If you live in Oklahoma, Arkansas or Missouri, you have no excuse as to why you haven't attended a High Speed Touring event out at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit!

Tired of the 1/4 mile? Want to see how your car does on a real track at real speeds? High Speed Touring is for you then.

What is HST?
Essentially, it's a controlled non-racing event where you drive the track at speed. There are limited passing zones and this is not racing, so anyone with a car and a helmet can attend. No need for race prepared cars, as even your stock car is welcome. Each event is broken into sessions of 15minutes to 20 depending on the event and a total of 5-7 sessions also depending on the event. After a short training session, they let you go right out and drive the track... pushing yourself and your car to it's limits.

What do I need to attend?
Any car, except for pickups, SUVs, minivans or station wagons are eligible. You will need a helmet (loaners available) and some comfortable lace up type shoes, tennis shoes or similar would be best. You also need your entry fee of $75 ($100 for special events) and if you aren't already a memeber of COMMA, you will need to join that as well for $35.

I've never done this before, is it safe?
Actually you are safer on the track than you are on the drive up or on city streets. You will be wearing a helmet, the track is lined with tire walls, and there are safety personel stationed thru-out the track.

How do I sign up?
It's easy, just visit the Hallett MRC website at Hallett MRC Website. From there you will find all of the forms you need to sign up for COMMA and to enter into an event.

How do I ready my car?
Make sure your tires have tread and are properly inflated, your lug nuts are tightened down. Check your oil, brakes, engine coolant, brake fluid, etc. Remove any loose items in your car, remove your subwoofer box, anything that adds extra weight or can fly around in the car when you are driving. When you get to the event your car will be tech inspected and you can remove any additional items at that time as well.

Do you have the guts?
You've spent the money for wheels and tires. You have your intake, header, exhaust, upgraded brakes, pullys, flywheels, short shifters and more. You've proved your car looks hot and can run a straight line... But don't you want more?

Hallett offers you one of the most technical drives you have ever had. It's ranked as a very technical course, and gives even the pros a good hard workout.

If you live in Oklahoma, Arkanasas or Missouri, you are within a reasonable drive to Hallett. And it's worth taking the time to attend an event. Trust me on this... I had my first event this last weekend and I CANNOT wait to get back for more!

The first time you fly thru a turn at 60+ and hear your car squeal with delight, you will know you are hooked.

Upcoming events:

- COMMA Challenge/HST August 24-25 (normal event $75 for 5 15 minute sessions)
- HST/Test & Tune September 14th (special event, $100 for seven 20 minute sessions)

Also, if you are going out, let me know so I can say hi... and maybe help you find your way around.

This is more fun than any 1/4 run could ever be.

Here are some pics of me from the event this past Saturday...

Dude that' seems pretty cool, I think i'll have to check it out sometime maybe in september when i actually have some money$$. let me know about future events at: agentman2000@hotmail.com

There is a tenative High Speed Touring / Test & Tune event on Sept the 14th, that's a Saturday. I am going to be at that one unless it is cancelled (due to lack of enough pre-registrations).

You should at least come out and watch and ride around with someone. You are welcome to ride with me for a session.

If this event doesn't go, I'll definately be at the COMMA event running the weekend of Sept 24/25, most likely on that Saturday. This is a great time to see some real racing as well as get some HST track time.

I'll post here Friday when they let me know the event is going on.

Hope to see you and anyone else in the area there!

Yeah I'd like to ride with you maybe before i give it a shot that would be cool, i dunno about Sept. 14th cuz that's my birthday. How far is Hallet from OKC??? how much would it cost me to get in and watch/ride?? Let me know please.

 
Rep Power: 304

I'm not sure about how far it is, as I've never driven from OKC to Hallett.

Cost for spectators is usually $5-10 depending on what racing events are going on at the time. I think it's only $5 for HST/Tune & Test days (like Sat the 14 of Sept).

FYI, heard of Oklahoma Speed? We are ak OK based car enthusiast group who have hangouts, group trips to Hallett and to Thunder Valley. Check out our site at www.ok-speed.com - can meet some folks from your area and hang who love driving fast! Most of the meetings are in and around Norman so you are pretty close.

Yeah OK Speed is dumb and full of drama i know alot of the people, most of us 7th gens in the city meet up i meet dude from norman and southside alot and also us northsiders meet too. I have a car club also. OK speed is alright but its mainly for computer nerds who don't live in the import scene daily like go cruise and race everynight, but thanx for the info i'd still like to come hang with ya. always good t meet new 7th gens/ imports.

 
Rep Power: 304

I'm a computer geek too, but I do find their disorganization to be most frustrating.

I'd like to meet up with some other OK based 2k1/2k2 folks. Let me know when you guys are going to get together next and I will see whats up. Maybe you guys should all come out to Hallett and see how sweet it is to take the vic hard thru the corners.

I love going to Hallett.

I got lucky this weekend and was able to attend the COMMA High Speed Touring on Saturday. Rock!

You guys missed out on some great track lapping on one of the nations more technical tracks.

Don't forget that there is a tenative event scheduled for Sept 14th (Sat) and I hope to see some of you guys out there.

The Ok region SCCA combined with ARVG is putting on a 2 day event Oct 19-20. Schedule:
Sat. 30 min in the morning, 30 min in the afternoon. Same thing on Sunday.

Cost $100.

I will be there, but not in my Civic (wife might drive it though). Gonna really beat up the Jetta since it will have some fresh go fast goodies then.

There is another AutoX event next Sunday in Okc too. Yesterday turned out to be great, even with the rain. I ran with the slicks, but it was dry enough by that time.

Oh yeah. If you guys know Jeff (I think) with the S2000, he went into the tire barrier yesterday at Hallett. He came down to the autoX for a little while and you could see the black tire marks on the rear bumper. Didn't jack up his car though.

Is this the driving school/regional event? I was looking for more information on the driving school but was not able to find it... and the person who i wrote about it didnt asnwer me. Do you know any details online I can look at about it? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

 
Rep Power: 304

LOL.. I was there when it happened. I was behind him as I came around 10 and I saw him lose it. It was wierd to see him glide across the grass and into the tirewall like that. But I'm glad he and his car came out ok.

And glad it wasn't me. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I was just surfin when I came across this.......just had to say hello.

Yeah, I have the S2000 that I put into the tire wall there, had a good time digging it out too!!!



alienmeatsack, aren't you the one that backed into FRISKY's Vette Z06???

 
Rep Power: 0

God, I'm glad I missed that day at Hallett. Too many bad things happened.

But I and my little turbo will be out at Hallett this coming year.

 
Rep Power: 304

That would be me. But ironically I wasn't the only one that day who had wierd stuff happen.

I was just glad that Frisky was so nice about the whole thing and he was able to get it fixed up without hassles.

Remember kids, when you park in front of the main building at Hallett, don't double park behind others please. And if you are backing up, look very carefully before backing into an expensive Vette.

I'm looking forward to seeing your car in action at Hallett this coming season myself. Will be a good comparison between mine without the turbo and suspension and yours with it. I'm sure there are others in the forum here who will like to see how they compare in a real track environment.

And hell, open tracking rocks no matter what car you got!
