I wanted to thank Clois, Dean, Ray, and all of the volunteers that put on Run n Gun. The amount of work that you put into this event was incredible. Thank you for providing a venue that all of us crazy car nuts can get together at and run the heck out of our cars. I love all of the cars and look forward to mingling with the builders and drivers.
I have been working HARD since June building my new scratch built C5 Vette based Cobra. I know that I am technically a manufacturer but with the help of friends I build everything from scratch in my home, 7 bay, garage.
I took the car to run and gun despite not having it running. For 2 days my buddies and I worked on wiring it up, hooking up the fuel system, steering, seats, seat belts and mounting the body. The Cobra was literally painted the night before we left.
I got out on the track on Friday and was amazed at how the car ran. Despite pretty hard tires, (280 rating) I was able to post the fast time on the road course for all small block and big block cars running on street tires. Pretty satisfying.
I look forward to next year and am planning to build a new car to run in the Pro class. Take care all, John
