Looking for the results from the first event at the Ohio Mile?
Posted on May 1, 2012
Please be patient, it takes time to get home, back to our real jobs and compile all the new records since just about every run was a record. We are shooting for Sunday, April 6 to get it all posted. Please, no phone calls as that will just delay processing the info.

With the number of entries and the constant threatening weather I think everyone the fab four as they are sometimes called, all the volunteers that stayed out in the weather two long days and all of us competitors and crew member made everything work like a well oiled and sometimes wet machine.
You have other jobs, we all thought you worked four long weekends a year!
Thanks for the great place and making a plan work.

What car was george galimore driving?
It looks like he has the track record. At least I made it into the top 5.
This was a pretty darn good turn out and 14 cars got into the 200 mph club. I think that is just spectacular.
Way to go everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I mean everyone not just the 200 mph club members.

P.S. I drive the slow ass white econobox(evo 2).

Actually, you drive the "slow" evo2 quite well. Great job for the win Mike!
We ordered our rear wing and Pranger is redoing the front suspension. Are you going to show up in June for round 2?
I don't know if you saw the video of Brian peddling the Geezer2.
Here it is:

Hooley 'only' went 223.554mph

George has the blue second gen firebird. Hes best pass at maxton was 223... so he bumped it a bit in wilmington

Congratulations George for the fastest speed of the meet. The top speed of the very first Ohio Mile.
We were just thrilled to be at 223.554. Wow, and we weren't expecting that much. Every thing worked for us on Sun. Well maybe except for running off the end of the track. That issue is fixed now. I have all ready made a gear change and prepping for the next time we get to go. Must save some money.
Thanks to all the fine people who put this event on. It must take lots and lots of time and dedication to make it happen. Our crew is just waiting for the next time. I talked to several people that have something in the works and wanting to get there. Fun was had by all.
Just Glade To Be Here

Hooley it was great to see you again and I am glad your Studebaker ran so well.
We have to compare notes sometime,, you have going fast down pat and I am real good at getting slowed down,, LOL,,, now I need some of your speed and you need some better brakes or my lightning fast reflexes on chute deployment...LOL...
See you soon and thanks for all the words of encourgement over the years.

With a crew that size, couldn't a guy be PUSHED into the "club"? :-D
-
I couldnt afford the tee shirt bill for that crew.
Joe
-
Could get a discount -- looks like one size fits all.
-
Stan - I took another look - you are correct - they certainly had to kill a lot of polyesters to make those shirts.
-
Do they say "Trustee" on the back? or "CALTRANS"? :-D
-
I couldnt afford the tee shirt bill for that crew.
Joe
Joe, They probably won't have any tee shirts this year! How do you think Hooley fixed that second chute! :-D

Woody I guess they took "Drop the Laundry" literally ??
All kidding aside, Hooley and Crew are a Class act,, hmm and the Studebaker is so Cool... but ya know I am partial to them 53 and 54 Stude's !!!
Charles
-
Yeah -- and the hardtops are so much prettier -- and faster!
-
Stan - Now you did it ...
Joe
-
Joe,, all I can say is when I do get to Bonneville, I am looking forward to having a face to face chat with Stan. I am sure he can't wait either,,, it will sure be nice to meet.

Well, I gotta tell you most of the crew can't run fast enough for any speed . One of the guys in the picture commented after we were back home
" That the hardiest I ever worked for a free T shirt"
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped over the years. We have had over 50 different crew members over the years, they come from all over the country
I didn't have any trouble finding the crew at the salt. They were easy to see.
T-SHIRTS FOR SALE.
hehehe
It helped to have ADPRO of Claremore for a sponser. They do the shirts.
Hooley

Hooley --- looks like when you pick your crew or more likely, when they pick you, the consideration is to look for the right bodies to fit into the one size fits all XXL Tee shirts. There is a lot of truth that your crew probably made 11 cents an hour based on the compensation of a tee shirt. We are all jealous of your ability to recruit a crew in those numbers.
Joe

Joe,
It has been a lot of fun involving friends and friends of friends and sometimes people just going our way in the land speed experiences. When there would be someone new that hadn't been to the salt [or where ever we were at] see it for the first time always brought the memories I had when it was all new to me. It has been one hell of a ride and it just keeps going.

Hooley, Congatulations on your Ohio results I'm betting it was a little smoother then Beeville. As for his crew, I had the pleasure of pitting next to them in Beeville last May and thought they were a great bunch and really new what they were doing. Wish I had paid a little more attention to how they did things but was wound up in my own problems.
-
Hay Chris,
Your're right about being a little smoother than Beeville but Beeville was good except for that little rise at the end of the track. I think they fixed that .
I am sure glad it looked like we new what we were doing. We have threatened to change the name to "Over Our Heads Racing" cause that is where we are at most of the time. We always try to have fun no matter what.
Thank you for the kind words,
Hooley

Speaking of race team names....... A good friend of mine is a horse trainer and he and a bunch of his friends (not including me) went in together on a race horse. The horse's name?
"Lost Britches".
Might be a great name for a LSR team.

I raised a good running horse once named him On The Nose, had lot's of potential sold off three 1/4 shares and sent him to a trainer in Ok. He got hurt in the trainers barn the first night there, was never able to run after that.
Stable boy threw hay down into his stall at 3:00 am in his first night in a new barn and he burst threw two gates and one fence.
Moral don't change brands of fuel the night before race day,
