I hope to see all of you there. I think I started going to this event in 1976 or so but have been absent for several years. I remeber Jim WIcks calling and asking if I would come to his new event in Tulsa. It was a motel parking lot event back then. I don't think they need to invite anyone anymore. It's time to get back into the event.
Hallett isn't really a GT40 type of track. It is the track where I learned about off throttle oversteer when a 427SC and I danced nose to nose and he was going in the right direction. I've never gone backwards that fast ever again.
It's also the track that I experienced a real GT40 at speed for the first time. Frank it was #105. The Willment Coupe visited there over the years as well which I later found out was the car that Dennis Olthoff's father had campaigned all over Euroupe and Africa. It really is a small world.
In probably 1980ish there was a gentleman(can't remember his name) from Texas that had an original yellow Mark II there. I remember looking in my rear view coming through the freeway sign corner saying to myself "don't screw up now".
I fell totally in love with the Mark II that day and dreamed about some day having one. Now I have one, thank you Lord. It will not be there this year but I have promised Jack that it will be there next year along with Kirby's and Jack's Mark I. Can't wait to see and hear Dean's and John's cars. Hey, I'm getting excited.
