I might be able to make the September and/or the October events.  I'll have to see how my schedule shapes up.

Hallett also does their HPDE events (they call it HST) on the same weekends as COMMA. Makes for a fun weekend, with new guys getting lots of exposure at how Legends, Spec Miatas, open wheel and other classes go and how the racing is.

A lot of the COMMA guys there started driving at their HPDE events, and saw something they liked.

They also run the track both ways. Standard direction is CCW, but a few weekends they run CW, keeps everyone on their toes.

After thinking about this overnight I'm even more interested in trying to make it to an event.  I'd run either my Formula Ford or optimistically, a yet to be built, or even purchased Spec. Miata.  Does anyone know what kind of car counts those classes are likely to have and what kinds of cars typically run in the open wheel class?

I've been there with the PCA and some HST and loved it. Only track I've driven. Before going, I watched a lot of video to get prepped. This one of a Formula Vee race is one of my favorites of the track:

They're usually pretty well attended.  Note that Hallett runs Spec Racer Fords and some other purpose built cars in the open wheel races, so between them and the FFs there can be quite a few cars from different open wheel classes on the track at the same time.  This is from the COMMA rule book, which is available on the Hallett website: "The Open-wheel classes include all open-wheel and closed- wheel single-seat purpose-built race cars such as: Formula Vee, Formula Continental, Formula Mazda, Formula Ford, Spec Racer Ford, World Sports Racer, and Ariel Atoms."

Spec Miata and Legends car are by far the most populated classes at Hallett,  any given weekend I would guess 12-20 of each group.  Open wheel varies, sometimes 6-10, sometimes just 3 or 4 show up.
