[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dear Members,

In just over a week, you will have an opportunity of a lifetime, and that is to drive your Viper with NO SPEED LIMITS! Yes, you read that right! For over a mile, you'll be able to have the pedal to the metal, WOT (wide open throttle), Drive it like you Stole it, and see what it feels like. The only ticket you'll get is the ticket that says how fast you actually went, and a certificate that will certify your time in the Standing Mile.

There are only about a half dozen places in the country that you can do this, but I will say this: we have the best venue, the best facility, and the best weather.

The regular cost to attend is $150 which includes the driver and car. If you wish to have the food included which is breakfast, lunch, snacks and all the beverages you wish, it's $200. Passengers are $50 each and spectators are $5 each. If you wish to bring a guest, the additional catering is $50 each.

VCA South Florida will be absorbing the difference of the following: Take $25 off the $150 package, $25 off the $200 Package, your passenger will be FREE, take off $25 for an additional catered lunch, and all spectators coming from the VCA will have free admission.

There are many who've signed up already and it's my hope that you'll be able to attend and have a blast in your Viper or other Exotic car.

Dodge was going to send a Bonneville Viper to us, thanks to Ralph Gilles and Steve Sharples, but the car was not ready. They will be bringing something special though, that even I don't know about. Dodge has also said that they may have Motor Trend cover this event, so be sure to have the So-Flo look.

Log on to the event website and see all the cars signed up thus far. www.topgunrun.com There will be some very fast cars and motorcycles, all trying to break the land speed record at this event. A notable car that will be there is a 2000HP Ford GT that is looking to go over 260 MPH in the Standing Mile.

FYI, in the afternoon and when time permits, we will have the timing lights moved an additional half mile so that those who need the extra distance can really set out to run their top speed.

You can sign up now at www.topgunrun.com and be sure to mention the VCA Discount. But you need to do that before next week due to the head count for lunch. But we need Vipers!! We need the Viper Nation to show the rest of field of cars who's got the fastest car out there.

Hope to see you on the airstrip.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dear Members,

Next Sunday will be the next Top Gun Run event held at the Dade Collier Transit and Transportation Airport. As I have mentioned before, there are standing mile events throughout the country, but NONE of them are on a smooth surface like this airstrip. And NONE of them are as long. 2 miles by 150' to be exact.

There are already many of you coming out to this event and some of you are bringing out some very fast cars. Some of you are bringing something other than your Viper which is encouraged, if that's what you want to do. Member Mark Butters is bringing out his Saleen S7. Just look at the list of cars coming and you'll see why this event will be an event that will highlight our year. In the later afternoon, the mile mark will moved a half mile further to get your ALL OUT top speed at 1.5 miles out. Some of you will need this, some of you won't but this is Top Gun Run and this is how they do it.

Member Eunice Firth who slithers by men on the road course in her beautiful 2009 Green Viper Coupe will join the ranks as one of the fastest women in the world ever as she will also put her pedal to the metal. John Merkus with his 900+ HP 2002 Viper GTS is looking to slightly change the rotation of our earth by running this event too. Many DLM and Hefner Twin Turbo Lamborghinis; the list goes on.

Some interesting people and competitors coming out to this event include Camilo Pardo who is bringing his 2006 Ford GT Gulf edition. For those in the VCA who own a Ford GT, be sure to bring something for him to autograph; he's the one who designed that car!

There is also a 2000 HP Ford GT looking to break the current land speed record AND a 600 HP Turbo Hayabusa that makes 600 HP at rear wheel. If you're any kind of gear head, car freak, or racer, DO NOT miss this event.

As I mentioned before, all VCA members get in for free. If you wish to race, take off $25 off the basic package, or take off $25 off the full package.

I'm looking forward to seeing you next Sunday so register in the next few days and grab your helmet and come and run your Viper the way it was meant to be driven. FAST!!!
