Default Hallet Track rental- Sept 29th

Yes, I know it's a weekday.

Plan accordingly.

I'm looking into setting up a Hallett lapping day once the weather cools off. Cost will be in the ~$100/person range. I seriously doubt we can get it any cheaper, but I'll let you know. Figure $100 for now. Basically, the flat rate is around $1200 divided by the number of drivers. 20 cars would drop the price to $60 each.

Who would be interested in running? There would be 5 cars on the track at a time, and you'll get AT LEAST 5 20 minute runs, if not more. Once we have a firm count, we can figure out the actual details (direction, time on course, etc).

I am capping the entry list at 20 to keep the size reasonable. PM or email me if you're interested or have any other questions. Once I get the contract signed (later this week), I'll be accepting PAYPAL payments.

1) Helmets are available for rent
2) 'verts are allowed
3) Corner workers and ambulance will be on-site
4) Any and all cars are allowed, as long as they pass tech.

Hallett is a trip! If you haven't been to one of these you need to go!!!

Umrswimr - Don't want to rain on your parade because I know you are trying to keep your event to 20 cars but if for some reason your's doesn't work out the Z Club of Texas is doing this exact same thing on Sunday, September 11th at Hallett.
I have been the last 2 years in a row and we have a GREAT time. All classes of Z's show up and a few others like the vettes. Instructors are available free of charge.

Sign me up for 2 entries. I will bring the 240 ITS car and my wife will run the 350. Just let me know when to send the money and how much. $60 would be awesome but even @ $100 it's well worth the money. Hallett is my home track if you have not been you need to sign up for this. Hallett is one of the most technical tracks in the country and also one of the safest with plenty of room for runoffs in almost every corner.

Will we be running Counter-Clockwise?

Can do. Once I sign the paperwork (it's in the mail now), I'll be accepting nonrefundable deposits for $60 (the cheapest the event will be). This will ultimately secure your spot.
If we end up with less than 20 cars, I'll ask that you bring a check, made out to Hallett, for the difference. Sound fair?

We will discuss direction/run groups/etc once we solidify the plans. I am not opposed to running CCW in the AM, CW in the PM.

UPDATE:

Ok, the paperwork arrived and it's not nearly as cheap as I had hoped.

True, it's only $1000 for the track, but it's also:

$70/hr for an ambulance. (don't wreck- I'm not paying that)
$30/hr for a wrecker (again, don't wreck)
$65/day for corner workers * 8 corners
$15/hr for the gate security guard (this **** better come with free beer for that price)
$5 per tire PER CAR for "track resurfacing fee". Ie, 20 cars * 4 tires * $5 = $400.

So, based on a 20 car limit, this comes out to:
$1000 + 65*8 + 15*11 + 5*4*20 = $2085
Or a total of ~$104 per person.

So, here's the deal: I must have $500 secured by the 15th for this to be a go. Which means I need 6 people (five others plus me) to submit their $104 deposits to me by that date.
Payment can be arranged via papal (umrswimr@hotmail.com) or via check (PM me for address). This payment is FULLY REFUNDABLE if 6 deposits are not obtained. Once the track deposit of $500 is paid, there are NO REFUNDS. I don't want to get stuck paying the tab if somebody flakes out.
In the event that 20 cars are not signed up, I will need everyone to pay the difference made out to Hallett. We'll address this if/when it occurs.

Default instructors

Will there be instructors or fellow members willing to show drivers around the track? I've never been to Hallet, but it looks like fun.

Absolutely. We're going to be out there for enough runs, I would have no problem (and I could find others) who would be more than willing to do ride-alongs, lead-follows, and other instruction.
