The trailer saw triple digits on the way home thanks to the inconsiderate caravan leaders:

Don't look...there's nothing down here for you!
Had a blast at my first Hallet day. I'm already looking forward to next year. Thanks to Stevan for leading us up Route 66 on the way there and back, some of the things you see along the way are just too cool and for getting my car ready for the event with only a few days to get his own ready for the trip! Great to have Chris with us on the run up, and William and Michael on the run down. I need to check my pics and also see if the GoPro worked out. Also a big thanks to everyone that offered help when we found out I possibly had a bad tire at the end of the event. We aired it up on the way out of town and it did good the whole way home. Waggs- I'll have to get you to sit in with me on a session next year, I felt I got quite a bit faster as the day went on and I got more comfortable with the track. And I got to take my parents for a session each which not only was fun for me but a blast for them. They may end up with a miata and be at Hallet as well, lol.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

What a great event. The Friday open track day was perfect for a first timer. Steady improvement with more to learn. I am already committed for next year. Thanks Doug for hauling my tires. If you need someone to teach you how to go off safely, Dan is your man.

+1 on the chase session - I'd love to see it.
Another fantastic time at Hallett! Friday afternoon was awesome, as usual. Relaxed atmosphere, little traffic unless you wanted it, tons of track time. Thanks to miataspeedracer for a taste of the boost. My wallet is in trouble now...
In other wallet-damaging news, the FM Cosworth NC was a pretty nice ride, and all the NCs at the track are looking really fast these days. Trackdog's winning blue car put down some pretty serious times!
Saturday was tons of fun as well - and group 5 gets faster and faster every year. Mr. BRG's car was awesome - even the 435hp LS2-powered NAhad a hard time pulling away on the straights. Wags keeps getting faster, too, putting down a 1:27 in the green car.
I'm not getting much faster, but it was a clean weekend with no spins, no offs, and the car is in one piece. Maybe not trying hard enough...
Thanks to the Arkansas Miata Club for putting on the event and to all the DFW Miata crew for helping make it so enjoyable. Already have the weekend marked off for next year.

With help from SixAce and maybe others, we shot a lot of photos. Up to 10 fps with the camera didn't hurt the count.
Here are 624 of them. There might be one of you or your car in there somewhere.

Wow that's alot of great photos! I saw there was a buy option. Do you get the money for those or is that smug mug's doing? I smiled when I saw the one of the resident photographer. Your photos are as good if not better.
+1 on the "great photos" from cone-cerned (except for the ones with the red-bearded dork in them)
SixAce's video rocks, too. i need to learn how to edit my videos like that...
it was awesome to finally meet a bunch of you frequent forum users (cone-cerned, SixAce, bnordin, Sharpie, BlackRoadster, and many more) also, thanks to several of you for helping me suck less at getting around hallett! that was my first time there, and like bnordin, i'm ready for next year
i need a better phrase...
