I'm signed up Glenn, changed my color to black.

Guys, apparently there's a pretty low car count overall, so we really need to get NASA some accurate numbers. Please sign up if you havent done so yet and let us know.

Well in that case YES, Im in...

[David Love AI27]

Up in the air...

[Rob Liebbe]

On the list and definitely in.

[ShadowBolt]

I talked to Robert Boudreaux last night and he is working on his car. It will be close but he's trying to make it. I also thought Chuck Penny was going to make it. Corey Rueth just purchased tires so I assume he is going to make it also.
There is a way to sign up at the last minute and not pay extra and I know several use this method but I wil not say how it's done. I don't want to blow the deal for them.

JJ

[RagingAardvark]

yes from 3CatsRacing...we're gettting registered today from RM.

[rpoz27]

Testing both Cain cars tonight. Will sign up this evening. I will be AIX due to lack of motivation to get a dyno.

[Fbody383]

Even though I'm on both lists...

YES i'll be there.

Set up to dyno the car tomorrow to stave off any protests for my upcoming, outstanding, podium resulting performance.

[Alien]

Lucky you, I didn't make either list <kicks dirt>

NO, havn't registered, but YES I should be there

Will be registering tonight now that Knocker is back in my possession. Just got the car back from the shop. Drove it fine onto the trailer, get home, won't run now and had to push it back into the garage. Hope to get it resolved this weekend.

[GlennCMC70]

31 cars in Group 4 at this point. :P

[Den34]

Three fourths of the entire Midwest CMC region is registered and will be there.
Translation
That is Bryan White, Sidney Franklin and myself ( Bob Denton)
Looking forward to it. Looks like it will be this years "Nationals" for all practical purposes.

See you there!

[BryanL]

Just curious, is the turnout so low it could be canceled? I'm not surprised since it is such a haul for anyone in Texas and especially for anyone south of DFW.
Also, makes me curious how much a track rental is with course workers in case we ever wanted to have a AICMC weekend somewhere. We could have our own races and then use the rest for test/tune or something.
I think Hallet is 2 grand to rent??

Look up " Pit Happens" from 2007....Same thing. It's also summertime and there are a lot of vacations happening right now as the kids are getting out of school and some people just think it's too hot to race right now. Hell, 1/3 of our students yesterday were worn out and leaving after only 2 or 3 sessions on track...

some of us just have a bad history at Hallett and want to save the equipment for bigger things.

[jeffburch]

Same date event at Road Atlanta entry list

You reap what you sow.
Our group should be proud.
Others? :roll:

jb

[GlennCMC70]

i agree Jeff. Group 4 here in TX has reasons to be proud. but lets use our efforts to show other classes how to develop that group unity that we have.

i also never understood why HPDE guys just will not make the trip.

[nasa-rm]

I for one am very proud of the AI/CMC group showing at Hallett. 30+ AI/CMC cars is not something all that common. Heck, we have a bigger CMC field than for nationals (at this point).

This is seriously something that should have video shot and do a DVD. In car video is easy - now we need 4 cameras around the track.

This event can only get better.

[AI#97]

The comments I always get from potential HPDE prospects is, "They have hpde at nasa tx events?"

It's called marketing and letting people know you exist...

JB...Pantas is a regional master and the example to copy. Period.

[AI#97]

Since I won't be racing, if I make the trip up, I plan on bringing a couple cameras to do grid vids, track side vids and would like to put a camera on a tripod at the inside of Turn 2 for atleast the start of the race getting the field coming down at T2. Sadly, I won't be in any of the vids but hey, might as well support my guys and keep the excitement alive.

Anyone got a tripod they want to risk? Thinking about having 10-12 feet to the inside of the track toward the corner worker station and about 40 feet before the turn in cone about 2 feet or less off the ground.

[Jeremy Gunter]

walmart.... mine is $$$

I'll sacrifice the tri-pod if you sacrifice the camera....

[ShadowBolt]

And I bet three or four of the fastest CMC drivers in the country will be at Hallett but not at Nationals.


JJ

[jeffburch]

I have 2 tripods.
Need EV to come supervise this.
Anybody heard from Varvini?
I heard from Corey this morn.
He's coming.

Scotty'sSpeedShop?????????


jb

Camera is good to go, I just need to charge the battery.

[michaelmosty]

Just got back in town, catching up on the posts, ready for Hallett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Al Fernandez]

I talked to Todd, and he's definitely out and didnt think Eric would be making it.

[AllZWay]

I am still definitely in... I guess since I don't have a pit stall, I will try to setup pit across the road from the little stalls near the Bitch.

[jeffburch]

Boudereaux-out (car not ready), but bringing MH, margarita machine and sound system.
Aspires to get in a Spec RX7 arrive/drive with Nick Runyon. Boudy said Nick's new car wasn't ready. :(

good chance LiiR is out...

[Rob Liebbe]

I'm sorry to see all the dropouts, but sure they are unavoidable. We will refer to you all as "flies" and might even miss you. :) See you at the next event.

[rpoz27]

Martin is out. Ever since we fixed my car, his has had a serious handling issue. Poor guy! Anyway, I have pit stalls 11 & 12, if anyone wants to share with me.

I'm just looking for a weekend home.

[Rob Liebbe]

Did Pedersen ever find a ride to Hallet?

[RichardP]

Did Pedersen ever find a ride to Hallet?


I've gotten several offers (this group is great) but haven't gotten around to making any plans yet. Yea, I know that's weird for this massively anal-retentive dude but I'm trying to loosen up a bit.

Your offer of a Friday morning departure in the leisure mobile sounds pretty good, though. That's probably what I'll do if the seat is still open...

Sorry, Gary! Was gonna borrow a Houston friend's stacker and truck, if Martin's car went, and suffer through the 70mph max that the combo will do. Instead, I'm just gonna take the single car trailer that I have here and cruise at 85mph with the V1 on.

[Mason]

Glenn,

YES

Team Downunder is in. Daron sent in registration today.

[Hood]

Ok Glenn,

I've exhausted all possible scenarios to get to Hallet this year. Y'all have a great time and I'll catch ya on the flip. All I ask is that you bring back good video and stories!

[GlennCMC70]

Yee haww... I won the raceport lottery. :D

BTW... What does it cost? So that I bring enough cash to pay.

Mainly fuel cost for the trip. (excess of $500)

I guess there is also the fear that the rearend may be done before the weekend is...

I found a 10 bolt over in Somerville that I need to check on tonight... still could happen but very unlikely.

Ummm...I forget. I reserved it 1.5 mths ago. I'll call Connie tomorrow.

[Todd Covini]

:cry: :cry: :cry:
Once again, the Hallett Curse has gotten me and another year will go by that I'll miss my first Hallett experience.

Major life events at home & at work are going to prohibit me from going this weekend. My wife has been battling breast cancer this year and after a few surgeries and a few chemo treatments, it's really kicking her butt now. We found it early and doctors say that she'll be a cancer survivor, but we just need to get thru this month.

Tomorrow she goes in for another Chemo treatment. She's a strong lady, and a few months ago we thought everything would still be good for a Hallett vacation...but...my name's Covini, not Houdini....I can't pull this one off.

Sooo....
a) Keep us in your thoughts & prayers.
b) Say hi to JWL, Dave and the RM Boys.
c) Strive for a Fun, Drama-Less Hallett event
d) Don't run out on track to talk to other racers while they are competing
e) Drink, Drive & BBQ with fervor...but not in that order
f) Take lots of pictures, videos and GROUP PHOTOS!!!
g) Bring your cars home in the same running condition you take them up there in!!! (No blown motors, blown trannys, blown tires, blown fenders or doors)

....I'll be back soon.

-=- Todd

[Waco Racer]

We're praying for y'all. Talk to you soon.

[AllZWay]

WOW Todd... I had no idea. I am really sad to hear about your wife. Some close friends locally have been going through the same thing and the emotional toll alone on the family has been enormous. :(

[Al Fernandez]

We'll miss you Todd. Best wishes for Sheryl.

[Wirtz]

Sorry to hear the news Todd, but will be keeping a thought for you guys.

Done; and, we know.
