Mooresville, NC - It was a beautiful warm weekend out in Bowling Green, KY for the next installment of the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car at the new NCM Motorsports Park. Detroit Speed engineer, Ryan Mathews, captured the GT class in the Detroit Speed 2012 "White Monster" Camaro Test Car.
The Detroit Speed sponsored autocross and the speed stop challenge morning sessions provided the perfect start to a full weekend of racing. Ryan Mathews running the 2012 "White Monster" Camaro put down some fantastic times and was in a groove all weekend long. Ryan captured first place in the GT autocross with Bryan Johnson finishing in 2nd place in his DSE "Equipped" 2013 Camaro. Ryan continued his fantastic Saturday by taking the speed stop challenge as well. Kyle running in the GTV class drove hard all Saturday but came up just short with second place finishes in the autocross and the speed stop challenge.
The Hot Lap Challenge took place Sunday and Ryan and Kyle were doing more of the same, putting down top times all day long. Ryan was able to finish 2nd in the hot lap challenge which guaranteed him the top spot in the GT class. Bryan Johnson was able to beat Ryan by about a second on the road course in his DSE "Equipped" 2013 Camaro which had him finishing in 2nd overall in the GT class. With Ryan already qualified, Bryan accepted the invite for Las Vegas. Ken Thwaits almost made it a DSE "Equipped" GT class sweep but finished two points out of the 3rd overall spot.
Kyle, driving the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car put down some of the fastest times of the weekend on the road course and barely edged out Brian Finch for 1st place. Although that 1st place finished helped, Kyle was still a few points away from 1st overall in the class and settled for a very respectable 2nd place finish. Congratulations to Brian Finch for his 1st place finish in his DSE "Equipped" 1971 Camaro and an invite to the season ending event in Las Vegas. Not only were Kyle and Ryan having all the fun, but Chris Porter, DSE's Project Manager brought home 3rd place overall in the GTV class in his 1986 Porsche 951.
This event was littered with DSE "Equipped" rides including Mark Turner who captured the design & engineering challenge in his Nova. Congrats Mark.
This was a great weekend for Detroit Speed and all the Detroit Speed "Equipped" vehicles as a whole. The team will now head back to the shop and prepare for the next Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car taking place June 20th - 21st at Michigan International Speedway.

Not great of me, which is probably why I never posted it, but this dog loved to lie like this. My mom would watch TV while sitting on the floor so that Tache could like like this.
Why was I sitting on the kitchen floor? It's anyone's guess.
This is the lamp which originally resided in downtown Lapeer around the turn of the 20th century. Someone (Gage?) had it moved to Port Austin, Michigan. Lapeer had replaced these old gas lamps with more modern ones. When Spauldings sold the cottage in Port Austin we exchanged it for a more modern one and took this one to our house in Lapeer, Michigan. When we sold the house in Lapeer we brought it down to Shreveport, Louisiana. It's in our backyard now looking at the bayou. I guess you could say it's a family heirloom.

This is a photograph from the finish of the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 27th August 2016 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 11:00. This is the fourth year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
We have a large set of photographs from the start and the finish of today's race on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157669860212434
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was warm summer weather for the entire race which made for warmer than usual running conditions There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each.
As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
