And Metro is the new term for **** sucker.

 

Wishful thinking Doc and Paul. Maybe you two should get a room since you both think the same. Both are in the gutter. what you do in the gutter is your business.

 

We already have one. Just waiting for you! You're the meat in our sandwich!

 

I just through up in my mouth and alerted the "toolbox" that they have a couple of employees escaped!

 

I thought Paul was the opening act at Zippers?

 

Thanks jerk!

 

I didn't want Jarrod to miss out. The flashdance bit you do to the "raining men" song is really somthing to see.

 

Finally i'm getting my props and not looked at like just a piece of meat!

 

I wouldnt call scraps meat

 

Ok I'm sick now!

 

UUUmmmm.... ??

So....anyone joining us at Hallett??

 

I guess not.

 

Don't feel bad Jeff these sorry swine can't go to anything mustang related. They just pretend to be enthusiasts!

 

Ouch...

 

Zing Zada Zing!

 

zing two times~~!!

 

Just a quick review of the event....but, before I do that, a HUGE "Thank you" needs to go out to Dell Hughes, who served as the event chairman and organizer for this event. Without Dell's forsight, this event simply wouldn't have happened.

OK, about the event: Hallett is a twisting turning, climing and diving "old school" facility...a true "driver's track" and honestly, of all the tracks I've driven, it's probably my favorite from behind the wheel. As an instructor, it's a very challenging track to instruct...blind crests, blind apexes, hyper late turn-ins and yes, even a few places where your students CAN mess up. Bottom line: a great track to drive in BOTH directions. Yes, Hallett can be driven both directions...and that's what we did!

If you've never been there, here is a link to the track's web site: http://www.hallettracing.net . Go to the Photo Gallery link on the left and find the SVTOA event images to see the cool collection of cars we had in attendance. We had one of the last Parnelli Jones Saleens but and not just one, but TWO Gulf Blue Heritage Edition Ford GTs screaming around the track. And, here is a link to a forum post by Steve, one of the GT drivers; http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7556 Thanks for the kind review Steve!

Over the course of the two days, we had a couple of minor incidents; fortunately, but the bottom line: no one was injured.

I want to thank all the students and participants - everyone played by the rules, drove within the spirit of the event and played nice with each other on the challenging Hallett course - both directions!

And of course, again, we simply could NOT have done this event without our in-car instructors. For the Hallett event, our hard-working instructor crew consisted of;
Mark Bettin - TX
Jonathan Blevins - OK
David Cook - IL
John George - TX
Brock Ivers - OK
Chris Lyons - TX
Buck Morris - OK
Clay Pearce - OK
Mitchell Pinnix - CA
Bud Sharp - TX
Michael Vanzandt - IL

Thanks again guys, your students and I appreciate your dedication and willingness to share your knowledge with others.

Also, a special call-out to Peter Hughes for his tech support willingness to help out anyone with a mechanical problem and to 5.0/Late Model Restoration and United Ford for their sponsorship of the event.

Oh yeah...and the weather was SPECTACULAR!

See you on track!

 

Sounds like it was a great event Jeff! Is this going to be a annual event? If so, please let me know and we'll get it on the club calendar. I'd love to go! I just couldn't this year.

 

We could make it a club event!!

 

We (SVTOA) are considering TWO dates at Hallett in 2008... one in the spring and one in the fall. But, we won't have any 2008 dates locked in until Dec or Jan.

But, we NEED more students...expecially the Novice (beginner) drivers. The more students, the more advanced and instructors we get...

I'll keep y'all posted when we get the dates locked in...

And of course, you could make it a club event...paddock all together... cookout, caravan over to the track...pre-event tech sessions. I've got several instructors in the Tulsa-area who would be willing to help you organize / prepare to come out as a group.
