...and please also take into consideration your advanced age

🤭

Yes, thanks for reminding me that I am now in that most susceptible age group however more of a concern is that my wife takes medication which compromises her immune system. although she wasn't planning on going I have to be concerned of what (besides parts) I might bring back .

Oh geez is she still mad at you for that? I thought you got some penicillin for that?

Biting my tongue NOT to follow that one up with a "comment"

Will be nice today

Understand on some of the pictures in the news. If you like road racing Hallett has some great areas to watch the action with out being on top of each other. For those that like running open track events, Hallett is a great track. Also a safe track. I'm getting my car ready to run.
Hope to see lots of people and cars there. There is also lots of room at the Drag strip and the Host hotel for the car show.

Contacts say that registration for this year's event is running close to a normal year!!  WOW!!  So, that means lots of track time for the road course, as well as the drag strip.  It sounds like they are doing a great job of planning for contingencies and being creative so that it is a full, fun, multi-day event.  Cruise night, plus a Route 66 poker run, and the show & shine.  Lots going on.

They are continuing to update the webpage, so check it out:

Event is continuing as planned and evolving for circumstances.

That's fantastic news! I might still be able to go.

Thanks for sharing!

Really too bad the Concours judging was scrapped, takes a lot off the table for people.

Mid America Ford and Shelby Nationals is this coming Thursday-Sunday. Two days at Hallett, one day at the drag strip and Sundays Show.
I was at Hallett today. They are practicing social distancing, a few people at a time in the lower level of the tower. Restaurant is up and running. Things were going very smoothly out there today. If you have never been, this would be a great year to come, since so much has been canceled. It is family friendly.

After having nearly every road race cancelled this year I'm looking forward to Mid-Ohio. Maybe I can do Tulsa in the future.

Agree with you Mike.  Looking forward to next year, though.

What Dragstrip are they using ?

[Special Ed]

Just confirmed Rex Myers AM lightweight GT 40 will be coming to the tulsa show as we will be leaving Indiana early Thursday am and try to get the car in the lobby sometime Thursday afternoon (while everybody is at Hallett) before the downtown cruise if it all works out.

That's AWESOME have fun.

What Dragstrip are they using ?  If you are talking about Mid America in Tulsa, its the Tulsa Raceway Park. East Side of Tulsa just off of Hwy 169. Supposed to be a very nice Drag strip.

Rex Myers GT 40 coming to Mid America is great news.
