Run and Gun Competition is GROWING!!!!
John at Mongoose Motorsports has posted some pictures of his entries into this years Run and Gun and I must say I am very impressed. Here is a link to some photo's of their products:
http://www.runngun.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=507#507
Their first entry will be a 1980's replica of the Corvette GTP which was originally built by Lola and campaigned a Hendrick factory Racing team and by privetiers in the 80's and their second entry will be their rendition of the 1967 Corvette Grand Sport. Both cars I understand will be relying on a LS1 engine package. These are both beautiful cars and from the above photo's they have been well thought out and prepared. But you can see for yourself as a spectator or competetor.
Welcome to Run and Gun 2007 Mongoose Motorsports!
Now if we can just get John Gyan to show up with one of his LOLA's or other creation.
Scotty Johnson- here you go buddy a little more competition for you.
The field is getting set and this event will be a great opportunity for those of you wanting to check out your next project or just see what ideas have been incorporated into some of the other Kit Car's. We are just a little over two months away from this years Run and Gun.
Are you ready!
Clois

Hey Cois,
I can only guess as to why there are not many comments. Perhaps the average guy has spent his vacation already on LCS or the Shelby event.
I have attended most of the R&G events and never have I walked away disappointed. The past few years it has gotten even better. The most incredible part is the amount of track time verses dollar is unbeilevable. I know last year I put over 300 mile on the track and I was wore out at the end of each day. Then after all that you get to visit and bench race at dinner.
Also the sitting around in the evening after dinner talking about the days events is great. There is always something going on.
I attended the first R&G and bought my Midstates Cobra body from Bob and laurie Kalio. I had a chance to see the product and talk to others about their product. So if you are serious about building a replica then I highly recommend this venue. Many of the manufacturers have been coming to this event from the start and that says alot about the company. Many new manufactures have made it here with their new product. Not just a web page and an idea. so real hands on is by far the best. Seeing the product perform goes a long way too.
If you can afford to go and have the time you won't regret it.
Hersh

Thats good new Clois. I remember some Corvettes a few years ago. I am glad to see they will be represented this year by Mongoose. I will be flying the RCR banner! The 40 is almost done. I think R&G this year will be even better than last year!

One of the things I like about run and gun is you really don't have to worry about competition. I go out & drive where I'm comfortable & I have yet to have anyone say a thing about finishing in whatever place. And yes you're right about track time. Tons of track time and lots of bench racing too. Fun for those that don't necessarily care if they're the fastest or not. What matters is you're having fun with a lot of people that have the same interest in the cars as you do and enjoy driving them the way they were intended to be used. HARD

Look forward to seeing you again. I was sad that you missed last year after your post. Don't tease us this year and...don't let me miss out on a hug!
Jay

Hi Jay, I'm sorry about last year but it got so cold and the last time I hot lapped that car in the cold, I did a double pirouet through the s's at Gateway and I don't think Jackie (my wife) could stomach many more of those. I'm hoping to make it this year though. We really missed seeing all of you.

Thanks Bill,
This is kind of like the chicken or the egg. We need spectators to get the mfgs to want to show up. We are planning on some adds in the Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Tulsa, Dallas, OKC, and Houston papers the first of October.
Plus we have posters we would like to hang in the various speed shops around.

I spoke to Fran Hall at RCR last night and he is coming with the GT40, the ultra light, and the T70 lola. If you want to see a variety of different cars, this is going to be the place to be.

Now this is shaping up to be a big deal. With Shell Valley, RCR and a the Grand Soprt Vettes and many others, this is getting exciting.
Jeff, I sure hope you make it. It is without a doubt a pleasure to watch you drive. Folks, If you are looking to buy a kit then you better try your best to get to R&G. From all indications there is going to be a very nice representation from many manufacturers. It is worth the price of admition just to watch the pro class do their stuff. You can learn a lot just watching how these guys handle their cars.
If you are a manufacturer and are not signed up then if I were you I would give this event a another look.
Hersh
