Hello Viper Drivers-

I hope to see all of you at the event learning how to drive your Viper safer!!

Remember we are the "Official Driving School" of the VCA.

With that you will receive $50 off your first event of the year if you are a current VCA member.

Please note that Viper Days is a driving school and not racing, so if you want to learn car control and learn what your car can do in a controlled environment, Viper Days at Putnam Park is for you! Is is a safe 1.7 mile track with fields of green grass all around!
