Endurance Road Racing??
Does anyone know of a sanctioning body that hosts endurance racing events? I didn't find anything on the SCCA or NASA websites. Thanks

They both host enduros, or at lest I KNOW that NASA does and I'd be surprised if the SCCA doesn't. Look on your local regions schedule to find out what's available near you.

SCCA has a few big ones around the country. I think they are still running the Longest Day at Nelson Ledges in Ohio, its a 24 hr race. There is a 12 hr at Homestead. I think they run a 24 at Moroso and a 12 hr at Summit Point.
There are probably some out West as well.

Since you are in Hickory - the SCCA runs the 13 hour "Charge of the Headlight Brigade" at VIR in November. The 'Goblins Go" is another enduro at VIR in October.
But what do you consider an "enduro"? Are you looking for an 8+ hour race or anything longer than a sprint?

What class is your "80"?
Lots of teams are looking for drivers (and vice versa). Check out your local SCCA forum (you're NCR, right?) or http://www.improvedtouring.com/ late in the season if you want to pick up a ride or have openings.

Cool. in the southeast, there is the IT7 subclass of ITA so you can race against other 7's. Do you know any of the SCCA folks over in the Greensboro area? There are several IT7s there.
How long have you been racing? I'm surprised that you hadn't heard of the 13-hour race at VIR, it's a fairly big event.
If it's a fresh car, I would (personally) stay away from the enduros - that is unless you have a frame machine and you like doing large amounts of body work . The issue is that there are so many different classes and speeds of cars that the frequency of "incidents" is fairly high. The shear number of Miati out there (often 1/2 the field) doesn't help matters at all.
If you do go, make sure you bring a fresh spare tranny and rear end (with all suspension brackets already welded on). Don't ask me how I know this .
Good luck,
