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.

Same date event at Road Atlanta entry list

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

walmart.... mine is $$$

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

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