Post about the BPP Vette/Viper Shootout. . .
It appears that the Vipers claim clear domination at the BPP shootout. . .Funny thing is, there wasn't a Lingenfelter TT to challenge the Henessy Viper. . .
Here is the post:
Vipers Kick ASP at Breathless Vette Viper Shootout......

Vipers are still on top in most competitive racing segments. Today at Desoto Motorsports Park, Bradenton Dragway, Vipers proceeded to dominate the field of over 100 Bowtie products.
In a nutshell, we ran 9.77 in our BTR GTS which was the quickest time of the entire event, Lee Saunders ran 9.83 in his BTR Prepped GTS, and John Hennessey ran 9.84 in his 1000 TT/with Nitrous to round out the only 9 second cars at the event.
The closest of any GM product was somewhere in the 10.50's I believe. There were several other Vipers that trophied in their classes as well, but I can't remember all of the drivers and times so I will let them follow up with actual numbers.
The rains came shortly after time trials, so the planned "bracket racing" event of the afternoon was cancelled. Trophies were handed out for all of the fastest cars of each class. Of course, the Vipers were alone in the fastest class with no GM competition even placed with us.
There were many nice cars in attendance of ALL brands, LPE Vettes, a few Ferarri models and an Aston Martin James Bond Special was on hand to view the action.
Take Care,
Tom

I thought it was a great time except for the rain :D....and who cares about the Vipers...I don't have enough coin right now to make a 9 sec C5 :D
no one really knew....it was kept very quiet....had it been public knowledge, there woulda been a scene, although I did hear he had 2 body guards
:smash:
how is John Hennessey still able to come out in public? Hmmm

Oh my :D . Well do a search here and on some other boards. Or ask No Mercy about Hennessey. Oh the drama. Good reading though :D :lurk:
I would have thought he was brankrupt by now or in jail or in the ICU.
Go to viper.org and do a search on this scum.
lot of people feel that HMS does this:

They can talk all the smack they want,three power adder 500-Cubic inch Vipers running high nines is not that impressive,Cartek had the fastest all motor cars there and next year I'll be running my 410-Cid Iron block C5 with a big direct-port NOS shot,we'll see how bad the Vipers are.
