Latest Hallsville News...

There BIG MONEY NO-E RACE was postponed to Dec.4th. Also postponed to Dec. 4th was the SMP Car Show.

Does this mean that our race is going to have company? What was it like last year? Were we the only ones there?

I have a dimage 7hi 5meg camera with a 256meg card, and a few extra lenses.. I could bring it, and you could use it if you wanted :) Just might want to bring a laptop so you can download from the flashcard when it fills up. Let me know,

Last year we had a relatively low turnout. You could make all the passes you wanted.

With two events now being moved to the same as ours, it may be a little more crowded. Who ever gets there first, may want to reserve us a good size area.

I had 2 identical cameras

They both used double A rchargables and Smart Media cards - It would cost me 300 in batteries and cards to get back to what I had ... Im not going to put more money in that old camera

Just like Im not going to put any money in my old truck

Thanks True Blue :beer:

I shot those pics with a Cannon CoolPix 5700. With most of the pics I go into Photoshop and do an auto adjust on the levels and sharpen the pic just a tad more.

December 4, 2004 (rain date is December 11)
Hallsville, TX
$30 (Race fee includes T&T)
$15 (T&T only)
Bracket Racing (flexible dial-in / set your own dial-in on every run)

Please note:

If there are enough folks, we can have a Championship bracket and a Consolation bracket like we did last year. There were not enough people last year to make this work. Otherwise, we will have just one bracket with first round buy-backs. If there is enough interest in having a heads-up class, we might be able to come up with a few bucks for the winner.

Plaques for (brackets only):
Lowest ET
Best Reaction time
Closest to Dial-in

Trophies for (brackets only):
1st Place
2nd Place
Semifinalist (2)

As always, I am open for suggestions on how to make this event more fun so please don't be shy about chiming in.

Yep. Count me out of the bracket racing, but I'd like to get some baseline #s before possibly slapping the "big blower" on it. ;)

Here's the latest from weather.com: http://www.weather.com/activities/ot...locid=USTX0567

I'm looking forward to this as I haven't seen that part of the country. I've never been to East Texas - alot of pine I hear.

Hey guys, how much 'threat' of rain will cause this thing to be postponed. Its really going to suck for me to drive all the way down and it rains because I have to go to my company Christmas party in Tunica (south of Memphis) Friday night, then turn around and come to Hallsville sat morning. Sure would suck to drive 500+ miles (one way) and it end up raining. We have about 8 or so guys coming down from central arkansas and just kinda curious about weather. The closer it gets, the higher the rain probabilities get :(

Frank,
Don't get me wrong, I like you, but you beat me last year at Topeka, last year at this event, and more recently this year at Topeka, so stay home please.

Actually the weather report now looks pretty bleak... which sucks b/c I will not be able to go on the 11th (both my kid's b'days are in December and that's the big party day).
12-02-2004, 02:28 PM
Frank02L

Well, Weather forecasts are like opinions which are like @$$holes...

weather.com is actually looking better. Less chance of rain now than there was at 9:00am this morning.

Mark, Nothing personal buddy! :D I will probably not bracket race this year. I'm going to see how much abuse a stock block will handle! Gonna put 'er on 'kill' mode!

I thought it was always kill mode. Except for that one time you let me beat you on the tree so you could make it a close race. :)

My truck is in the shop having the right lower arm assy replaced. They are also giving me a new wheel because the inside lip was chewed up. It may not be ready until Saturday afternoon http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif.

The good news is that it's 100% covered by warranty. Thanks Jeff http://www.talonclub.com/forum/image...s/thumbsup.gif

Okay, I take it back.http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif I do give you some credit, though, because you passed the name onto me.

Thanks Jacob!

I talked to the tech working on my truck, Andy, and told him Jacob sent me. He asked if that was the black L with the black powder coated wheels. I said yes and he walked directly over to Vince and they squared me away. Vince was already working with me but this was the icing on the cake.

I am hoping to have it by tomorrow evening. If I get it early enough Saturday I'll make the drive out solo.

See you guys tomorrow.

Weather looks good as of right now....around 60* is what I am reading partly cloudy.

Also looks like 30 Lightnings showing including 7 from Arkansas and Blue Oval Forever from Louisianna. Maybe Brooks will make it too again this year.
