7evin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hey Guys, Thought we would bring you up to date with the 9 day Fireball run that we have been doing for the last 4 days. We are currently holding on to first place with our rental vette http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1283231545_DSCN0363 (Medium).JPG The FireBall Run is a transcontinental Rally where we search for missing children. www.fireballrun.com Last year we were directly responsible for helping find 12 missing children. We also get to race each other on tracks.

kitmfgr Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Kevin, with your driving and Michelle's brains and looks, no wonder you two are always First. Keep up the great work, and find more children.:blueangel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Damn, Kevin, are you renting the Vette per mile? How much is that gonna cost. :ack: Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7evin Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Unlimited Mileage !!!! Gotta love it.... We are still holding first place..... Just got off the track about an hour ago. Took third. Got beat out of 2nd by .011 seconds. Was very surprised to see my good friends Chuck and Barb show up. We have distributed just over 1000 flyers in 8 days for Sabrina Allen, the little girl we are looking for. Saturday is our last day . I'll post more pics shortly.

7evin Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hey Guys, Well we pulled off a 12.97 in the 1/4 which gave us a 5th place finish at the drag races. Not shabby for a rental with luggage. After 9 days the event has already recovered 1 child. Our team distributed over 1200 flyers over a 3500 mile area. We managed to hold onto 1st place in the Sports Car class and Overall winner in points. I wanted to say thanks again to Chuck and Barb for driving across the state to give us their support. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1265572626_DSCN0515 (Medium).JPG Thanks to my friend Loren for helping with clues over the phone. Thank you, to all of you who share this adventure with us over the web. We thrive on your words of encouragement, support and ideas. THANK YOU.... Now its off to Run-n-Gun. I am going to see about setting up a live webcam at the event if anyone is interested in viewing. Cheers 7evin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDROCKT Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Congrats to you and Michelle. Fun to be there when you made that RENTAL CAR FLY! No poop people, Kevin had that thing aiborne in between turns 5 and 6 at Grattan Raceway Park in Belding, MI!!! The trick was to land just in time to shut it down for turn 6. WELL DONE. Now that you are back to earth (so to speak) please save us a close up spot near the garages at Gateway International Raceway in St Louis for Run & Gun. We'll be pulling in around dinner time on Tuesday. http://www.runngun.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitmfgr Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 One child found is worth 10 of these events. Thanks for all your efforts and time, the world is a better place for someone tonight. :hurray: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
