HM Motorsports launched their season opener last weekend at 2011 IHRA Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour US 131 Motorsports Park – Martin, Michigan. “HM Motorsports was excited to be in the heat of battle last weekend without the threat of weather.” The team qualified for the race and had a delightful weekend. The 97 Ford Probe made several passes consistent within .01 of a second. The team got down to eight cars on Sunday to move up in points. We are tied in 11^{th place and moving forward.}

^{Also, the Team attended Milan Dragway May 21-22 for the Detroit Dragway reunion. The team ran exhibition where we signed autographs and distributed sponsors promotional material. HM Motorsports had a great time with the fans, sponsors, and competitors.}

After an eventful weekend at Summit Motorsports Park for the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, the team was unable to make any qualifying runs due to the weather conditions. Mother Nature did not allow us to get down the race track. However, we were able to spend some extra time with the fans by distributing our sponsor’s promotional material and fans getting photos of themselves in the race car. There were several families which thanked us for our hospitality towards their family. HM Motorsports success is due to our dedicated sponsors, teamwork, and never-ending desire to win.

Summit Motorsports Park for the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series race has been rescheduled for July 2-3 the week after the National event at Norwalk.

HM Motorsports will be heading to Milan Dragway May 21-22 for the Detroit Dragway reunion. The team will be running exhibition and Top Sportsman classes.

Preview of the shirts

The team was at the NHRA Lucas Oil Spring Spectacle of Speed at Lucas Oil Raceway, the first event of the North Central Division Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis. The 97 ford probe gain some extra hp compared to last year. This is going to be a fast season. The Team over powered the track during first qualifying pass. After reviewing the data the team decided to take some power away to make a clean pass down the racetrack. We were able to collect some valuable data to compare last year’s horsepower to this year with great improvements. Howard fell a little short first round when the car spun the tires down track which slowed down the Top Sportsman Ford Probe. The team is eager to get back in action at our next race.

HM Motorsports will be heading to Summit Motorsports Park for the next NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event, May 13-15 "Shirts will be available by the end of the week"

With a power level target of allot of horses. This is our goal to make as much power on motor then use the NOS when applicable. While simultaneously keeping the engine tractable enough to run on motor or NOS because on motor is where this engine will be doing business. Home will be beneath the hood of a '97 Ford Probe soon. Special thanks to Chris Holbrook as they assist the HM Motorsports team in tuning the 632 BBF for the 2011 race season. Howard was having a hard time watching the pulls on the dyno.

Thanks everyone for your support!!!

HM Motorsports headed to US 131 with every intention of bringing home the Iron Man. After attempting first round of qualifying for the Nitro Jam Top Sportsman field, HM Motorsports sheared the bolts off the ring gear leaving us broke. HM Motorsports went into action to replace the broken parts. The team was able to assemble and reinstall the new rear end before the next qualifying session. Thanks to the great guys at Moser for all their time and dedication at the track. The next qualifying session the team was able to go down the track.

On a positive note, the team loaded up the race car with no broken parts. The team is now on a mission to dyno the 632 before our next race in Columbus! If time permits the team would like to attend Milan’s Friday Night heads up race the beginning of Sept.! This is a testimony to the team’s dedication and responsibility of trying our best to represent our supporters and fans!

HM Motorsports made it to the semi-finals on Saturday during the 2 Day Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour, North Stars Division 3, in New Alexandria, Penn. First round was a nail bitter, with our reaction time .004 and running dead on the dial to barely catch the win light. Then Howard fought his way to the semi-finals. He had a .020 reaction time and ran dead on the dial, but lost the finish line strip by inches. The competition was fierce all weekend long, but HM Motorsports fought to obtain the semi-final victory.

Sunday’s race was a continue fight. The car was still running the same numbers and it was going to be a race to the finish line. First round the car ran on the dial with .003 to capture the win. Second round lost a tight race, when the Ford Probe decided to make too much power by breaking out. The ‘97 Ford Probe made several passes all weekend within .01 of our dial-in. This is a testimonial to the quality parts our sponsors supply. A special thanks to all of the fans/crew/supporters.

HM Motorsports was in the finals during the Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour. This was the first of the two day North Stars Division 3 race at Mountain Park Dragway in Clay City, Kentucky. First round the car was on a mission it went one off the dial to capture the win. Then Howard fought his way to the finals. He had a .011 reaction time, and then charged down the track to lose the finish line strip by 0.002. This was a close race lost by inches, but Howard was glad to obtain the runner-up title.

Sunday’s race was a capture of what was happening all weekend. This type of racing is the manner of winning/losing the race at the finish line by inches. The ‘97 Ford Probe made several passes within .01 all weekend.

The ‘97 Ford Probe worked perfectly, which is a testament to the HM Motorsports Team’s work ethic and preparation. HM Motorsports is focused on innovation and teamwork, the team contributes our success to our loyal support sponsors.

HM Motorsports had a busy last few weeks with figuring out some mechanical issues with our 632. Last Sunday the team was challenged with changing motors in the 97 Ford Probe. The team went out testing on Wednesday at Milan Dragway to gather some data for the up coming race at Byron Illinois. We got a chance to tune some things with the engine and it worked out great. On Friday the team headed to the two day race at Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour, Division 5 at Byron Illinois. After driving through several thunder storms we arrive at Byron late Friday night.

After a long delay due to track preparations, HM Motorsports fought his way through the field and got down to 5 cars for Saturday's race (which the race continue into Sunday) and lost a close race on Sunday. It was a good weekend, we were able to promote our sponsors product to many fans.

It was safe to say that many new HM Motorsports Racing fans were made on the weekend due to the performances on track and off.

HM Motorsports returns from an eventful weekend at Summit Motorsports Park. With a record attendance of over 30,000 spectators and race fans, HM Motorsports took extra time for the fans to take pictures and get promotional from our sponsors. The team qualified 25 out of a 31 car field. The team made strong qualifying runs Fri/Sat., but ran into some electrical issues on Sunday. We were able to make 1st round, but ran faster than our dial-in. Team is home sorting through what needs to be done to get ready for our next race in 2 weeks! Thanks to our supporters for making HM Motorsports look so good!

We hope your holiday season was plentiful and you are ready to start the 2010 race season! HM Motorsports is busier than ever rebuilding the mountain motors and performing updates to the chassis! Our goal is to have the car “race ready” by mid February, to begin racing in early March. Pictures and updates will be posted on the progress. As noted, we are always striving to reach the finish line first to put our sponsors ahead of the competition.

Thanks race fans for your support

HM Motorsports headed to Milan Dragway for the final Quick 16 event. The team was looking for revenge from Norwalk 10 grand Nationals.

HM Motorsports 2009 race season is coming to a close. There is just one big race to have the opportunity to race for the final spots for the “Top 20” for IHRA. HM Motorsports finished 1st in IHRA Top Sportsman last year in his division and this year was in the top 6th positions. The top 3 positions in each IHRA division get the opportunity to race in Rockingham for the “Top 20” positions. HM Motorsports fell short by one round of racing which would qualify the team to be a part of the “Top 20” in Rockingham. This has been a great season promoting and advertising for our sponsors. HM Motorsports would like to thank Race fans, Sponsors, Crew, Racers, and Family for your generous support and we look forward to a prosperous 2010 race season.

As the Crew and Kids say "Never Give Up"

HM Motorsports gives St. Charles Catholic School a taste of what is like to go over 190 mph during an open house event. The activities included mass, face painting, pictures in the race car, and sharing sponsor advertisements. It was an extraordinary event to promote the product we use in our race car, and to share our passion for the sport of drag racing with help of our sponsors. HM Motorsports would like to everyone for your continuous support.

The team was in Pittsburg last weekend fighting to gain positions. The team missed Fridays race due to prior commitments, but aggressively race to make up ground on Saturday. First round Howard nail the tree with a 0.0001 reaction time which made driving top end very easy, then followed it up a couple rounds later with a 0.003 light running on the dial-in. The Team got down to 5 cars on Saturday. We are heading to Osceola for the final point’s race for Division 5. The Team needs to win on Saturday...

HM Motorsports is off to the harsh weather in Florida. The team made one qualifying run on Friday and two on Saturday. They were in 12th position on the qualifying sheet. Tack conditions kept changing all weekend. After a long weekend the team lost an extremely close race. Both drivers caught outstanding lights, .005 for Dave Lyon and .004 for Howard Michael. Howard fell short at the end of the race track running too fast. Howard’s’ Ford Probe ran 7:854 on a 7:86 dial. “Broke out by 0.004” The team would like to thank all of their sponsors and fans for there support. We will see you at our next event.

HM Motorsports' 2008 season has come to a close. With your support, we had an awesome season! The Season racing highlights included three finals and winning the IHRA Division 5 championships. This year, teamwork was truly defined: from the crew working long hours to ensure the car is race-ready, to you as valuable sponsors/fans supplying us with parts/support to get the job done. One person cannot win a championship; it takes teamwork, and we truly appreciate your support. On November 15, 2008, we will be at the IHRA banquet in Cincinnati, Ohio to accept our awards. We hope to see you there. Also, we will be in attendance at the PRI show in December.

Once again, our success is enviable with your support. Thank you for making 2008 memorable for HM Motorsports!

Wow!!! After racing at US 131 in Martin, Mi, the team goes to the Finals again at Quaker City Raceway Park. Quaker City had a double point’s race for IHRA Division 1. This race would contain two races in one weekend. The team worked aggressively to get the car race ready. In Saturday’s event, HM Motorsports got down to the semi-finals. Then on Sundays race, the driver was doing some excellent driving, averaging reaction times was 0.010 driving both ends of the track. In the finals, we lost the race by -0.006 at the finish line. This makes for three final rounds this year. The team would like to thank everyone for their time and efforts over the pass two months in getting the car ready for the next race when it didn't seem possible. Especially to the crew cheif who has spent several days and nights out in the shop. It is with that dedication to our sponsors/fans/team that strives Howard to do his job in the driver seat, and get the team into the Winners Circle!

I cannot believe it’s the middle of the season. HM Motorsports is in the finals after 2 months of mechanical issues. The team is in a come back mode! The team received Runner-Up at US 131 point’s meet of IHRA Division 3/5 in Michigan! The crew chief decided to take matters into her owe hands. After changing head gaskets on Wednesday, the team decided to go to the track early to resolve some carburetor issues. Working around the carburetor issues, the driver had one goal to win an iron man on his birthday/anniversary for the team! Driver was doing some excellent driving throughout the race and in the final round, caught a nearly perfect reaction time! Howard caught a 0.0009 but the other car was not giving up, he caught a 0.008. Howard drove down to the end and went too fast by 0.009 of a second.

The team would like to thank all our sponsors for your continued support. Power is inevitable with your help!

The team is in the process of updating the pictures on this website, but the team felt it was necessary to give an update of our current status.

This event will continue @ Columbus Ohio where it will be a continuation of the Norwalk race on Friday, then continuing with the Columbus race.

Point Standing:

HM Motorsports is currently in NHRA 2^{nd place.}

The first race and HM Motorsports is in the finals. The 2008 race season is off to a great start! The team received Runner-Up at the first point’s meet of NHRA Division 3 down in Florida! The first qualifying pass, the high horsepower Probe got up on the tire too quick and made a hard right turn. The crew chief decided to take some power out of the car and not over power the track conditions. The second qualifying was cancelled due to high winds. The third qualifying run was perfect, running a 7:64 @ 176 mph. First round, HM Motorsports received the Bounty Hunter Money for taken out the #1 qualifier. Howard was doing some excellent driving and in the semi final round, caught a perfect reaction time & was fighting his way into the finals! The team lost their spot in the Championship Circle due to a slight starting line disadvantage with both cars running on their dial-in, & .006 finish line.

After coming off a good weekend at Canadian Nationals at Toronto Motorsports Park, HM Motorsports is looking forward to the race at Milan Dragway. While at Milan the team was faced with several obstacles. The team did an excellent job using the Kestrel data systems to predict the weather from one day to the next. First round on Saturday the temperatures were close to 80 degrees, and Sunday morning the temperatures dip into the 60's. Good thing for the superior product our sponsors provided for HM Motorsports to give us and edge over the competition. HM Motorsports got down to 3 cars and suffered a little front end damage. Excellent job and great season for the team!

The Canadian Nationals got into a rain delay pushing the race to Monday. Then the decision was made to race 1/8 mile instead of 1/4 mile. It changed our game plan, but it was not a challenge that would slow down the team. Howard qualified number 21 out of 48 cars in the field. HM Motorsports fought their way through the field and got down to 5 cars.

Is HM Motorsports going bracket racing? There were over 600 cars in the field at Norwalk’s 10 Grand National. Howard and the team got down to 24 cars then could not make the call for the next round. Racing at this style of a race is good experience for the team to keep them ahead of the competition.

HM Motorsports had the car displayed at several car shows throughout the year promoting the products of the teams’ sponsors. The team won best in class. We would like to thank all sponsors for the promotional material they have provided. Thanks again for an excellent season.

Howard and the team are working hard to find more power to keep up with the competition. The team is learning the second NOS system on the car when to turn it on and off to insure no damage when in use, and reduce the amount of tire shake issues. Still fighting to keep in the top ten. They are on learning at a rapid pace, but could use some help to support this goal.

HM Motorsports is off to a quick start in the 2007 racing season! The team received Runner-Up at the first points meet of NHRA Division 3!
