I accidently deleted the post about his 207 mph run while editing it.

So, unless Fatcat can restore it here is a link to the story that was in the old post.  Also this has more text in it and also River1's pictures and some new neat pictures that Sodbuster took.

Here is a link to the story on the HAMB. I just copy/paste-ed from the orginal post that you seem to have deleted. I will get some more pix emailed to you in the next couple of days.

Sum, or anyone else who can answer.

When we were looking at the pits at Hooley's car, I noticed the neat setup for the canopy.  Looked like there were some brackets drilled into the salt and the posts fit into them.  There were also some neat connectors that all the poles fit into.  What I want to know is was this a setup that someone else had already and Hooley found it, or was this more of the quality engineering that this entire operation has shown.  

At the time we were there, I didn't realize that this was a first time run, or I would have asked then.  For anyone who was not there, Hooley's operation and everyone concerned, is a really class operation.

the canopy was sumner's. he bought it from a swap meet vendor that was going out of business. the connectors aren't custom as my bro in law has a canopy just like it. where to get some just like it i have no clue, i think they use to be common till the EZ up kind came about.
