Bob Lutz gave Maurice Liang a 2005 Vette for a weekend - Viper Days @ Thunderhill. The electronic nanny in the off position still controlled the clutch and power when the car was pushed by guys who knew how to drive. The report back from a couple races was not good as they could not drive the...
The 98 GT2's came with 18" BBS wheels.
To get the best lap times on a road course take as many performance driving/racing schools as possible. Look at the Viper Days times and compare the various classes, you will find stock Vipers in the hands of a good driver turning faster lap times than...
Stability control will not make a unsafe driver safer, but may give an unsafe driver a false sense of security. The Viper is a sports car for people who like performance and want to control the car. No electronic nanny wanted! If you like to drive enthusiastically learn how to drive. Be...
Looks like great weather for May's VCA meeting.
E-mail Terri Angen today if want to attend our VCA dinner tomorrow.
If this is your first meeting Viper Reserved parking is on the top level of the Parking structure behind the Valencia Hotel (...
Many of us like to use the go pedal and may drive more aggressive then legal or safe. Hope that all of us can drive in manner that is safe. Having good performance driving skills help deal with emergency situations.
Looking ahead of the car three or four seconds is a basic element of PD...
Almost everyone thinks they know how to drive. In truth very few know how to drive. I am the first to admit I do not know how to drive (with over 20 days of professional schools). Understanding the cars limits is beyond most of us because our limits are so lacking.
Just think of a weekend...
Glad you are okay! Most do not survive when tossed out of a car. The "A" pilar is not smashed to bad and the hoops seem ok. No matter you were lucky! Cars can be replaced we are here for a one act play.
There are several members who have trailers. Suggest you come to a meeting and ask around. Rocky, Robert and Steve have trailers and likely know of others as well. Steve or Robert's may be available for Viper Days in Sept.
Hi Lance,
A Ca+(open to VCA member, NV AZ OR WA, etc ) event sounds good. From my view a weekend event seems the most reasonable due to the travel that will be necessary for many.
The Central Valley seems most desirable for the Nor. Cal Regions. An old air base / airport would be ideal...
Hi DVS V10,
Terri Angen is taking the May meeting dinner reservations, please e-mail her. Her e-mail is listed in our regions "contact us" section.
Let me know if you have questions.
What is the point of doing business with a person who has demonstrated a total lack of ethics and criminal behavior? A contract is worthless when one party lacks ethics and character.
There are many people that have earned trust and a contract is of less value as their word can be considered...
To maximize grip a specific course and conditions(temperature of road surface, ambient, tire temperature, etc. ) must be fixed. Then measure the the tire temperature across the tire and use that to make pressure adjustments to make the temps the same across the tire. For street(60-100 deg. F...
History value and those robbed have not recovered their $$! Continue the ban on this site until those cheated have recovered the $$, that will show intent to change his ways! HMO.
Viper Days is the best open track event in the World IMHO! Very well managed by great people. Complete track side services(fluid changes, new brake pads and parts, tires, etc.) provided by the Archer's.
If you have not attended a Performance driving school you may want to get one under your...
