On Saturday night about 80 VIPER owners had our big party at the hotel next to the track, the "Chateau Elan Hotel And Spa," which along with Sebring International Raceway is owned the Panoz family. In the lobby they had a Panoz GT advertising the Panoz Racing School.

So we figured what could we possibly do to convince management to show us some respect by replacing the Panoz GT with a VIPER in the lobby.

It so happenned that the it was the manager's birthday and she always wanted to have a ride in a VIPER. So she said if we gave her and the assistant manager a ride, then she would open the front doors wide, get staff to push the Panoz GT out and let us bring in a VIPER. I thought that was a fair deal, and gave them both a thrill ride at the track with my Yellow SRT10 S/C VIPER. They were very appreciative and stuck to their word, by pushing the Panoz GT out and my VIPER in doors.

It was a nice touch for the evening ... pictures to follow soon!

You got it. And the bet will be outlandish -- something you will remember for life (it is Vegas afterall.) We'll need to make sure they make both SRT's equal, or if you want you can just take the more powerful one, I don't mind. ;-)

THe Neons should scream at Pahrump since it is all twisties. Can't wait!

Chuck not only took 1st place but he picked up a nice gal at the bar and she came to see him at the track the next day. Talk about a big winner.... so Chuck, how is Rhonda?
