2012 Mid Ohio Vetter Challenge Results

I just got back from the long ride back home( ~ 5200 miles total) from the competition in Ohio and some work in Kentucky. I'm sorry I wasn't able to post the results sooner but I didn't get the official results right away and then I wasn't in position to post them.

1. Fred Hayes, 143.6 mpg ( Hayes Diesel streamliner , overall winner)
2. Vic Valdes, 119 mpg ( Kawasaki 250EX streamliner )
3. ? Van de Ven, 106.4 mpg ( Hayes Diesel MD670A , used B30 diesel , alternate fuel winner )
4. Ben Scloop 108.5 mpg ( Yamaha 185 streamliner )
5. Alan Smith 101.9 mpg ( Kawasaki 250EX Vetter/Smith streamliner )
6. Craig Vetter 84.8 mpg ( Honda Helix Vetter streamliner)
7. ? Boyd 57.6 mpg ( B50 diesel powered car)

Other notables who did not meet the Vetter Challenge 4 grocery bag carrying rule :
Scott Endler 105.6 mpg, Honda CBR250
Keith Gerlach 85.6 mpg, Kawasaki 2012(?)Ninja 250
? Dennnis 52.3 mpg, 1973 Honda CB350F
? Weaver 51.8 mpg, Honda 650
? Goff 48.1 mpg , HD Sportster

Electric Bikes
? Gelbien, 1.82 cents/ mile
? Podolefsky , 2.07 cents/mile

The Ohio Vetter Challenge was awesome!! Lots of very cool machines and so were the people. It was great to meet forum friends Scott and Ben in person as well make other new friends. We got to display our bikes and got lots of attention. Craig was the AMA Vintage Days Grand Marshall and he and Fred Hayes gave some great presentations. I had to go to a job in Kentucky and missed Sunday's events but the AMA Vintage Days was a great event to host the second Mid Ohio Vetter Challenge.

Re: 2012 Mid Ohio Vetter Challenge Results

Five entrants over 100 mpg.
You got 2nd, and best gas-powered.
Craig himself down at 6th place. That's a good thing, it means the project has grown beyond just one man.


Good work, everyone.
