Hallett Summer Shootout - Race Vids and Pics

[cjlmlml]

Had a great time hanging out with all the CMC guys, the AI guys , and the other SI guy. Gotta get more SI cars. Maybe proctor rents me his cmc for TWS?

Dragged the family up there and they had a good time.


BL is right, Hallett is a mini vacation, think of it that way and its much more fun.


Anyways, Connie and Scott & the rest of the Hallett gang are the best, The AICMC guys are the best, There was fish in the pond.

I ordered pics of the weekend and the photographer said it will come with video of the 4 AI/SI starts, I will upload when I get em.

Al needs more steering angle

I thought he already had it... needed it so save the vicious spin I put him in.

Good writeup Dave. Always forget to mention a few things. But it was great having Ole English back with us both on and off track. I'm glad I never encountered him on the track but know he had some good runs. Didn't realize that was Gary "The Ironman" Robertson's first win. I didn't get to shower him with water so I'll wait till another event to get him which Houston is always the best for that. Everyone better watch out for him-think he ran a 1:28.6 on 16" rain tires! When is Knocker going to come out of it's shell and start trash talking the other 80's cars like the Fast Foxes?

I believe they make inner tie rod spacers for more dorifuto angle, might be a worthy investment if someone makes them for the 4th gen. Here's my short lived R3, drive fast take chances!

I know, right? Did you see how bad Al was out of control and spinning when I first rammed into him at about 3:50? The front wheels were turned so far, so long, I thought it was a drift car. Probably knocked the rear bumper cover clean off.

It must look like he was so out of control that he was able to continue his line and try work a pass on the 15 into T2.

And I wonder, just where were the left wheels before the 5 spun?

What do the position of Al's wheels have to do with the incident?

You mean the ones behind us, or damage sustained? As far as Derek's car goes, it was a drop in the bucket after the lumberjacking episode. Mine seems to have some cross caster that I'm trying to figure out (and lost a wheel), the alignment values and adjustment bolt positions aren't the same as before. Thinking I'll shove the k member back to the right and go from there. I dropped .6 seconds off my fastest lap in the final, so it turned left just fine. Couldn't really tell on the right handers, it plowed (like usual) through 4 but 9 felt A-OK. Next track is a clockwise configuration, so I can't sleep on this.

I see why I went of in R2 now, bummer. Still had a blast catching up to the back of the pack.
