I know i saw at least two first and two second gens there, my first gen still have some work to be done before it can pass tech, but i drove the silver 1 gen with gunn auto on the side.

 

when is the NEXT one? how much? If you let me know I'll be at the next one for sure. what are the requirements?

 

um... it's an annual event, it's an autox with about 210 cars, so i guess the next one is 2006.

oh.......well that sucks........lol.

 

i heard it was an invitational event. i was about to go but then i went to the rx7 meet on mt. hamilton.

 

i don't recall it being an invitational event, i teched at them when i was in the auto program at De Anza and yes it is an annual event so you missed it...

 

They said 04 was the last year they were going to hold it? Where did they do it? They built a parking structure over the old course? So they did it again this year?

 

it was kind of an invitational this year, not sure how this is gonna work next year though... but it was a great showing of cars none the less, some really amazing runs.

 

i was there but didnt drive... i think it was like 20 bucks for 1 run (3 laps)
i think they just shifted the track over to the next parking lot next to the new structure. mike brandt said that theres supposed to be another one next year.. so yea

...where does gunn highschool get funding for their cars, they had like 3 race cars. two being rotaries. and what happened to that black tII? i saw it in line for a run but didnt run.

 

I drove the Gunn Colt @ DeAnza 2003. I was invited this year but was not able to return the invitation in time. (Also, poor and 140 miles away doesn't help any)



It was cancelled after 2003 because DeAnza was going to build a parking structure, but I guess it still happened. They changed it to invitational because before when it was first-come-first-serve, people would just camp in line the day before. This wasn't fair to others (I guess). When I drove, I had to get in line at 3AM and just sat around for a couple hours...

Mr. C, the auto teacher @ Gunn is a great guy. His RX-3 is his own personal vehicle from many years ago, and the FB was a class project 5 years ago.
