Run N Gun-2010 Lets be Honest Who's Coming

[rustyBob]

I think if ANYONE is truely interested in attending R@G they would show up even if it was being held in Bolivia or Peru or even Buttheadastan....just because its not in your backyard this year dont bash where it is being held....if you cant make it maybe someone who never attended before will have a chance because it has moved this year to a closer location to them....there are several manufacturers that are fairley close to Hastings and maybe they could get more involved and ask there customers if they plan on attending....B@B, Hurricane, Shell Valley,and Lonestar are all close and im sure theres a few i forgot about....the guys are working hard to make this happen....i hope for the hobbys sake it does....

Wow, I am overwhemed with the responses I have received from former Run n Gunners and those that have never been. PM's, Emails, and on the phone last night until about 9:00 PM. Some of you had some great suggestions that we can implement into the event. Two big manufacturers stepped up with guarantees that put us over the top. Keep an eye on this site over next few days and a lot of the questions will be answered.

It would be better if there was more to do in the evening for the ladies to go along with it . Tieing it to another event or an area where there is entertainment would be a better idea. It is a long way to go for a drag strip and Hasting is a nice town but what else is there ? .

Regarding the above, I have spent a good deal of time talking with George Anderson track owner and former Run N Gun Director and that question will be answered as well. Some of you that have not had the pleasure of meeting George Anderson will find that he is the consumate host and will ensure everyone leaves wanting to come back. Keep checking back later this week while we put some more polish on this 23rd year of Run N Gun.

Clois- did you still want to meet up with Rusty Bob, Bob Kallio (midstates owner) and myself, so we can have a cobra caravan to George's ?

Both Bob K. and I live in Lincoln Ne.

Clois Harlen I am coming to Hastings either way. Have a new trailer to carry the car in. I am going to try out MPH. Counting the days for the 2 day haul. !,430 miles solo. The guys from the south are coming 1,500+ miles. Looking forward to a new track and more fun. Rick L.

Kevin,

I am sorry I overlooked your post and I have no excuse! I think Dean and I will be arriving on Wednesday noon. I will be coming straight up I-35 with several guys from the New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas and I believe Dean will be traveling across I-70/I-80 which might be a better scenario for your caravan. For those coming from the Southwest that would like to join us we will try and meet at the Oklahoma and Kansas border just south of Wichita about 8:00 am on Wednesday September 22, 2010. We can refine the place and time a little better in the coming weeks.

No problem buddy.

The caravan sounds like a lot of fun. Six other cars and myself, did this on the Hot Rod Power Tour, and was a great time !

I would appreciate a list of people that would be traveling and want to join in. We could either share a hotel room or my sister lives about a hour away, and we're welcome to stay there. I think,... I have rustybob talked into attending and I need to speak with Bob Kallio from Midstates/Shell Valley Cobra, as we both near Lincoln Ne. We all could meet for breakfast & fuel.

The photographer and possibly Jim Youngs, of Kit Car Builder Magazine will be there for the photo shoot & interview about my Cobra & the new side oiler engine build. Very exciting.

(I hope to the Cobra God is with me, to get my motor is done, in the car and tested in time)

We'll be traveling on I-80 from Lincoln Ne.
If anyone wants to meet us as we go, let me know where you can join us.

I am sure as the event gets closer you will have several join you.

I have revised the "Run N Gun Schedule" to reflect the expected turnout of 50 participants and the resulting track times:

I have the sessions broken up into three groups which will give everyone at least 7 sessions per day. If you want more sessions on Friday night because you feel like you need more track time come and talk to me and I bet we can make it happen! By the way this is not a race but we do reward those who posts the best times in their group. Timing is scored each lap via the transponders we provide at no cost to you. Of course if you register a time of 55 seconds as Dean Lampe did when he choose to cut through the infield then we will disallow that time, you really need to run the full course )
