Being Runum's little brother that got to tag along sometimes, I have inside information for sale to the highest bidder!
Let me just say Runum was a great teacher to those who were willing to learn about thier cars and wanted them to be stronger.

One night we were driving around in his 79 brown Malibu when we ran across 2 kids in a black camaro that thought they were fast. We talked with them and Runum invited them to come to his shop and look over the Camaro. The 2 boys ended up hanging around for serveral years working on various cars with Runums help.
The camaro got lots faster and the driver got much smarter in racing because of the experience he shared with the kids.
