I would go with you but dont know if I can get off that early. I start a new position with my company next week so I will have to see.
Gary, lemme know if you can engineer an early escape from work. I'd just like to get up there before dark, and in time to get some grub that doesn't come from golden arches. ;)
I'm in Rick.
I am pretty sure gabkwong will drive up with you too.
I'm in. I like to take off from work at lunch time and head up. Something like last year. Not sure if we want to do scenic route again.Quote:

Sounds good to me.
What time and place should we meet up? I'm coming up on 75 from downtown. BTW, are we going to stop somewhere for lunch or we meet up after lunch?
I'm gonna try and leave around lunch time.... Plus 6 hours! Lol
We close at 6pm, but I'm going to try and get out a coupe hours early.
We can meet somewhere up on 75 in Plano and grab lunch before we roll out. Any suggestions?Quote:

1. What's the most direct highway route from Plano if heading to the hotel first?
2. Most direct route if heading to the track first?
Looking for highways and major roads only.
Look at these possibilities.
1. US75 north to Tulsa, then west on US412.
2. US75 north to US270, west on US270 to Seminole and OK99, then OK99 north to Hallett.
If you're going straight to the track, don't discount the route up I-35 through OKC to I-44, then north on 99 at Stroud. It's basically all interstate until you get to that last little bit on 99. Take 190 from Plano to 35 and you're golden...
Long shot here... is anyone (east or west) going up Friday instead of Thursday?
Just came back from a DE at Hallett. 75 has some construction on it, not much, it did not delay traffic. EVERY small town had a cop with radar. The V1 was screaming. Do not speed in the towns.
Hallett ran out of 91 gas on Saturday. Hopefully it will be filled before Sat. OK only has 91 octane so if you are tuned for more bring booster. Last stop for gas is S 209th W Ave off of 412.

There was one other closer but it was not open on Sunday.
The track was as always fun elevation changes but rough surface. I played with the new setup on the car and the tried different lines. I was able to match my TTB track record on some older Hoosiers. Fresh tires should drop me in to the 1:24.
Hey it's M@H-X not some social for fat german cars (but thanks for the tips anyhoo).Quote:

Can't hardly wait to do it all over again. See you there.
Fine. Then I will not share with you where you can find the best Brie in Tulsa? Ha, suffer.
Let me venture a guess. How about here:Quote:

You really should come back up to Hallett and hang with the cool kids. You are welcome to co-drive my car if you can shoehorn into it.

Take the toll road up to 360 then over to Denton.
Yeah, I was planning on going that way.Quote:

Of course 380! Did I say 360? That would just have you going in circles.
I knew which highway he was talking about. :-)
I plan on driving in a circle all day Friday and Saturday. Zoom Zoom.Quote:
