I'm Mark Earls. Along with my partners Tim Mauldin and Paul Proefrock, we have taken the reins as Event Directors of RunNGun from Clois Harlan and Dean Lampe. We thank them for their many years of service and support. For the last several months we have been in negotiations with our new host track (and longtime host) Gateway Motorsports Park - here in St. Louis.

The dates for this year are JULY 18-20 with an optional TestNTune Day on Wednesday July 17.

Please visit the new website.
Run 'N Gun

That’s right folks, RunNGun.us is finally back in St. Louis at the new and improved Gateway Motorsports Park. That means you’ll be running at a first class NASCAR quality facility around the banked oval road course. And we brought back drag racing, and SCCA auto cross. This year you’ll get more run sessions, more laps, and more events than ever before. Plus, every competitor receives a high-quality, specially-produced event t-shirt, and included transponder rental. A special treat will be the included gourmet catered banquet – at the track.

The new and improved points system means that every single competitor has a real shot for the Grand Championship title. If you have a good weekend and compete successfully in your class, you are definitely in the running. We have more classes for any level of driver. And the RNG Experience may be the best value anywhere for the “never-been-on-a-track” driver. Rent a Paddock space in the NASCAR garage to beat the heat – complete with water and electrical service.

Don’t forget, RunNGun is part of the big Fun Ford Weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park. That’s a huge Ford centered drag racing and auto cross event, with a car show, a huge vendor midway, and an audience. That’s right, you may be racing in front of an actual audience.

So, sign up now, reserve your space, because we expect this event to sell out quickly. Secure on-line registration is now available for the first time too. Lap for lap, session for session – the 26th annual RunNGun.us is the most exciting, biggest bang for your buck of any track event you’ll attend this year. Sign up right now.

That sounds great Mark! I can't wait to get back on the track in St. Louis. I hope to see some familiar faces back in the pits this year!

Thanks Dean. We're really excited about this year.

Dean, what are you going to bring to drive?

Clois Harlan · #5 (**permalink**) 03-15-2013, 06:08 AM

I am going to let him use my Honda 50 Pit bike since I know he won't have anything ready. But, I will be there with my Cobra and maybe something else.

Jay - that's the best news I've had all day. Thanks.

Jay, don't eat that lobster! Since I sold my SLC, I might need to ride it!

You do know the I have a coupe for sale

and have a Craftsman truck aaannnddd a Busch car that I could part with

Since you have all that money I am sure that you could come up with something to drive. Heck, borrow your old gt40 from Mike.

See you there.

Jay

Run N Gun is also on Facebook. Come see some past pics of the event, and if you have any, send them to me or post them on the page at https://www.facebook.com/STLRNG

There's an older shot of a Cobra upside down that eventually went on to win the event!

I've uploaded a few new pics to the Facebook page from the 2009 and 2012 RNG's. Bill Hughes' Daytona Coupe, Morris Clement's Cobra, the Backdraft boys and some others. Check it out. Link in the previous post.
