10-11-2007 Wow, where did the month go

A month since I posted. Sorry.

I went to the Run N Gun today over at Gateway Speedway. I'd never been there and it was really very fun. It is the big annual gathering of many of these hobbyist racers, mostly Cobras, but many others. I'd say there were maybe 50 to 100 cars there. I watched about an hour of the autocross and another hour of road racing. I also took lots of pictures, but none of them turned out. I must have screwed something up. Sorry. Maybe I will go back tomorrow morning for more of the road racing and some of the drag racing. I was supposed to pay $10 to be a spectator, but damned if I could figure out where or to whom. Maybe if I had tried to go down into the infield through the tunnel. It was cool enough as it was, though.

On my own car front, I have sent an email to a guy selling a kit he has had for 2 years but never finished. He lives out in Ballwin and is only asking 14,500 for it. Lots of good stuff...tires and wheels, engine and auto tranny, hard top, etc. Not sure what is missing yet, still waiting to hear back from him. I hope I will be able to set up something with him to look at it next week. The biggest problem with it that I know of is that it is a B&B kit. They've been around since 1977, and they look fine, but the online support and community is not what it is for Hurricane or FFR.
