Corrected Video of me chasing an LE with a yellow tag. Remember, we are NOT racing. I was in Group 1 not 2, the video is from session 2.
From my MaxQ, my best lap time was 1:42.996 sec. That's only 16 seconds slower than Gary and Thomas.:punchout:
Still photos to come later.
Hey gang, had a great time!!!
thanks for all the help in the pits and the tire plug from Nails and a quick break change and fluid from Rick and William. Thanks guys.
and thanks for the track time Wag and Gary, I managed to get a 1:40.XXX during my second session Friday Happy with that for me, but lost my nerve the rest of the day. Don't know why I only went off the track every session but the last one....lol.
Well looking forward to [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Vern/Desktop/Hallett%20small/jeffman.jpg[/IMG] next year...so anyone know who bent up my front plate?...too weird.
file:///C:/Users/Vern/Desktop/Hallett%20small/jeffman.jpg fails =D

yep, that piece of the splitter is still hanging on maybe i'll let it reinforce the new one.
Pics are up on Bird's Eye's site: LINKIE If you e-mail him, he will send you a contact sheet with thumbnails of every photo he has of your car. Here's one of TrickyRix holding up progress. ;)

Vern sent me a couple of pics of my car. I'll post them up once I get home. I'll have video of my 1:30.6 lap at some point,too
If I had these on my car, I'd definitely get a picture CD:

or these while on the track:

I had a blast this year!
Other than having heartburn and a thobbing headache all weekend, everything was great.
Got my moneys worth out of my brake pads, and discovered the strange sound your caliper pistons make when they won't go out any further. lol
The car ran great and I shaved 3 seconds off my best time last year. And I avoided that demon that was sitting over at turn one.
With all the rain leading up to Friday afternoon, the track was a little green and did alot of drifting through "the bitch" and that's always fun.
I hope to post some video soon.
Later
Skirt
yes, post vids. I had lots and lots of fun on the second session of Saturday running with Skirt, Michael, and a few others. This cars are so much more fun with double the power. The fun factor quadruples, and there's enough of us at 180-220whp run together.
Nice shots! Zig shoot the second one? The motion blur looks better in the second. How'd that wing turn out? Could you feel the downforce in one from it?
Pimpin it John.Quote:

i still see a bumper on there. just looks cut. sav's is completely missing. i imagine it's to keep it from catching air and slowing down the car at high speeds. i'm cutting mine up.
he said if felt like warm apple pie. I'll let him answer, but year, it works like crazy supposedly. I'm still resisting the top-fuel wing to keep sleeper mode.Quote:

Well here is a link to my first Hallett 09 video.
It’s and early one I’m still working one getting the aspect ratio right. Just seems like it takes forever to do anything with video. I shows just how fast Gary’s beast really is.

green car needs a green camera.
Unfortunetly, it was the 1st run on Saturday that we where all bunched together.
I had some technical problems on that 1st run and I didn't get any video.
I really like the set up of my car. The new B-stones help a lot too. I had a couple of close calls, but no off or spin! :-) I had a couple of minor issues. The car skated a little in the turns where the pavement were broken up a little and my rear brake was down to the bone in my last session. I kind of like my second issue. I can feel the rear of car is working harder than before with the new poly bushings!
Still photographs by cone-cerned and SixAce.
Nice pics Doug. Thanks! :clap:
Very nice Doug!
You got some nice shots there, good job!
Was everyone able to see the video I posted the link to yesterday?
I'm haveing a tough time telling if it is working.
Thanks
Skirt
Worked for me. Pretty cool with front and rear views.
Chris
Anyone have pics of my NC???
Well, now you know to hunker down and peek under the windshield header! ;)Quote:
