The Go Fast LionAfter a several year hiatus the Go Fast Lion has made it's return to the side of Dustin Ryan's new 2008 RPC Gunslinger ET. It will also grace the side of the 2001 Motivational Tubing Pinnacle Lite that is piloted by Jr. Dragster rookie Jordan Smith.



Dustin Ryan's 2001 Motivational Tubing Pinnacle LiteThe Go Fast Lion was first seen in 2002 after Dustin and the newly formed family race team purchased the car from Dwight Disher from Brownburg, Indiana. The team made the trip to meet Dwight and his wife in Little Rock, Arkansas on a very rainy July 4th weekend. The Go Fast Lion has taken Dustin to the winner's circle on numerous occasions and it only seemed fitting to bring it back. Not only is the team bringing it back, but they have decided to make it the focal point of the race team by changing the name of the race team to Go Fast Lion Motorsports.

Below is Eddie Hollon's rendering of the new 2008 RPC Gunslinger ET that the team purchased from Rick Dailey, aka Racer Pops, at RPC. Go Fast Lion Motorsports would like to thank Eddie for all of the hard work that he did on the rendering and also like to thank Jeff Richter for bring it to life on the car.

Jordan Smith will be carrying the team color scheme as well but with a twist. The 2001 Motivational Tubing Pinnacle Lite's black and silver colors will be flipped and the Go Fast Lion will be silver. The car is in the paint booth as this article is being written and as soon as it is completed the pictures will be posted.
