AL/TN Weekend Event.........(56K is a no-go)

[ViperCrazed]

Alrighty, as promised UVBNBIT, here is my post on the AL/TN gathering this w/e.

First off, I want to say a big THANK YOU to the entire club for letting me come out, snoop around, and take some pics. It was really nice meeting you all. Chip, the club president, and his wife Lisa are two of the absolute coolest people you will ever meet. I'll be indebted to both of them for quite awhile for all their hospitality. Thanks to you both for making me feel like "part of the club" this weekend. I'll never forget it and I hope to be back with my own Viper in the future!


(I want to apologize to viperchick12 as the pics I took of your car didn't turn out well at all. That SC'd Viper just wouldn't stand still. Same to Joseph Dell, I was to busy gawking at your car on the track and forgot to take any still shots of it)

Now, without further delay, here are the best of all the pictures....

Great pics! I love the copperhead. I only have one question, is the car with green stripes purple or blue?

 

[viprvenm]

Dang... just moved from Birmingham last Sept! Wish I could have been there.

Awesome pics and thanks for sharing!

Well, it was far from blue....

I guess it was purple

 

[viperchick12]

ViperCrazed... glad you had a good time!

This was my first Viper event as well and I had a better time than I ever imagined!

Thanks to everyone for welcoming us and showing us a GREAT time!

My pics are not as good, but here are a few more...

ViperChick's car was on fire! 11.3 @128 or 130. I ran an 11.1 @ 140 and then the bikes showed up. One oiled down the return road and the day was shot. A good time was had by all. Thanks for putting the event on!

Wow- nice pics, love the silver RT

 

[ViperCrazed]

Thanks. The camera is just your average run of the mill 7.1 MP Kodak Z710 that can be found at your local Wally-World


Yeah, me AND my camera pretty much fell in love with the silver RT that day.

 

[mike & juli]

LOVE that blue w/green stripe!!! Never saw that combo before--looks like an awesome time, thanx for sharing everybody's pictures who contributed! ~juli~

 

[viperchick12]

ViperCrazed... these two pics are for you (the first one is my truck... the second is the real diesel race truck that didn't get to come this weekend)

mike & juli... the next is a better shot of Brett's purple/green gts...

Chip... I think Joseph and Micky & I left the track around 7:00 or so Alabama time. Micky & I stopped to eat and fill up with diesel in Anniston. We ended up getting home about 1:30 am GA time... it was worth it though We did have a blowout on the trailer (I think it happened about 10 miles from the house because thats when we noticed a little bit of swaying... I just thought Micky was that sleepy), but it didn't slow us down any because we didn't realize it until we got up the next morning (I know Chip and Joseph are getting a good laugh right now since Micky was bragging about how we never had any trouble w/ the trailer on racing trips)...

Again... EVERYONE was super nice, but I do want to especially thank Joseph and Chip - You guys are AWESOME and Chip you definitely know how to drive your car!

For those of you who want to see more pictures, James Williams took hundreds of great shots and they can be seen and/or purchase on his website:

[mike & juli]

ViperChick: Thanx for the extra pic of the purple with green stripe!! (Looked blue in the other picture)...the more I look at it, the more I really love it!! THANK YOU...sounded like a GREAT time had by all, and YOU did excellently too, did you not????!! ~juli~

 

[ViperCrazed]

Oooh, Thank you Thank you. I loved the truck.

You know what would be intersting? Take it around TGP one time next month.

THAT should be fun

 

[viperchick12]

In person you could definitely tell it was purple, but in the pics it does have more of a blue look to it

ViperCrazed... help me out with what you mean by TGP

 

[ViperCrazed]

The Talladega Grand Prix raceway.

It's setup for bike racing but they host the occasional auto-X.

I think your club is going there in July

 

[uvbnbit]

They've actually "re-modeled" to make it more "auto-friendly". Wider and longer I hear. We're all looking forward to it. More cars are committing each day. . I'm gonna see if I've got some pics to add from this past weekend, but I'm sure there's none as good as already posted. Thanks Viperchick12 and Vipercrazed. YA'LL

Chip

 

[ViperCrazed]

Ah, I forgot about that. Should be REALLY fun now. I've had to work corners at that track a few times and there was always one turn in particular that everyone broke the rear end loose and went off into the grass.

.............and of course they had to knock over the dang cone and I had to go fix it.

 

[Hockeysnake]

The Book Corner is my favorite store, I love to go in there and read books.

The AL/TN Region has been sponsoring an annual event in June since 2003. I would personally like to thank those who provided items for the attendees.

First of all.........Crown Motors for use of their space and the tee shirts.
Meguiar's.........The gifts of detailer and leather wipes.
Jon B...............Prizes at dinner

The pictures are great. Thansk to all..............
