always a good event. I missed the last two but I was a regular. Possible this year if I have chance to get the car together.

Wish it was another time of year--don't Vipers have issues with cooling their oil stock too?

Been to this event a few years in a row myself and enjoyed it. Lot's of track time...

They don't have cooling issues as none of them go fast enought to generate enough heat:lol:

TTP will be in attendance August 14th with SuperchargedZ06.. We should have both the Silver C6 and the Blue C5Z (Deemed by a nice gentleman from last weekend as a "rocket ship") out to play..

Who else is going to come down? We should all setup together seeing as we will be out numbered!

:lol: out numbered the last 3-4 years I went to the I was the fastest around the course. Not the fastest down the straight. One guy had a huge nitrous bottle in the rear of the Viper like a skin diver tank.:lol:

They were really disappointed when I told them I had a 346 H&C:lol: It took a few years but the last time a bunch of them came over and said "You got us all":lol: Great fun doubt I will have the car ready. Being during the week I will probably be busy with work. I missed the last two years so I am sure there will be better competition now I would hope. They are fun to run with for-sure and I do love the Viper.

Adel who ran WC was usually there and some Viper comp coupes. They were never much of a problem but a lot of fun to run with. If I had to pay 10,000 dealer cost 13,000 list for a hood like the Viper guys I would be crawling around the track.:eek: It never sells out so I would love to go if my car is done. The Vipers can run over the top of me and it is still a great day. I burned 3 tanks of fuel one year:D

you can pay at the gate never sold out as it is usually a week day.

look in Viperclubofamerica forum

Thanks for the info John.

I notice they require fire suits for intermediate & advanced. I don't have one so I could only run as a novice. Have any experienced drivers run in the novice group? Would slow traffic be a problem? I have lots of experience but running street tires - my best times are 1:42s on this track.

Track is big as you know and there are not that many cars so it should not be to bad. Line up in the front to get a better shot. Track usually produces times from 1:30- 2:10. Usually less than 40 cars at the event.

blue383 07-26-2008 10:42 PM

Thanks for the info John. Sounds good with the small number of cars.

TTP is setting up my car as we speak. I'll be more than ready to catch some snakes.

*bump* Looking good for us to be at this one. We'll be with Supercharged Z06, American Power & Devil Z.

Come by and say hello.

John Shiels 08-12-2008 05:50 PM

TTT for a good event.

Snuckley 08-12-2008 09:33 PM

I will try to make it. Need to wipe cobwebs off the car. I'll keep it in 6th gear so Obama doesn't have to hurt anyone's feeelings looking for oil. In the past I have had a great time with Adel and the gang. :flag:
