2006 Run And Gun
Lending proof to the notion that the Run 'N' Gun is more about camaraderie among racers than competition was longtime participant Lew Payne.

2006 Run And Gun
Notice the racers aren't wearing helmets? That's because they took controlled speed parade laps before their actual race laps. Hershal Byrd and a co-pilot in the GT40 patiently wait while Dave Williams in the #98 Fast Lane Cobra talks to Jay Nordstrom.
