Not if you have a 4:55!
Some years back I raced Hallett with a 4:55 in my Spitfire, broke it later
that season, went back to Hallett with my 4:11 in. Same engine. 4 seconds
slower.
Hallett IS a very fun track, especially for LBCs, but it is not a high-speed
track. It is, rather, a handling track. You'll make more time getting off a
corner better than the next guy, than you will by top speed at the far end
of the straights.
Sounds like a fun event. However, I'm racing at Gateway that weekend, hoping
to do something in the Mid-Am Championship double-points finale.
