college. The students involved — mechanics, pit crews, and drivers — work hard during and before the race. Many of them have the chance to apply what they have learned in their classes to this exciting activity. The race is aptly named the ‘‘Enduro”’ for the Kart that wins is not necessarily the fastest; it is the one that survives the six hour race the longest, accumulating the most laps. The wear and tear of the track this year was enough to put a few of the thirteen karts in the ‘‘pits’’ for over half the race. The Enduro, which was again sponsored by the Automotive Society, went very smoothly. The day was clear and cool, perfect for a race, except for the wind. Last year’s Enduro was postponed because of rain, but the good weather persisted this time and many students, faculty, and campus previewers were able to watch the race. The winning kart earned points which were added to those gained in the earlier two sprints. This point system was used to determine the best kart of the year. a — oan Bee a Kart 41 of Dorm 41 driven by Randy Plants won the Enduro with 220 laps.
