The Story of 'Old Stewball' Tom Hurley – St Paul, Texas
The name Stewball comes from a song performed by Peter, Paul and Mary in the
60’s. It was about a race horse that never drank water, it always drank wine.
After that is sat under a car port until 2000 when the transformation began to
make a Bonneville Land Speed racer out of it. In 2013 Stewball made its debut
at the Bonneville Speedweek for its first runs. In 2015 Stewball ran at the El
Mirage Dry Lake for licensing runs where it ran 174 MPH. At the 2016 Speedweeks,
it ran 194 MPH in a licensing run where the front end hit on a rough track
surface and was damaged. In the 2018 Speedweeks, this ’57 Chevy had a top speed
of 217 MPH and averaged 209 MPH over a timed mile.
