LAST DAY to register for VOI 11 - here is why you should

[Y2K5SRT]

Most of you should have received an email on Tuesday with the "Top Ten Reasons to Register for VOI 11" - also shown below. With today, September 15th, being the very last day to register for this event, we want to reiterate a few other reasons you should be considering attending this particular VOI. We don't want you to be reading all the great reports coming out of Salt Lake City in a couple weeks and saying, "Geez, if I had only known it was going to be that cool..." Well it is, and here are some other reasons why:

• Park City is closing the downtown area streets for us on both Friday and Saturday so that you can park your Viper right on Main Street and enjoy all that the area has to offer. You will even get a little "seed money" to spend at area businesses, including your choice of just about any restaurant - and there are several.
• There will be live entertainment set up in town for VOI attendees with one of the best-known bands in the area - featuring the mayor of Park City!
• Three different television networks will be filming during this event, so your chances of high definition TV immortality have probably never been greater. Also keep an eye out for one of the hosts of the new US-based Top Gear TV show, as the producers of that show tell us he will be here as well.
• LIVE airbrush demonstrations by one of the very best in the business: Mr. Bob Soroka, Senior Designer for SRT, will be doing a custom airbrushing of a Viper hood in the Exhibitor area. Even better, he will be bringing a completed hood to auction off later during the weekend.
• Speaking of auctions, this will be the ULTIMATE opportunity to get some pretty amazing stuff: Remember those airbrushed Gen II hoods on display at Conner Avenue Assembly Plant, including the one in the front lobby? They have been generously donated by Dodge to auction off during this event. Our own Viper Parts of America is donating other Viper/SRT collectibles, including the entire Comp Coupe roof panel from the car that raced the F16 Jet at Luke Air Force Base - including the large USAF logo on the top. How about a door or fender from the now-infamous EM50 development mule that begat the Viper ACR? "Zisky Racing" played a huge role in Viper history and you can own a piece of it. best of all, we are bringing in one of the top-rated auctioneers in the country - who also happens to be a Viper owner (two of them) and new VCA member.
• Police escorts on parts of the scenic cruise and parade into Park City.
• The traditional VERY wide angle group photo from Doug Chadwick Photography
• Luxury motor coaches for those not electing to drive - they even have WiFi on board!
• 24/7 security for ALL locations, including several off-duty SLC police officers.
• Fantastic meals at the only 5-Diamond hotel in Utah - and one that many say is the finest hotel in the United States.
• Goody bags, centerpieces, posters, shirts, jackets - they will all be there
• Vendors galore, including Bad Boyzz Racing, Venzano Interiors, Viper Parts Larry, Roe Racing, MGW, Midwest Jewelry, PartsRack, Vipair, Mopar, RaceDeck Flooring, and many more!
• Underground parking that has been tested with a lowered Viper (Warfang's) with no scraping issues and featuring not one, not two, but THREE wash areas including softened water through the hotel's water system.
• Round trip air fares are still cheap: NYC nonstop for under $300, Miami for under $400, Chicago for $250 nonstop, Dallas under $300, Portland, Oregon for only $156 nonstop roundtrip, etc., etc.

There are simply too many reasons you should make time to attend this event. Dodge Night alone will be well worth the trip, especially when you can spend time with Viper friends like Ralph Gilles, Tom Gale, Francois Castaing, Herb Helbig, and many, many others.

Now about those Top Ten reasons we sent out on Tuesday, here you go:

All, Chris is leaving out the 11th Reason.........Don't be left at home watching reruns of The Dukes of Hazard while your VCA friends and family are having the time of their lives!

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Heck, I think we even have a member coming from the Netherlands, so we have friends covering the globe coming to Salt Lake ---------------kinda of like the Viper Olympics .

Socializing, meeting folks from the Forum, chatting with Ralph Gilles, Steve Sharples , Dick Winkles, Herb Helbig, Roy Sjoberg, etc. ( both retired and current SRT folks ) , seeing new vehicles prior to public announcements, testing your mettle at Miller Motorsports Park, getting fun stuff in your goody bag, bumming drinks off of Bobby Cerchione, ...................wow, how can anyone miss coming to this.

Last day to sign up, but never have heard of anyone regretting going to a VOI, and most , having gone, will move the heavens to make it back.

I can't think of a reason not to go. I can't wait. Is it September 30th yet!?!?

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Yup Bill that would be me, though the Germany group has me beat as far as distance goes

Mr. Marshall, will the group photo be incorporated into a scrapbook memories poster like the one that was handed out at VOI 5 I think it was? That looks SO cool that I had it framed! By the way who will be doing the theme song, Alice Cooper with Poison? Paul Brandt already has a theme song for those traveling in a Convoy and I am finishing up rewriting the lyrics to Cowboy by Kid Rock.

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Actually our good friends from Japan are likely as far away as the attendees from the European Continent ------just a great deal that you are coming and I look forward to meeting you.

Look me up and I will make sure Bobby Cerchione buys you a beer!

Chris, a big thanks to you and all the team members for all the hard work in putting together what will surely be the best VOI EVER.I remember talking to you last Fall at the Branson event about how if we could somehow bring the cost down to attend VOI that it would be better attended as not everyone can afford $800 or $900 just to register for the event.Not only have you guys done that but the hotel rates and transportation rates are fantastic.To be able to drive on and watch all the racing at MMP(a world class road racing facility),all the banquets and other benefits is surely one of the best values out there.I strongly encourage any VCA member that has not already done so to register today before it is too late.Even if you can't take your Viper this will be an event you will never forget.And Chris,I think your list of the top reasons to go has omitted one very important one.Events like this give us all the opportunity to show and voice to the Dodge execs and others watching just how much we love our Dodge Vipers and want to be able to buy them for many years to come.So all you guys on the fence support the greatest car and carclub on the planet and register today.I look forward to seeing you in SLC.
