LaPoint Discount Auto Parts..... Our racing history
|
"1997 Run and Gun Shoot-out: The
annual Run and Gun competition is the Kit Car industry’s largest race
event where cars from every manufacturer gather to see who’s Top Dog."

"Obviously some companies go way
overboard and hire professional drivers to pilot their thinly disguised
all-out race cars. Greg's not one of those......"
|

"When the smoke finally cleared (literally) Greg LaPoint, driving his 1965 Cobra Factory Five Replica FFR 1024, had stomped every other car (big blocks included) with a blistering 10.8 second ¼ mile run." | ||||
"His car is really nothing more than a fuel injected 5.0 motor with an S-trim Vortech supercharger bolted on. Almost more impressive was that Greg’s car was the first car in the event history to pull the front tires clear off the ground!" | ||||
"The point here is that a regular guy driving a Factory Five Roadster with mostly stock running gear beat the best in the world. Fact. There are not many cars of any kind that can perform at the levels that this car was engineered to perform at." | ||||
"Best yet, Greg reports that after he changes his tires, he drives his car to work on every warm and sunny Midwestern day." | ||||
