World Racing League at Hallett Raceway 10/19 & 10/20/2019

Hallett Raceway is a 1.8 mile long race track located in Jennings Oklahoma.  It is one of the very few tracks that can be run both clock wise and counter clockwise.  With World Racing League we ran CCW on Saturday and CW on Sunday.  

On Saturday 45 cars started, 9 cars in GP4 with us in the Gensoku 1995 Mazda Miata. Our car was able to put down the same lap times as the 1st place car but were only able to get 2nd place in class, 20th over all, completing 199 laps in 8 hours.  Sunday we also got 2nd place completing 211 laps in 8 hours, 17th over all.

Amazingly we had zero mechanical issues for the entire 16 hours of racing!  We had one small car to car contact which did have a minor affect on rear toe.

Historic Motorsports Racing @ Road Atlanta and MaxSpeed Track Days 9/29/19

I was in Atlanta for work and had a day off.  So I made the trek over to Road Atlanta to spectate some vintage auto racing with Historic MotorSports Racing.

I got meetup with the fine folks at MaxSpeed Track Days and Maxspeed GarageClub.  Which happens to be just down the road from the track.  The garage club is really interesting concept; I wish I was closer!  Basically for $100 monthly rate, one gets 24*7 access garage, tools, lift, with an air conditioned lounge with internet access.
