"Our Enduros attract all kinds," relates (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell-Jones, " drivers with no experience ... some that have run this type of event before and even some of our regular Saturday Night competitors ... but in the end ... it's more survival than experience that counts."
The Ballhockey.com Enduro Qualifying Series accelerated by Niagara College breaks it all down as it speeds through 2014 and blows your mind with a high octane blast of hard turns and twisted metal. Enduro Racing is part SCIENCE, part STUNT, part INFO-TAINMENT and always 100% ADRENALINE and OUTRAGEOUS FUN.
Now's the time to push up your sleeves ... get your hands dirty as cars will be jacked up, busted apart and pushed to their limits and beyond.

"It's pretty basic," adds Bicknell-Jones, " it's a street car with safety modifications – everything else is stock as you found it ... an Enduro car is not a race car – it's a car that races." Depending on what happens in any of the qualifiers, a competitor could use the same car in more than one event.
