Thanks for all your kind words but I have to thank some folks too!
First and foremost I want to thank all the participants that were willing to put their cars out in the weather for the sake of Run n Gun. The Auto Cross looked like our cars were powered by a jet ski on a flat lake. Some of the smaller cars totally disappeared in a rooster tail. I personally never completed the course; I either Got Lost or my windshield or my face mask fogged up. The barrel race was a lot of fun and in my opinion it help everyone that was going to get on the very wet road course. There were some of us that just couldn't quit cutting donuts whether there was a barrel to go around or not. All of us EVENTUALLY found it back to the stop box. The Road Course was a full pucker power event as Tim Mauldin said. The winning time was a somewhere around 1:21 which for many would be a good time on dry pavement. Aaron is some kind of driver...I am sure his new wife has no idea what he had hanging out this weekend.
The Friday night banquet was a huge success due to the generosity of all of the members and guest. I am so glad I was able to attend this years Run n Gun because everyone of us became a much closer family. We were all pulling for each other and willing to help each other if needed. Good sports one and all and absolutely some of the best people I would ever want to be around.
Finally two more acknowledgements, I want to thank my wife Sharon (who is working as I type on the Final Results for our web site) and Dean Lampe's wife Lisa who rolled out of bed at 5:30 or 6:00am so they could be at the track for registration, check-in, and to post the times for all of our racers. These ladies are great and WE COULD NOT DO THIS EVENT WITHOUT THEM!
Lastly, I want to acknowledge Jay Nordstroms generosity and his life long commitment to Operation Comfort and Automotivation. Jay has been blessed and is willing to pass his good fortune on to these wounded or disabled soldiers. Everyone that attended the banquet was so darn generous it brought our bartender to tears. Thank you!
More as I get a little more organized.
