This morning started great. My cold is slowly going away and the Nyquil last night was a huge help. We pulled into Hallet on time and ate a casual breakfast while watching the big dogs run their groups. Greg drove at Hallet and did a wonderful job. This track is very tricky with blind turns and lots of elevation changes; or undulating hills as our UK buddy from the Vintage Charger says.
The morning session was tough for everyone around turn 9 - lots of dirt flying as wheels were dropped and spin outs followed. Exciting as it was, thankfully no one was hurt, and no bruises to the cars. Greg consistently dropped time on each lap in the morning, and finished in 60th. The afternoon session flew by and Greg dropped some more time. Thanks goes to Jason from Team ZoomZoom for the pointers. Once the official times are posted we will let you know where we stand!
Here are some pictures from today at Hallet - check out the Alfa in the last 4...
Appalachain Bay on the approach to Hallet. Beautiful Cherokee Country!
Fourth Day, Fourth Track - on schedule and feeling good!
Greg whipping it through turn 9 like a pro.
Almost getting chased down by the RS, but not this time!
Remeber what I said about turn #9, and getting a little dirty....well this is what not to do, but how to save yourself if you do it. Great Job to David for saving himself and his Alfa through that turn.
Dropped a wheel off the curbbage and rooster tailing dirt everywhere
Off the dirt and shooting across track!
Correcting and swerving back on track
And off he goes for turn 10! What an exciting time
We are off to the Drag Strip at Tulsa Park - I am driving this one and then we have a long haul up to St. Louis. Not expecting to get in until 1am - ouch!
