    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    CHARLOTTE, NC The speedway has a roadcourse inside and the premier drag strip across the street. No shortage of hotels or resturants. Weather is perfect and plenty of attractions. Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned. In fact, many that visit end up relocating to the area.

    What does your forum name mean?

    Actually a dual meaning. I once flatlined for 21 seconds while in the hospital for a minor procedure. I woke up just prior to them wacking me with the paddles. That would have sucked!!! No real reason and no negative lasting effects. Also meaning the kids are through college and I'm back into...

    Looking for compact 12VDC on-board air compressor

    Dave, check with the company Air Lift. I have their air bags with an onboard compressor for the rear suspension on my Dodge truck. The unit is very small and will pump up to 100 psi. It also comes with the remote gauge, switch and deflater button. It fits easily in the small well area under my...

    swaying as u brake.

    When I bought my 2002 FE, It was a scary thing to brake while going over 65mph. My two prevoius Vipers never gave me that feeling. After a four wheel alignment by Tom Sessions the car was solid as a rock. The stock alignment was horrible. Adding Eibach springs made a wonderful improvement also...

    Sounds like a head gasket but...

    Tom, Tom, John B and Tater all hit it on the head. Timing cover. My '97 did it also. Please consider replacing the bearings and inspect the cam and lifters. When mine happened, all of the previous parts were junk. Coolant will kill the bearings in a heartbeat. The oil cooler also had to be...

    Grill 57 cruise-ins

    Randy, you must be getting soft in your old age. I've seen you tough it out at VIR when it was so hot, chubby guys like me were stealing ice from strangers cooler just to keep from passing out. Currently looking for an '06 coupe so we can start attending these events again. Keep them going. Tell...

    Myrtle Beach Gathering

    Dang it Steve. You guys are really putting the pressure on me. I might need to steal an '06 soon. What's this thing next to your name about an '08 coupe. Did you step up to a new car and didn't tell me? If so, let me kmow, I'll be skidding into your parking lot sooner then you know! Dwight

    Vipers at the Biltmore! August 22-23!

    I know! I know! Been busy at trying to stay busy. You hit it right on the head Steve! A '06 Blue/White is exactly what I'm looking for. I've found several, but a couple of more financial things to knock out, and I'm going to pull the trigger. Hope your doing well and I'll definitely stop by...

    Hey John, keep up the good work! As soon as I find the right '06 coupe, I'll be participating in these outings again. Good to see the NC/SC chapter growing! Man I miss it!! Dwight
