HALLETT MOTOR RACING CIRCUIT
Hallett MRC is the Oklahoma Mustang Club’s home track and often times, is the first road course ever for many of our OMC members. Hallett MRC hosts a local racing series, seasonal HPDE (locally titled as High Speed Touring, or HST) events, Motorcylce Lap Days, VIP Track days as well as a wide-range of private events. Hallett Membership discounts are available to those OMC members that attend the yearly HPDE Safety Briefing, so look to the events list during the February/March timeframe every year.
The OMC attends the HPDE/HST events three or four times a season and we also do Pony Drive to the track, where OMC members can sign up for ride-alongs with our OMC drivers. The Pony Drive is some fast fun and is also a seasonal club picnic! Contact our Pony Drive Coordinator or the HPDE Director for more details on Hallett or the drive up to the yearly event!
From the Hallett website:
Nestled in the Osage Hills, 35 miles west of Tulsa, OK, Hallett Motor Racing Circuit (HMRC) stands as one of the most challenging and historic racecourses in America with a vibrant community that celebrates passion for automobiles, motorcycles, and karting. For over 40 years, HMRC has hosted professional and amateur racing events, major car manufacturers, automobile and motorcycle clubs, and is renowned for the scenic beauty of the track’s rolling hills and winding tarmac.
HALLETT MRC – RUNNING COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Hallett Motor Racing circuit is a 1.8 mile, 10-turn road racing track that has blind turns and elevation changes, and it can be run both counter-clockwise (traditional) or clockwise for a completely different experience. Here’s a quick video of an OMC member driving Hallett MRC in the CCW direction. The video gives a good perspective on the layout of the road course as well as a typical driving line for a higher horsepower, rear-wheel drive vehicle:
HALLETT MRC – RUNNING COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Here’s another video of an OMC member driving Hallett MRC in the CW direction. It’s said that the CW direction is a bit more technical, and it takes some time to get the turn and track flow down! Note that most “uphill sections” of the course are now down and T1 is a fast, downhill sweeper to the right! T10 in this direction can be either a single or double apex.
