oooo, 1 more week. At my age its rare to feel like an 8 year old a week before Christmas.
So, they have gas pumps at the track. In years past, have the had enough fuel for all weekend? (91 octane)

Yes, with the 4.30.

For all your Hallett newbies, please be advised that 91 octane is all you will find. If your car requires 93 octane, plan accordingly. A gallon of Toluene mixed with a tank of 91 gets you close to 93.
The track does have a tank with 100 octane, but there's no guarantee it will be filled. Plus, it's $7/gallon or thereabouts.
And if you have tow hooks, mount them. It's easy to go off-roading at Hallett. And if you'd like to know the most scenic and popular off-track spots, just follow William...

Oklahoma has some gas stations outside of the major cities that serve up non-ethanol gas. I found one between the lake and the hotel last year. Gas stations near the hotel will have ethanol. There is probably some phone app that will help you find it.

1994 Black NA - SOLD

Cleveland has the nearest non-ethanol gas to the track. Check it out on pure gas dot com. NC's will need octane boost.

Newbie here so I have a bunch of questions. Only driving on Saturday. Plan on bringing extra oil and pads (though I don't expect to need the pads). What else should I bring that might not be obvious to a first-timer? I have a race port. Will there be air for tires? A jack and tools for repairs if necessary (hopefully not)?
What about track insurance?
Also, any experienced drivers willing to take a passenger on Friday? I understand I will have an instructor my first session at least (possibly more), but I figure the more instruction I can get the better, so I'm open to anybody volunteering to impart their wisdom.

Bring:
Pads, brake fluid, oil, tools to change pads or make minor repairs, air pressure gauge, jack stands ( and a jack if you have room), windex, small cooler for water/Gatorade, folding chair, a good attitude.
I'm sure there will be plenty of peeps willing to give you a ride along on Friday.

And beer. Because they only sale that weak shiz in Oklahoma.
"When life hands you lemons, Paint that SH!T Gold!!"
You can buy the good shizz in OK but it won't be cold. You'll have to use your hotel bathtub to chill it. You're more than welcome to ride with me on Friday if you want - ridealongs are key to figuring out the track and having more fun...
Track insurance? WTF is that??? Lol
If you can't afford to wreck it, you can't afford to track it...
