    End of an Era

    Funny story about our event at Willow Springs a couple of years ago. When Dick and Ralph sat down for dinner with our group of 100 + Viper owners after the track event at Willow Springs, they had brought some stuff for us to raffle, always thinking about helping. At that time, I was serving...

    Who's tried the new Hoosiers?

    Could not find this size in the R7 on Tire Rack's website. Maybe somebody else stocks them?

    Brake Upgrade? Need serious recommendations

    Depends on how serious you are. The ACRX set up is pretty good. Brembo rotors, larger pads, Motul RBF or equivalent and stainless lines. You will want to run at least 3" air ducts to the front brakes for sure if you are braking aggressviely or you'll boil your fluid and wear your pads and...

    Who's tried the new Hoosiers?

    Wish they made the R/A 7 in 315 x 30 x 18 as I run this size up front on 11 inch wheels on my ACR.

    VOI 13 COTA - Track plans

    I plan to go back as well, hopefully soon. I was just beginning to learn the track and running fairly quick laps considering it was my first time at COTA. It is definitely the best track I've ever driven a Viper on and the most Viper friendly. A bit hard on brakes, but the surface was...

    VOI 13 COTA - Track plans

    We're working on this and have been for a while. Had a conference call with a few folks from Dodge yesterday and will know more in a week or so. Fingers crossed. Due to the recent realignment, and perhaps some other factors, their decision making process for marketing dollars has changed a...

    VOI 13 COTA - Track plans

    UPDATE, This just in: We have recently made a few changes / refinements regarding the track portion of VOI 13 at COTA. Many of you have asked us for more opportunity to drive this world class track. 1 - Our VOI 13 track day will be Friday, September 26 with instruction. We'll have the same...

    Homecoming Tragedy

    The VCA has never discussed the possibility of suing SRT, Dodge or any Chrysler entity, period.....and in fact to date, has not sued anyone over anything nor have we threatened to sue any one, and I would know. We sent info out to all VCA members on several occasions letting members know of...

    VOI 13 COTA - Track plans

    Hey Shulmann, Not sure exactly what your first question is. Maybe you can PM me and explain what you mean by "formula". Should be lots of track time and an optional driving day on Sunday so you can run as hard as you are capable of running safely. There will be "in car" instructors during...

    Chris Marshall Alley Post

    He clearly has an axe to grind and as above, consider the source, and consider that most of us really don't join a car club to experience this type of negativity. Dan

    Granger, We could use some help. There is plenty of work to do with every facet of managing the VCA at this time and frankly, we are a bit short handed. VOI13 COTA is coming up fast. Care to volunteer to help us with some of this stuff? PM me if you can help. Regards, Dan

    Power steering troubles

    I second what Dan says, always save every part you think you might possibly be able to re-use, including nuts, bolts, clips, etc. Replacement parts, even from Mopar, aren't always exactly the same as OE build parts. Good luck, Dan

    VOI 13 COTA - Track plans

    Agree, super Viper friendly. Some very long straights, nice brake markers, great run off areas, smooth track, well placed "candy striped berms", some higher speed turns and some really nice sweepers with technichal stuff mixed in. Doesn't get much better than this. Need to find a driver's...

    Guys, Found this video on line of a guy driving an ACR at COTA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp7hTuLoog0 The track looks like a blast. Now I just have to learn it so I don't get run over during the Sunday event. See you at the track, Dan

    There are more "left" than you might suspect. If you know Tim Jelle, George MacDonald or Chris Sieneki, you may want to give one or all of them a call. Regards, Dan

    VOI 13 COTA - Track plans

    All, Lot's of rumors running around on "track time" at Circuit of the Americas so far, so here's where we are headed at far as tentative track plans for VOI 13 COTA. As usual, when planning events of this type, most everything depends on the number of attendes (number of instructors, etc.), so...

    Hot Tip...Buy the Gen V Collectible while you can still afford to

    FYI, on the "modding the Gen V" car to big power, we had a twin turbo 2013 Viper modded to about 1300 hp at that event to race one of the F-16 Jets running afterburners right from the start. While he did not beat the Jet that day in the 3000 foot race, the car was super fast and ran...
