Ike was entered in six events at the 1932 National Air Races, with Benny Howard at the controls for three races, in which he claimed two first-place and one second-place finishes. Both Ike and Mike were raced through the 1937 season, with 1935 being the banner year for the Howard camp. His racers won the Bendix, Thompson, and Greve trophies.
Ike was sponsored by Chevrolet, so it carried the name "Miss Chevrolet" on the spine behind the cockpit. It was equipped with a special carburetor which allowed it to capture the world's speed record for inverted flight.
