More Flu Blogging

I hope to shake this bug soon, but one of the ATR guys forwarded this. An F-Production Lotus Seven tearing up Hallett last weekend (IIRC). The Lotus Seven first appeared in 1957 and has been going strong in various guises since.

Hallett Update

A quick call down to Hallett, OK this morning found the intrepid automobilists coping with snow accumulating at an inch an hour and blowing sideways. Hmmm- the warm glow of the computer monitor seems like such a comfort at the moment.

Needless to say they aren't getting much track time but the word is they have the cylinder head off the Z car (and why that is is the $64 question. ; -)

Hallett

Well I was supposed to be on the way to Hallett, OK. The Hallett Raceway is the attraction, not the Budget ZZZZ motel in nearby Cleveland, OK (although it does have a certain charm, in a Bates Motel kinda sense ; -).

The group of ne'r-do-wells, Age & Treachery Racing, that allow me to associate with them are dragging their race cars out'n the basements, garages and caves for a spring adventure. Based on the forecast, they may need snow tires for Friday, possibly Saturday. Oh well, once the last car is off the track for the day, the drinking lamp is lit. That just means it (and us) will get lit sooner.

But this may be one of the most powerful early spring storms in generations, and since the German POS I drive does not have snow tires, I'm going to forgo the festivities. Have to make it to the fall races (and hopefully CVAR's car count for the fall races will hold up).

Oh and by the way, the current slide show is a collection of pix from the October '08 CVAR event held at Hallett.
