[MTGTS]

per the main page:

The Viper Club of America, in conjunction with the SRT division of Chrysler, is very pleased to announce the 12th Viper Owners Invitational. This spectacular event will be hosted in Charlotte, NC from September 27-30, 2012. Tentative driving activities include road course, autocross, go karts, scenic cruise, and drag strip. As always, excellent meals will be provided Thursday through Saturday, with a special fundraising dinner on Sunday night also included. The event will also feature some great Viper vendor displays, guest speakers, and several vehicles from our friends in Detroit. This will be your opportunity to get up close and personal with the brand new 2013 SRT Viper!

More details are to follow, including the host hotels, rates, and much, much more. Stay tuned!

Okay, that's good to know...looking forward to it...nice little 3,200 mile (round trip) road trip.

 

[SNKEBIT]

Crap. We were just there!

 

[Baked]

Wow, 8000 km return trip. Guess it will be a flight this time without the car

 

[Tom Sessions]

Wow this is a long ride. just under 4 hours. Thanks Guys

 

[Next Phase]

I'm shocked it's going to be in Charlotte. Great news as it is only a 2-3 hour drive!

 

[TowDawg]

Hell yeah! 5 hour drive on 74 through GREAT mountain roads the whole way! If a group ends up coming this way, the Dragon is only about a 25-30 min detour off the route as well!

That sounds like a great venue. It happens to be about 3,000 each way from here, but I guess I will get a nice scenic drive and get to visit some other nice areas on the way. I have a "bucket list" item to drive the Viper up Pikes Peak, so this should be my big chance. As far as putting miles on my Viper - I just rolled over 84,000, so another 6 or 7 thousand won't hurt.

Totally agree, mine recently crossed the 74,000 mark so I have no problems driving it to North Carolina and back. Great opportunity to see the country.

 

[HyperViper]

You Guys are Diehards. I am planning to ship there and drive back.

 

[Silver04]

Hhhmmm...drive, fly/rent, or fly/ship. It's great to have these kinda choices to make!!!

 

[01sapphirebob]

Hopeing to be able to drive down. Eight and a half hours for me. Now...gotta Find a baby sitter.

 

[Mopar Steve]

8 Hrs from Delaware! Great!

 

[Dom426h]

Nice. this might be the first doable one for me.

 

[Copperhead133]

Thats great only about 3 to 4 hours away though the smokey mountains see ya there!

 

[mgeorge]

Have the dates blocked off in the calendar and am really looking forward to it--10 hours each way for me, not bad at all. Hoping that I can drive down with a large contingent of the NY-CT/NJ/PA group.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Now we can hang out with the Nascar boys! Should be a good track.

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Be interesting to find out about the road course, as if we are using the infield of Charlotte Motor Speedway we do have the infamous walls that have not been kind in the past. Overall , should be a good trip for a little Southern hospitality and with the trip down it should take around 20 hours +.

Time to grease up the trailer axles and there should be plenty of things to do in the Nascar Capital of the US. Gotta imagine we will have a guest appearance from one of the Dodge boys --- AJ Almendinger would be my choice.

 

[Boxer12]

I don't see it on NARRA Schedule, so I take it there is no coordinated event this time and no racing. I see VIR has open dates Sep 28-30 on the calendar. A two or three day DE at VIR would be fun and I imagine get a lot of participation!

 

[MTGTS]

VIR has no open weekends till Dec. I talked to Kevin yesterday. Thur/Fri might be available though...

 

[72hemi]

David Murry Track Days is at VIR on Wednesday and Thursday (26-27)

[Hoosier Daddy]

HHHMMM, I guess I'll come out of hibernation to attend this one!!!!

 

[MoparBoyy]

NICE! 525 miles for me... i was planning on 1k one way, this is a treat!

 

[Tom Sessions]

HHHMMM, I guess I'll come out of hibernation to attend this one!!!!

Wow you still have a viper.

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Wow you still have a viper.

Same one. You want to put some Belanger headers on it I bought 10 years ago?

 

[Stretch]

Hell yeah! 5 hour drive on 74 through GREAT mountain roads the whole way! If a group ends up coming this way, the Dragon is only about a 25-30 min detour off the route as well!

I'll meet you there! I have to drive right through Knoxville to get to Charlotte.

 

[rw99]

As mentioned above, let's get something together at VIR to coincide with VOI!!!

[BigBadViper]

2.5 hours for me. I guess I can make the trek.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Sweet! Should be a 1 day drive. Assuming no fuel tank melting issues.

You wont have any long big mountains to pull this time like we did going to SLC. You should be ok. If not i'm sure we can get you fixed right up. I know where there is a nice shade tree we can work under and I got some duct tape to put things back together.
