Run N Gun Important Announcement

[BT SNAKE]

WoW!!
Great post Mr Lake! I couldn't have said it any better.
Sharon was absolutely the top player in those administrative details. She and Lisa were a good team.
I so much appreciate their efforts as well as Clois and all the others that chipped in to make things work.
I believe the Clois did the right thing by passing it over to George. He will do what ever it takes to keep R&G going. He is one of us and loves this hobby we share together. With George you never know what will be coming up but you can bet it will be entertaining and fun. I cannot think of a better place to have our National event. Georges facility has room for more than just track work. I'm sure he is already planning things that will suit others who may not want to track. Who knows maybe they will bring back the show and shine or the cruise. Whatever George does it will be with flare.

I would like to thank all of you for your kind words; you humble me with your praise.

While Clois and Dean worked all year on the event my participation was usually just a week or so long. I remember the first year I was terrified, I was told I would be working with someone from the track, she didn’t show up so I was on my own. Thankfully the excitement of the event outweighed the frustration of my lack of experiences. After getting though the first year I looked forward to the event, making new friends while keeping the old.

Rick Lake, thank you for your hard work at each event, when you brought me a tech sheet it was always complete with class, car number and drivers name (sometimes the signatures are hard to read), but most of all thank you for your friendship.

Hershel we depended on you a great deal to design a new tee shirt each year, you never disappointed us, we received orders for shirts before people had even seen them and at each event drivers and spectator are wearing shirts from current and previous years. You always do a wonderful job with very little recognition. Thank you for everything.

Thank you Mark Earls and your wonderful cobra group you made such a difference with your willingness to help with what ever needed to be done.

Thank you to Lisa Lampe, Kim Nemitz, Mary Hughes and others over the years that helped with registration, posting times, tee shirts, and trophies. Mary even had to leave Bill under his car working one year to run me over to the drag strip when Clois forgot me at the registration office. (If I had walked over he would have probably made record time down that strip.)

I became a part of Run n Gun because of Clois and his good friends Dean, Jay and Mat, my doing the paperwork enable them to do what they loved most, race and visit with the other racers, but it became a part of my life also I looked forward to Run n Gun each year and will miss the event and most of all the people involved.

We could not have given Run n Gun up if we didn’t feel that it was in good hands. George is a good person and has a passion for the sport; I know he will do everything he can to ensure Run n Gun lives on.

Thank you for the wonderful memories.
