(This may have been posted on the forum previously, but if so it has been a long time and we've had many people join since then.)Here's a link to a 3-minute videocam recording from inside Ron Hall's Studebaker-powered Avanti in September 1993, on the actual run during which Ron posted an honest 200 MPH. He was the first and, AFAIK, to date the only person to have been officially recorded exceeding 200 MPH in a Studebaker-powered Studebaker.
Even Team Granatelli tried it in 1964, only to be denied by less than 4 MPH.
Ron's successful run took place over 15 years ago and he passed away only 29 months after this video was made, far too early, at age 46. Nonetheless, his accomplishment remains a milestone in the Studebaker hobby.
RIP Ron, for we know you are...and for everyone else, ENJOY!

Yeah, I don't know if Ron's wife is still receiving royalties from his Depends endorsement! [:0]
