The goal - Hallett!

Hallett is a nice 1.8 mile 10 turn road course in Oklahoma. It has 80 feet of elevation change and is considered Technically Difficult. It has wide, grassy run-off areas and zero concrete or Armco barriers. Hallett is unique in that it can be run in either clockwise or counter-clockwise directions ­ making it two completely different race courses.


Hallett also has a nearly monthly open track day for street cars. I'm trying to get the XJ-S ready for a late spring or early fall run, dragging along a few friends with a '71 Datsun 240Z and a modified 1959 Jaguar Mark II.


My plan is to continue breaking down the XJ-S. Anything that doesn't help accelerate, brake, turn, or make the car road legal is dead weight and comes off.  Additional brake cooling, very good brake fluid, track capable pads, good suspension bushings, shocks from this decade, new tires, racing helmet, steering lock removal, the list goes on and on.

Busy Busy.

   But mostly on other projects. A deck, a shooting range, replacing a cell phone, and so on. Also now working 6 days a week.
   The XJ-S is currently mostly stripped. I need to find a few pictures of that. Next Project, building a rolling chassis rotisserie.
   Dad's XJS is likely to join mine in the garage soon. It appears to be consuming excessive amounts of coolant.
