HALLETT MOTOR RACING CIRCUIT

Fifty Years of Speed – Hallett Celebration Weekend

July 18 - 19, 2026

All Makes and Skill Levels Welcomed!

Two Tracks. One Weekend.

Track Direction:  Saturday - Original | Sunday - Backwards

Length: 2.8 mi      Corners: 11

This summer, Hooked on Driving Midwest invites you to a truly one-of-a-kind anniversary event — Fifty Years of Speed, celebrating 50 years of motorsports history at the legendary Hallett Motor Racing Circuit.

And to honor that legacy, we’re doing something special…

🔁 Two Tracks. One Weekend.

• Saturday: Run Hallett in its Original (traditional) direction — the way generations of drivers have learned its rhythm, elevation changes, and classic flow.

• Sunday: Flip the script and experience Hallett’s rare and exhilarating “Backwards” configuration — a completely different challenge that transforms braking zones, turn-in points, and reference markers.

It’s the same legendary asphalt, but it drives like two entirely different tracks — all in one unforgettable weekend.

🎉 Celebrate the Legacy. Drive the Legend.

For half a century, Hallett has rewarded smoothness, punished mistakes, and built lifelong memories. From its elevation changes to its old-school character, this is a driver’s track in the purest sense — and experiencing it both directions is the ultimate tribute to its history.

Whether you’re a longtime Hallett regular or turning your first laps here, this anniversary format delivers something few drivers ever get to experience.

🏎️ What to Expect

• Two full days of HPDE on one iconic circuit — driven two ways

• Original direction Saturday / Backwards Sunday

• Run groups for all experience levels, from first-timers to advanced drivers

• Professional coaching emphasizing safety, precision, and adaptability

• A relaxed, welcoming paddock celebrating 50 years of racing culture

• All makes and models welcome

• Lunch included for registered drivers (additional guest lunches available for advanced purchase)

🔥 Why This Weekend Matters

Running Hallett both directions highlights just how special this track is. What feels familiar on Saturday becomes a fresh mental and technical challenge on Sunday — new braking references, new corner priorities, and new opportunities to sharpen your skills.

If you love historic tracks, authentic motorsports culture, and the thrill of mastering something rare, this is the weekend.
