Day three: Hallett in Jennings, Oklahoma

This will be a short blog post. I'll stick to the essential bits of info (and share some pictures, always more pictures!)

We got to the track early enough in the morning to do a walk of the track... more essential for Doug, as he'd never driven Hallett before, whereas I had, back in 2016, but it's instructive regardless of whether you've driven the track before. It's amazing how much detail and perspective you DON'T get from a few laps at speed in the car.

Getting to the track early (for One Lap, anyway) also means scoring the limited covered parking area before everyone else shows up. This means getting shade to hang out in for the entire day, and for Hallett, it also meant being closest to the staging lane/track entry and the restaurant. It may seem like a minor detail, but it improves the experience for sure.

Today was the first time both Doug and I drive the same track, on the same day. We both had issues driving to our potential today. I was frustrated because I didn't capitalize on my previous experience driving this track in 2016, and Doug had issues himself, put 2 wheels off at one point, and wasn't able to come close to matching my times. 

BUT, we didn't damage the car or score a "DNF" or anything very bad like that. We are currently in 12th place overall:

Tomorrow we're back to Colorado, driving our home track of High Plains Raceway. We should both redeem ourselves tomorrow and not need to walk the track, so we'll sleep in an extra 45 minutes or so. 

Okay, okay; here are the pictures you want to see:
