Ok, less than a month away for the next round.
1) Will there be a Friday track day for Hallet? I've never seen the track and would like to run around up there before the start of Round5
2) Garages? How many are intending to get garages? what is the setup like? can 3 cars split a two garage bay? electricity available? garage setup, etc?
3) will there be a single 40 minute race on Sunday or will we (can we?) go back to the 4x20 event?
There typically is a TnT day on Friday before the weekend. Call the track and ask Scott what the plan is.
I have already snagged race port 17/18 for the weekend for $150. Call early to reserve a half ... 3 cars means 2 will park nose to tail. There is power and the showers don't get turned on until 6am.
I like the 40 minute races ... but I'm easy and will go along with everyone else.
Morgan -
1. Contact Hallett to see if they'll make the track available for Friday practice. They did in 2004, and 2005.
2. There is more than one type of garage at Hallett - an actual garage, that can accomodate one car, a large 4-6 car garage ( 2 of those, IIRC ), plus 6-8 car ports that can accomodate 4 cars ( 4 is tight, 2 is better ). ALL of the garages have 110vac, and lights. $150 for the entire garage, $75 for half, $37.50 for 1/4. Mitch has already gotten one....and so have I. ;)
3. We have yet to discuss the race format with NASA. Our initial thoughts are to run the 4x20 schedule. The nicest thing about a 40min race on Sunday is how early we get out. However, weather could be tough this time of year in OK.
For me personally, I like the 40min races. However, I'm good with either format.
Twalk amoungst ya selves about the format.
Though I'm probably the biggest advocate of longer races, 40 min in the June heat at HMRC will be a BIG challenge.Quote:

1. HMRC has an event already scheduled that Friday. However, that group should be clearing out by ~4pm.
2. They are looking at doing a late evening deal for us - from about 5-8pm Friday. We'll have sunlight until nearly 9pm. This will allow us to travel there during the day Friday, and spend about 3 hours practicing.
3. Costs should come in around ~$40-$50 per.
4. Minimum of 15 cars ( I doubt that will be a problem! ).
Scott w/Hallett will know about 1-2 weeks prior to our event if it's a GO for the 16th. I'll keep you all posted.
Yee-f'n-haw!Quote:

Sweetness, I'll be in for the practice session.
Thanks for checking Adam!!
No doubt. good deal, Adam.
Do you think you could give Scott's phone number to the person who set's the pricing schedule at MSR-H?
Any doubt why we all love Hallett?? ;)Quote:

Just a scholar that learns from the best.
Stiff front, soft rear, old hard tires with innumerable heat cycles.
Easy on the brakes, alotta trail brake entering, hold the speed up at the center, in the gas as early as you have sack to.
When in doubt use a taller gear.
Use all the track.
Simple fun.

Camp at the track. You simply can't miss Hallett's version of reveille. :)Quote:

Anyone want to share a 2 holer with me? Hell we stuffed 4 Cobras per garage a couple years ago.
Boudy
If you've still got space, I'm up for sharing one of those covered paddock things just past the bitch if that's what you're referring to when you use the term "two holer" which could mean a lot of things that I'm not sure I want to share with anyone... :eek:Quote:

I'm stayin' away from that 2 holer comment. :roll: :roll:
Boudy
Cool, count me in for the second of the two available holes if you get it.Quote:
