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.
