(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>This is it.\u00a0 We\u2019ve captured our last photos at the ECTA\u2019s Ohio Mile.\u00a0 The Wilmington Air Park will serve more of its primary function by continuously using all runways.\u00a0 We\u2019ve enjoyed having the venue only three miles from home and enjoyed the people even more.\u00a0 The LSR community is one of the best groups of folks around.\u00a0 Can\u2019t say enough good about them.\u00a0 More about that later.<\/p>\n

A few highlights\u2026.<\/p>\n

We have always liked Keith Thompson\u2019s blue, LS-powered 240Z and its LS-swapped S10 tow rig.\u00a0 The faux fuel injection stacks hiding the intake manifold is icing on the cake.\u00a0 Jeff Gentry\u2019s Brown Clown streamliner lost an engine at the Summer meet back in June.\u00a0 Plans were to attempt swapping in a borrowed Ford cup motor (from another racer), but time was not on their side.\u00a0 The backup plan was initiated as the Don Martin Team SCAATY Studebaker coughed up its potent SBC for the effort.\u00a0 That thrash was rewarded with a great performance, new bests, and displaying many of the great traits of the land speed crowd.<\/p>\n

Lastly was the very cool running of the Jesel Race Team\u2019s land speed brick (Dodge Ram Quad-cab) complete with twin turbos and plenty of weight being wheeled by none other than Pro Stock veteran, Larry Morgan.\u00a0 Larry went through rookie orientation, but was not required to run the normal, obligatory incremental, passes to get the green light for 200+.\u00a0 Seems he has plenty of 200-plus passes under his belt.\u00a0 When the dust settled (and this truck moves a LOT of air) Larry had clocked a best 216mph.\u00a0 While waiting in staging to make another attempt they determined the spark plugs likely had not been changed in a few years and the thrash began\u2026.only to be sidelined by rain that ultimately concluded the event.\u00a0 As we\u2019ve done for the last couple of events\u2026.below are the best speeds for most of the cars in this gallery.\u00a0 Enjoy.<\/p>\n
