So can someone expand on some info for Hallet for Noobs? I have not been tot he track but planning to make it.

I heard that hotels are not near the track? Does everyone just sleep at the track?

Are there showers at the track?

Is there food near or at the track? Gas?

Is there a Friday test session?

Any other words of wisdom?

Hotels in Sand Springs - about 30 miles. resturants in Sand Springs. Gas in Hallett and a couple other very close towns.
showers at the track - indoor and outdoor. bring some shorts to shower in.
most sleep at the track. no alarm clock needed, the "chickens" will wake you.

I heard that hotels are not near the track?

They are ~10 or so miles away. But, you can hear the "Deliverance" banjos in the background.


Does everyone just sleep at the track?

It's the most convenient thing to do. Not to mention, we always have a BLAST.


Are there showers at the track?

Yep - one inside, one outside. It's not the Hyatt, but you can get clean.


Is there food near or at the track?

Finish Line Cafe open for breakfast, lunch, and (I think, although not certain) early dinner.


Gas?

Yes - after eating at the Finish Line Cafe.


Is there a Friday test session?

Call the track directly - many times, they'll do a "happy hour" pretty damn cheap. Especially if enough people are interested.


Any other words of wisdom?

Go in the spirit of having a great time.

I35 N to the 44 E to the 99 N. The track will be on your left side before you hit the 412, IIRC.

WHAT CAUSES SHORT-LEGGED CATS?


It is impossible to say for sure which of several possible mutatin the eary "Kangaroo cats" actually had. The term "foreleg micromelia" suggests a mild form of the usually crippling condition Radial Hypoplasia (Polydactyl Cats), but the description of their smooth ferret-like gait and the apparent absence of extra toes does not support this diagnosis. They probably had one of the many forms of dwarfism that occurs in mammals. In contrast, modern Munchkins have "foreleg and hindleg micromelia".

The most common (and easily recognisable) short-limbed condition is achondroplasia dwarfism which shortens the long bones of the limbs while leaving the trunk (body) and head unchanged.. Achondroplasia dwarfism is characterised by abnormal body proportions. Achondroplasia dwarfism is the result of a dominant gene affecting the hormones which control bone growth. Typically, the growth of the limbs is stunted, while the size of the trunk and mental capacity are normal. It causes abnormally short and deformed limbs; this is most noticeable in short-legged dog breeds where the limbs are bowed or twisted. It also typically produces a large head with undershot (bulldog) jaw and crowded, misaligned teeth. Other cranial problems may occur due to the abnormal head shape. The limbs are frequently bowed which may result in poorly articulating joints. The vertebrae may also be affected. Although most affected cats are mentally normal, their abnormal body proportions may result in slow development in early kittenhood. The large head may result in kittens being delivered by caesarian section as they are unable to pass through the birth canal. Stuck kittens are likely to die and would likely cause the mother to die.

In the Munchkin; these short limbs are the distinguishing feature of the breed and the other deformities associated with achondroplasia are avoided (as far as possible) by careful selective breeding, avoiding breeding those individuals which have spine or chest deformities. Achondroplasia is typically associated with a large or abnormal head, but Munchkins do not have this trait, suggesting a different condition that mimics achondroplasia, most likely pseudochondroplasia.

Achondroplasia also occurs at random in the feline population due to mutation. It is a variable condition ranging from "nearly normal" to crippling with all legs severely deformed. The forelegs are usually more severely affected than the hindlegs. In animals this form of dwarfism ranges from mildly disabling to crippling if only one copy of the gene is inherited. If two copies of the gene are inherited, the trait is lethal and the embryos are either reabsorbed early on in pregnancy (this is the case with cats) or stillborn.

There are almost certainly other dwarf conditions in cats, although they may not have not been identified as distinct from the Munchkin mutation. Acromesomelia (acromesomelic dysplasia) is characterized by short arms, legs, and fingers, and a slightly enlarged head. Hypochondroplasia looks like mild achondroplasia, but is genetically different. Its effects are less pronounced and there are fewer associated health problems. In species where dwarfism is poorly documented, it is often misdiagnosed as achondroplasia. Pseudoachondroplasia also mimics achondroplasia, but leaves the head size and facial features unaffected and is associated with osteoarthritis and other orthopaedic problems.

If someone can get sound and video out of a player into the projector, I can make sure they hear it down in bus stop. I even have a portable DVD player I can bring if the projector will take the yellow analog video input.

Covered spot is $150/whole, $75/half.


The covered spots are two cars wide and two cars deep. Sharing works fine but I tend to think that four cars in one spot gets pretty crowded. I've found that three cars sharing a covered spot leaves room for stuff and a picnic table in the shade. It also gives one car a bit more elbow room if it needs to be worked on extensively.

The covered spots also go pretty quickly. If you want one, you should try sooner rather than later. If you aren't in a covered spot, you are in the gravel/grass...

I just got off the phone with Connie and all the regular spots like Frank got are gone (at least in the area she is putting all the AI/CMC guys in). She had a very large covered garage that is usually used for tech that has walls on two sides and she said it is very nice because of the wind blowing through. The problem is that it is $200.00 instead of $150.00. I took it and right now I have Jeff W. James P. Gary R. and myself at $50.00 each. That is one more than I wanted but I really don't want to pay more than $50.00 for a space. What do you guys think?

Jerry, if it's the "tech" garage I am thinking of, two cars will fit and that's it...maybe 3 end to end with ZERO space between bumpers. MRT uses it for tech at the Mid America meets...

<---Glad Frank was more on the ball than I was! ;)

this also makes me wonder where tech is going to be for NASA??? I had issues with ground clearance at my OLD ride height everywhere at hallet...

I just got off the phone with Connie and all the regular spots like Frank got are gone (at least in the area she is putting all the AI/CMC guys in). She had a very large covered garage that is usually used for tech that has walls on two sides and she said it is very nice because of the wind blowing through. The problem is that it is $200.00 instead of $150.00. I took it and right now I have Jeff W. James P. Gary R. and myself at $50.00 each. That is one more than I wanted but I really don't want to pay more than $50.00 for a space. What do you guys think?

I just talked to Wayne and he said this spot is very large and should not be a problem for four cars. Wayne said they have put six in this spot in the past. Four is enough for me.

I have one of those 'covered parking' asphalt spots reserved, I suppose its a half. - across from the garages/restrooms
I won't be using it.
If someone decides to take it, go ahead. after you talk to them, let me know.

Jerry... you make the call. I have only been to Hallett once and that was several years ago, so I don't remember the facilities that well.

I agree that about $50 is my limit.

Just so you know ...

I think the covered area you described is either at the end of the grid area or next to the exit of the grid as you come off track.

That is quite a trek from the rest of the world.

There are enclosed garages just across the compound from the awnings. It would be closer. But they are single car units as I recall.

James ... has it been that long ago for you?

I would miss a Cresson event in order to go all the way to Hallett. I love that place. I suck at driving it, but I still really like it.

She said it was close to where she has the other CMC/AI guys. She did say it was close to the grid as well. Hell I have never been there so I hope I am not screwing up.

Jerry, it sounds like the one next to grid/track exit. It's along the south side of the entrance road and maybe 100 yards from the other covered awnings. It's really close Chez How-let.

Yer gonna love this place ...

No Glenn ... you are referring to the "garage" that Skip and company had which is on the opposite side of kid's playground.

Across the entrance road from that is a large covered awning, similar to the ones that line the back straight.

Then it is the one that Glenn referenced and not an open awning. In Matt's awesome illustration, I was referring "Jerry's Place".

IIRC, the garage has compressed air piped in ... or maybe Skip and Scott brought a compressor

And there is yet another covered awning not shown in that pic way to the left. It was where impound was at the last NASA visit.

If the one you were talking about is not the one I got, can you show me on Matt's pic where the one Glenn was talking about is?

#13 is all set up and ready from not racing at TWS. I did get to drive it in a field, I just didnt get to race. pretty normal I guess.
Just need to change the spring rates, ride heights, rebound and compression. Oh yeah and my aero needs to come off for some short track fun.

I35 N to the 44 E to the 99 N. The track will be on your left side before you hit the 412, IIRC.

Is 44 a toll road? Just want to have my load of pennies ready if so.

They do charge per axle, but, IIRC, the total cost is ~$4 or $5.
