The third annual Louisiana 400 will be adding another 100 miles to the total traveled in 2012.
278 laps will be the magic number to complete in this years annual endurance race. To accommodate the extra time, the race will start earlier in the day in an attempt to keep the end around 10:30 pm. As in past years the racers will finish under the firework lit skies over the Circuit Grand Bayou. The purse for this years event will be stepped up as well with a guaranteed purse of over$2,000.00, doubling last years total.
Registration will be opening March 1st with a discounted entry fee. Normal registration will open May 1. RV and Camping arrangements can be made in advance as well. The starting grid is limited to the first 36 cars. Should we have more than 36 entrants at the registration cut off, two qualifying races will be held during the scheduled Friday night practice to determine the 36 cars that will start the event on Saturday. Rules for this years event will be posted on this thread. Hope to see you all there.
