Well, like the thunderstorms of north Texas, another Hallet came and went... drop your vids and pics here.

Overall I had a great time. The food, friends, and f-understorms were a fantastic way to spend a weekend.
Gary, Tim - I owe both of you, if not an outright apology, at least an admission that this was probably too much to ask for. I did not remember it being thisclose:

You owe Bob big time. He was moving over to the left and somehow must have seen you in his mirror. On our video you can see him start to make the move and yank it back to the right. It was very close.

Total damage from my single car visit to the tirewall in R1:
Snapped outer tie rod
Bent inner tie rod
Bent spindle
Cracked (pre-existing?) LCA
Bent/cracked wheel
Crumpled QP + trashed Front bumper + fender
Inner fender bent
I left the bent inner tie rod and spindle on the car, ran without a front bumper, and did OK enough for R3+R4. Kinda wish I took the suggestion to limp it through 1 lap of R2 to get some points. Thanks to Dan Allford for the outer tie rod and free welding service!
Wait... what... Dan welded on a non-Ford product during a race weekend. I'm speechless.
It's awesome that Dan is always willing to come to the rescue with his welding services. I know he cringes when he sees the welding done on most of our cars. He's actually increasing the value of the final product once the welding is complete.
This is truly an awesome group to be associated with!

While on my way to grid for R3 I noticed the brake pedal pulsing a little. At grid I checked both front rotors but only saw small heat cracks, all small and none near the edge of the rotors. Just after leaving grid the pulsing became audible. Missed R3 but put on my spares and made R4.

Pff, I went out in qual on one of those and forgot to change it for R1. Had another in R3 (which was short lived). R4 was thump free.
Like Francis, I'm trying to decide if I went a little outside my range or if shit just happened. I'd been running a little too timid in the last couple events and tried to tighten it up for here. Not sure what to take away just yet, definitely need to reflect. R3 was a bummer, I had a gangbuster start!
