HOOVER FINDS NEW HOME ON SMALLER VENUES |
|
Tuesday, 15 May 2012 |
 Ed Hoover has returned to his roots.
The Pro Modified pioneer from Columbia, SC., made a name for himself
running the smaller venues as a Quick Eight racer long before the
volatile doorslammer division became a professional category. On any
given Sunday afternoon, Hoover and his pick-up truck towing an enclosed
trailer would roll through the gates of venues such as Shuffletown
Dragway located outside of Charlotte and Orangeburg.
Then he became a professional drag racer and the series grew to the
point where Shuffletown gave way to Rockingham and Orangeburg was
replaced with Darlington.
The duallie and enclosed trailer gave way to an 18-wheeler. His
independent operation was purchased by successful construction magnate
Paul Trussell.

DESPITE FIRST ROUND LOSSES, HOOVER MOVES UP IN POINTS |
|
Tuesday, 28 June 2011 |
Sometimes racing can be unkind. And there are times, it can be unkind, and still show a measure of favor.
For Trussell Motorsports, this is certainly the way their racing
schedule has turned out to be over the course of the last two weeks.
A DNQ, a broken transmission as an inserted alternate in the first
round, and inevitably eliminated early on Saturday at the NHRA Thunder
Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tenn., dropped the Irmo, SC-based team to
fourth in the championship standings.

HOOVER REACHES QUARTERS IN ETOWN, BRISTOL NEXT STOP |
|
Friday, 10 June 2011 |
The Trussell Motorsports Pro Modified Camaro entered the NHRA
SuperNationals with a wave of momentum following the team’s victory at
Atlanta. The end result was another strong showing and another
quarter-final finish.
Ed Hoover lost a tough second round race to eventual winner Danny Rowe in a battle of supercharged titans.
Hoover entered Saturday’s first round of eliminations as the 13th quickest qualifier with a 5.945 elapsed times.
Hoover then stepped up with a 5.939, 244.07 to beat Mike Knowles, who
ran an identical ET. The difference between the two cars was Hoover’s
quicker reaction time and the win-light.
