2008 RUN N GUN NATIONALS-Recap

[Clois Harlan]

The 2008 Run N Gun Nationals were a huge success. From the sold out manufacturers spots to the sold out garage spaces, we all had a great time. For the first time ever we had a banquet that was deserving of the event and we gave away some great prizes and we even raised almost $15,000.00 for Operation Comfort. Thanks to all that participated and especially the guys from Mongoose who bid $2500.00 on a Nascar package and then a passing of the hat among the members at the banquet raised another $2500.00 which was all matched by Jay Nordstrom. Yes, that only ads up to $10,000.00 BUT we had some very special people that wants to remain annoymus that made up the additional $5000.00.

We had two major magazines present, and several freelance photographers that snapped more than 8000 photo's during the four days. Many of these photos will be available for viewing in the next few days as well. I am told some are so good you can see the rubber build up in detail on some of the noses of the cars. If you didn't make RNG this year you MUST put us on your calendar for next year. The tenative dates are October 9-12, 2009 and next year will be even bigger with some really exciting coverage by one of the major networks. In fact a series of shows are being planned to air in sequence regarding Run N Gun Nationals. Make your plans early and check out our home page over the next few weeks to see all the pictures as they are posted.

Thank you everyone for your support, and remember we do take into consideration any suggestions you may have.

Thanks again,
