Do we need to get in on this?
Ya, I think so.
jb
Looks like they want to throw it on in appreciation for having us? Hmm, if they're providing the tucker, the we might have to provide the lubication? Boudy, you planning on coming right? :D
Just be there. All of you.Quote:

Both CMC and AI have had some incredible racing this year and I can't imagine how awesome it is going to be to have a whole other group with us. This will be a preview to what the future will bring us in TX. :D
I think these guys are coming, loaded for bear ... :shock:
In AI anyway 8) :P

To Drink and Eat maybe....wonder if they are going to race! :lol:Quote:

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

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

Finish Line Cafe open for breakfast, lunch, and (I think, although not certain) early dinner.Quote:
Is there food near or at the track?
Yes - after eating at the Finish Line Cafe.Quote:
Gas?
Call the track directly - many times, they'll do a "happy hour" pretty damn cheap. Especially if enough people are interested.Quote:
Is there a Friday test session?
Go in the spirit of having a great time.Quote:
Any other words of wisdom?
You're supposed to wear shorts in the outdoor showers... Hmm, I missed that memo...Quote:

Tent camping at the track is awesome! Its always nice and cool... we only had rain once, it was just a light sprinkle!! :twisted:
DD
I might be looking for a trailer was well. It does not look like the pit crew will be making this trip with me.
How about driving directions to get to the track? Looks like I35 most of the way. Then 64 to 412?
Jeff
I35 N to the 44 E to the 99 N. The track will be on your left side before you hit the 412, IIRC.
Sounds like Adam is spending too much time in California.Quote:

Matt
Glenn
Adam
Donovan
Proctor
Sharp
These are the names that have posted in this thread. I missed last year and am looking forward to going this year.
Reuth?
Lyons?
Jordan?
Covini?
I know I'm missing several.
We will be there.
-Jay
I should be there as well
Bryan
Mitch, Steve also.
The Jordans will be there if I can ever get a T2R!
Michael found one the other day that was supposed to be here this week but now it's 6-8 weeks but then he comes through again and finds another place that says their supplier has two in stock. I hope so, I have a lot to do before the end of June and it will be here before you know it. If I pull it off beware suckas.....OK, I know, that may be a little strong.
JJ
Which direction are we running? I pulled up youtube and see video going both directions?
i've only run it CCW.
I'll be there, with or without the winning car. Hey, I threw the serpentine belt, dont know if I'll have time to get to that. :lol: :wink:
Did you ever get your camber issue resolved?Quote:

Plan A the LiiR AIX #27 will be there Jason driving on Sat., David on Sun.
Plan B plus the TT? #10
Hope to convert garage into hotel room..
Right now, I plan on making the trek.
I'll be there. Frank
I will be there, don't yet know about Capps
One way or another I always seem to be able to haul my lazy butt to Hallett. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to this year...
Sorry folks, but I won't be at the Hallett shin-dig this year. Car, truck, trailer, gear, etc are still vacationing in SoCal, and will likely remain there until the first week of August.
Please be sure to post up pics, videos, etc of the event, as I'll need to live vicariously through them.
Have fun!
you will be talked about.Quote:

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.
