This Sunday 8th March sees the Sudbury Motor Cycle Club’s annual Endurothon being staged at Foxborough Quarry, Sible Hedingham, Essex. This is a nonstop six hour event with a Le Man type start with the competitors running to their machines. With the Championship Class Teams starting first at 9 am; they will be followed by the Expert Class then the Clubman Class and Sportsman Class. After this the Ironman (Solos) Class starts and they have to complete the full six hours all by themselves.
It will be the usual method of lap scoring however another system will be used along this which will be transponder based. Each rider will have a wrist band and at the end of each lap they will swipe this against a receiver which sends a signal to the computer to record their progress. This system was tried out last Sunday and proved successful and it is the intention of the Club to invest into more equipment.
