timmythecop Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Nice and smooth. The track reminds me of Cadwell Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gswanson Posted September 3, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 3, 2014 Max speed for me in the kart was 87 mph, and yeah, running clockwise the turn after the bitch was very blind. I could never remember which way it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer bswiles Posted December 5, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looks like a lot of fun...I'm only 30 minutes from the track but have never been on it. I will definitely come out and meet everyone if there is a next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely come out and meet everyone if there is a next time. It's a great facility. If I was that close I'd be up there all the time riding or watching the high-end sport cars do laps. I plan to ride Hallett the weekend of March 21st-22nd in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDON Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm in Will register this weekend How's the weather pattern down there that time of year? Last November was more like snowmobiling temps than track day temps. Camp or hotel weather? Anyone else interested? Hope Adam comes because I still haven't put a new shifter lever yet and his Dremel is really handy! Dutch You need anymore stickers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer dutchinterceptor Posted February 4, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2015 The temps will probably be the same as November... just sunnier! Crappy weather or not, I will be camping so I can afford all the TD's I have planned this year. I'm making some changes to the bike so I'll get back to you on the stickers. Hopefully it'll be ready.

Member Contributer texasvfr Posted February 4, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2015 Is this the same track near Tulsa that used to be called Mansville? If it is, I used to race lay-down enduro karts there in the mid sixties. Wonder if it is that small a world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrurknee Posted February 4, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2015 Texasvfr, I am about 20 miles from the track at Hallet in Mannford. Don't know of a Mansville. The origin of Mannford was a trading post at the junction of the Arkansas and Cimarron rivers called originally Manns Ford, named after the owner. In the early 60s the Keystone Dam was built which created Lake Keystone and flooded the original townsite. All that remains are a few foundations and a boat ramp. The town relocated a few miles east and above the flood plane and was called New Mannford for about twenty years or so. Eventually they dropped the 'New'. I have been here since '77 and have little knowledge of what went on around here in the 60s but it seems like I read somewhere that there was a track nearby. Things changed a lot when the lake was filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDON Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Dutch Thank so much for photo documenting my entire Yoga- Pilates program for the winter! Rush I b thinking both sat Sunday weekends at this point. That will need to be cross referenced with my "evaluator of domestic bliss" but pretty sure no conflicts for now. U can push in as 3 bikes will fit in my rig without requiring the questionable ideas being put into action. Leave out fri and return sun late. Diesel fuel cost ($300 round trip) can be split that way and we can save hotel costs by staying at track. If it's cold and windy then we can pop for a hotel in town. I would text you about it, but there is this weird delay on your phone. It takes days to weeks for your texts to come back. Must be too much traffic on satellites or something? Any other VFRDs thinking about going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer texasvfr Posted February 4, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks vfrurknee for the reply. After all, my kart racing days were almost fifty years ago. You should have seen what some of the moto tracks looked like back then. Hodaka ruled ! No one could afford a Bultaco or a Scrambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen what some of the moto tracks looked like back then. Hodaka ruled ! No one could afford a Bultaco or a Scrambler. One of my best riding buddies had a Super Rat. He was 6'6" and about 250lbs but a gifted rider and could make that Hodaka do miracles. He spent hours perfecting the Malcom Smith trick from "On Any Sunday" where he rode up the face of a bluff then coasted backwards then rode away without ever dabbing a toe. Ah, the good ole days!
