I was hoping to come, but Miller Motorsports Park, the new 4.6 mile track in Utah, opened up a test day for the Speed World Challenge teams on the Monday and Tuesday following the Sebring Viperdays event. We really need to go there to get some time on that track before our race in July. It's...
Re: 1st time on track with \'06 ZO6
Hi Ron,
As fast as it was, I thought 1:48 was a little slow for PMUM until I remembered that he ran in both the Unlimited and in the VRL race. He had a time of 1:46.791 in the VRL.
Many of the cars raced in the Viper Racing League and other series are not only prepared well, but look really, really good. But that being said, racing and "polishing" are two very different approaches to car ownership. You can't just run a rag over the car after each race and then sell it at...
Whether you look at a Comp Coupe or a GTS, buy one that has already been set up and used on the track. Trying to ad mods yourself will cost you a ton of money unless you already do it professionally. It takes a long time and lots of cash to properly sort out a car and make it both fast and...
The arguement on this topic seems to be centered entirely on personal opinions. I think a lot of you are missing the point. Like it or not, give credit to DC for at least producing a coupe. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
Way to go Janni - it's amazing what you can do with a properly motivated spacer! Your success is not only well deserved, but well earned. You both epitomize what Viperdays and the VRL is all about. Ask anybody in the paddock.
I miss seeing you and hope our paths cross more often next season...
Thanks to all of you for the congratulations. I've always tried to do everything I can to support Viperdays and I will continue that support no matter what I happen to be driving. The results of the many competitors now racing on a pro level that have learned what they know from Skip Thomas...
Re: Viper Days / VRL at Gingerman in 2 weeks - who\'s going?
As Ed has just mentioned, we'll be there!
And Ed, you'll be happy to know that I didn't have to use the Viper at all during the Mid Ohio SWC GT event. Good thing, because the beginning was a bit rough. A car stalled two spots...
The above testimonials speak volumes because they come unsolicited from people who routinely travel hundreds of miles to attend Viperdays events. They are obviously convinced (as I am) of the incredible value that Viperdays provides. This isn't your father's track day.
Here is an...

Re: Anyone Know Who Team
STAT refers to a quick response. In a word - FAST. Sam drives a comp coupe in the Viper Racing League which more than qualifies him to use the term. Plus having a Doctor in the House is very comforting to all of us that compete.
Best of luck this season Sam - give...
Great pictures, TWS is a lot of fun to drive. Viperdays Finals happens to be at TWS this year, and my Avatar was taken in 2002 - the last time the VRL was there.
This may not be practical for your application, but a good race seat with a 6 point harness does a lot to keep you steady and relaxed while driving. Especially when you are transitioning to stickier tires and more agressive suspension adjustments it can really help.
The pedals in the Viper are...
My 2000 GTS ACR costs me $491 in property taxes each year in Connecticut.
We have an income tax and a 6% sales tax as well.
Property taxes vary by town, and are the result of multiplying the "mill rate" set by the Board of Finance by the assessed value of the real estate. The real estate...
Unfortunately. only in spirit... My racing priorities will be taking me to Sebring to test during that time. Thunderhill and Willow are two tracks that I am seriously going to miss this year. I'll try to console myself with Infineon and Laguna a little later in the season. See you there?
