I really want to make Run n Gun this year. George Anderson is a great guy and I want to run his track! Clois, Dean and all that are involved in putting on and running this event are fantastic and I appreciate their efforts to put on and run this event. Rick Lake is the best friend that you can have at this event. At my first Run n Gun I had to pull my engine 4 TIMES! Rick was there to help me, even helping most of the night.
I am finishing my new Speedster right now. I would run this car, not my Cobra. My Speedster which is Corvette based has been selected to be a featured car at this years Corvettes at Carlisle show in August. So, my car has to be done by then. This means that if I get to Run n Gun that I won't be building my car at the event, like I ususally do!
I will not miss not running the 1/4 mile. My car is set up for the Road Course not Drag racing. Drag Racing is very hard on the vehicle and after spending so much time and money building it I don't want to tear it up!
Most of our cars are not race cars. It is important that everyone drive within their ability and to the fitment of the car. I drive much slower than my car is capable of going because I don't want to wreck it and I don't want to get hurt. This event is for Fun, for meeting old friends and making new ones. I have a major conflict with the dates of the event with the major trade show of the year with my business. But, I am trying to work things out so that I can go. I encourage everyone to sign up! You'll be glad that you did! John
