We will hold our NOON IN/KY VCA meeting on Saturday in or near the Tower at Putnam Park. I have had multiple recent e-mails from the "Open Track Day" co-host, Mr. Jim Stout...some excerpts of which are below:
"The track has agreed to open the food concession on Saturday for our group.
They may open Sunday based on the results from Saturday. However, they are
not open for breakfast." (Editor's note: THIS IS GREAT...come, relax, get your food here effortlessly!!)
"If we receive enough interest, we will allow drive arounds from 12:00 pm to 12:45 pm for VCA members." (Editor's note:Have no fear this is low speed, cruise around "drive"...great chance to learn this track first hand)
"Besides the noon drive around, I feel we could give some ride alongs with those that have the need for speed." (Editor's note:BRING YOUR HELMET for this one...or, borrow one on site)
"The track will open at 7:00 am Saturday morning, and the drivers meeting
will be at 8:00 am. We will try to have drive arounds for those that are
signed up from 8:30 am to 9:00 am. The track will go hot at 9:00 am to
12:00 pm, and again from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm." (Editor's note: A full day of VIPER ENTERTAINMENT..it doesn't get any better than this!!)
"We plan to have two run groups. The advance group will require point bys
and the race group will have open passing. Please let Kim Shafer know
which group you prefer. If we have enough racers interested, we will hold
a race in the afternoon. The run sessions will be 1/2 hour sessions, with
1 hour allowed to race."
"...due to the low car count and the presence of at least three
experienced Viper Days instructors, we could easily handle 2 or 3 students
to offer some one on one instructing. We could possibly offer a limited
half day program on Saturday after your meeting. (Editor's note: This is a "change"...AND, A FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY...come and discuss it with Jim!!)
"I hope we can get a rag tag race group together. It would break up the day and provide some great spectating."(Editor's note:IF the "race" takes place, it will be thrilling...these folks are serious...AND, great drivers!!!)
"John Archer will be sending down a support truck. If you have any special
needs, please contact John directly. I know some of you have already
talked with him." (Editor's note: This info obviously pertains to those drivers who have signed up to run this event...HOWEVER, if YOU NEED something, call Archer Racing Accessories at 1-866-272-4375 and discuss things with John...MAYBE he could bring it to the track for you. John and is fine group have supported Viper Days for YEARS...and, they kindly try to answer all types of Viper related questions. If you do need something from John, CALL HIM NOW as the truck will depart Duluth, Minn. at 4:00 PM Thursday 8/6/09...SUPPORT THEM because they have supported us!!! )
"We are very flexible and your members would not have to commit in advance.
My goal is to take advantage of the opportunity to promote the Viper Days
experience."
