The pictures from the night race at Texas Motor Speedway are in. I'm a little disappointed that there are no good night shots of me with the rotors glowing.

There's very few overall really. Maybe there were camera difficulties. I was hoping for a photo I could hang up in the cubicle.

dude this is great - subscribed!
I've done a bunch of autocross and a school at DriveWay Austin and track day at GrandSport down by Galveston. I'm really interested in heading out to TWS, i went to watch once and it looked like a blast.

Hallett Anyone?
I know this is kind of last minute. But Im headed to Hallett Raceway in Oklahoma this weekend. It is a full HST day (open day). They only have 29 people registered so far, and have plenty of room for more. 3 groups with 7 run sessions on Saturday...maybe more.

I had to think about it for a moment, but all considering I can;t make it on short notice. Who sponsors Hallett events? I would like to head up there before the year is out. I need to burn up some vacation anyway.

Its fun and interesting out there. Its not as structured as Apex or TDE events. You dont need to have an instructor in your car at all...unless you want one to learn the track or learn some skills.
But with it being a SCCA Level 5+ track...if you can drive well here, then every other track should come easier.
You've still got time

Hallett is a blast! The Oklahoma Z Car Club tried to reserve it for Aug 22 but we couldn't get enough people to join. Unfortunately I will be at a football game with my oldest son Saturday so I won't be able to make it. The track is very nice and there is plenty of runoff around the majority of the track. They run the HST event very well, I think there hasn't been car-to-car contact in over 10 years. Take some video, make sure to get the transponder and post your times.

But I do run a Traqmate/ChaseCam setup...so hopefully I can get a good lap and post something up for yall.

We went a year ago this month and it was 100°+ temps, very hot! It was my first time tracking the car. My first few laps were ~1.48. Next session they were ~1.42 and the last session I got them down to a best lap of 1.39. I've done a few HPDE's since at another track so hopefully I can break into the 1.36 or 1.37 range next time I go.

Our times are around the same. Too bad you cant make it out...with 7 sessions (maybe more), this should be fun!
