Greetings Nor Cal Viper club members,


COME SEE VIPER RECLAIM THE KING OF THE RING TITLE
On September 14th, Team Viper went back to the famed Nurburgring track in Germany to reclaim the "King of the Ring" title and set a 7:12 lap time, beating the ZR-1's 7:19 time and the most recent champ, the Lexus LFA at 7:14. Having been there, I can tell you, it was not a slam dunk. Weather and available track time made it a challenge. At our October dinner meeting, I'll share the behind-the-scenes story of how it unfolded, and show some exclusive photos, and hopefully, the record-setting video!

SEE FRANKFURT AUTOSHOW HIGHLIGHTS
The Frankfurt autoshow is HUGE. Imagine something well over 4 times the size of the San Francisco show. I'll have some of the highlights from that show as well.

NEW LOCATION
Since our group size has gotten smaller, we have more flexibility in choosing restaurants, so we're going to try moving the dinner meeting around to different locations. For October, we're going to try a new restaurant called Mythos in San Carlos. It's off the Holly exit from 101. Mythos has great food, and we have a private area upstairs that will seat up to 40 people. There's a public parking lot behind the restaurant that is usually very empty, or you can park in front on the street if there's space. Price remains the same at $30/person including tax and tip.



Don't miss our final dinner meeting of the year. Good food, good friends, and see our favorite car take the King of the Ring title. Attached is the menu. You don't have to pre-select, just order the day of the event. But you must RSVP, as space is limited, so no walk-ins. Same price as usual, $30 per person. Please bring cash.


Please RSVP to Terri Angen at [email protected] by FRIDAY, Sept. 30th. First come, first served.

Hope to see you there!

Hey Glen, Supposedly, there will be light rains until about 3am. All will be well until about 7PM when the clouds roll in and between 9and 10PM the clouds will open up once again to spit all over your beautiful Black and Red Viper. That is, if you believe what multiple weather sites are saying. That would be a several hour drive home in the rain for you. Does that mean we get to hear the mean custom exhaust on your Neon??? I most likely will be bringing the Miata, unless of course the weather changes for the better. Maybe afterwards, we can hear who has the most obnoxious exhaust. :) Bring a USB stick and I can give you the video that you were asking about.

Thanks for the information Ken. I think we will drive our Dodge truck. The last time we drove the Neon to an event Maurice wanted to launch it off an Aircraft Carrier. I'll bring a usb stick.

See you tomorrow!

The meeting was fun and getting the inside scoop of what the team had to go through at the Ring was very interesting. Nice job by all!

Very fun, and special thanks to everyone that drove their Viper ;-)

Great inside scoop from Maurice, and the ride-along video with Kuno was just ridiculous... Sport Cups on the damp track, and he was flyin'!

And as always, I enjoyed seeing people again and meeting even more of you. Thanks to Toddy for the oil, too!

Great meeting, loved all the extra inside information you gave us Maurice and the food was really, really good! Too bad the weather didn't co-operate. Thank-you Toddy for the prizes!!

Regards,
Aaron
