Default Going to Hallett, OK

My girlfreind got me a one year membership to Hallett raceway here in Oklahoma, plus everything I need for one of the touring races they run each month. I know its a slight, but if anyone has been there or even ran on the touring series one weekend. I would love to hear your opinion on the experiance and tell me what to expect

Been to Hallett a few times. It's a great track ... flows well. It has it's set of challenges, but it's a great group of folks that run the place. The Stephen's Brothers are a lot of fun and make your weekend a lot of fun.

I'll be out there racing with NASA on the 16, 17 and 18 of June competing in the Camaro/Mustang Challenge.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. And, please, if you can, come on out and hang around Saturday and Saturday evening. It's a great bunch of racers and a lot of fun.

I will be driving the #9 white '96 Firebird.

i've been there a few times, it's a great track and very fun. My best time is 1:41 with a stock '02 SS and My 250+lb mom screaming in the passenger seat. See if you can beat it.

My CMC Firebird qualified at 1:30.749 in June on a spec 16" Toyo tire. Results are posted at www.mylaps.com.

CMC rules limit HP to 230 at the wheels and have a minimum weight of 3200 lbs. My car is an obese 3310.

So this illustrates perfectly how much of an impact weight has on a car. The 02 has close to 100 hp on my car and is probably only 300 lbs heavier.

yeah, i think i could be better but i heard, just as a general rule, 100lbs effects 1/4 mile times by one tenth. So that track being 1.8 miles long, and weight effecting cornering and brakeing as well as accelleration, Weight definately effects your car alot. Those still sound like great times though. Also my car stock should weigh about 3800lbs + me(160lbs maybe) + my mom (250lbs) = about 4210lbs, 900lbs more including people in my car.

I had 1 recon lap and 3 timed. My second lap, first time at the track was a 1:34. Then the afternoon session they switched direction and ran a 1:36 Clockwise. Not bad for having NO lap ever at this track.

Passenger are cool. I like when they start grabbing for the Brake pedal when you are going into a corner they dont think you are going to make.

For what it's worth ... I absolutely suck in T5.

I am giving away minutes of time there. I get cars underneath me into T6 all the time.

I've tried entering slower, loosening the car, changing pressures, different lines, easing on the throttle ... same result each time.

Mitch I think we are in a new club, WE suck at turn 5. That's really a wierd corner I didnt have much time to get it right. I guess a really late turn in and late apex might help. I always ran wide, which pushed me track left and screwed me up for entry into 6.

I went back and looked at the top finishers from 04 OLOA and the winning time averaged with a standing start 1:25. SO I would say a 1:21-1:22 fast lap. On Street tire of UTG 140 Or Higher.
