So the 3 Amigos made it to Detroit in one piece:2tu:



After my officers meeting today we went to the Roush plant to see them build the comp coupe, what a car! Then they took us to the Roush Museum which is only open 3 times a year. They had some nice toys in there, including a Viper:headbang:


On a personal note, Gary and Libby Lashinsky were here in attendance. Gary looks great and is doing great. They want all of us to know that all those prayers and e-mails were the medicine that made Gary better. They truly love our VCA family, and want to thank all of you for all you did for them during their time of need.:2tu:

Stay tuned for more VCA news from Detroit

Hey Bobby,

Ask some of the natives to tell their own "Devil's night" stories....nobody does Devil's night like Detroit used to! Oh yeah, don't call the Red Wings the "dead things" by mistake.

Regards,
Aaron

WOW, went to the Saleen Plant today.........The paint jobs are awesome on the new cars.

I saw Snake Skin Green in person and it looks great, as do Venom Red and GTS Blue. The folks at Saleen do an excellent job with the paint, you'll all be very happy.

This was my first time seeing a Saleen S7..........What a car:2tu:
pictures do not do it justice.

:omg: I forgot my cord for my camera to down load pictures, I'll see if Rolstar can put up a few from the last few days tomorrow.

On my way to the Chrysler Museum for our free Parts Rack drinks:2tu: Thanks Jon B

Will be looking forward to the pictures, Bobby. Sounds like a great time! I'm sure that the 1910 Dodge that Bill sold was a 'mint condition' one that he sold as a young'un a few years ago :cool: ~~~That was great of JonB to provide um...'refreshments'??!! :2tu:

Belle Isle was a beautiful place to have a race, I have a new apprecitation for Detroit after visiting Bell Isle:2tu:

The VCA really hooked us up with an incredible venue, and access to the race track. We had Mike Accivetti(spelling) at our chalet today, and he is one hell of a guy, and Viper friend!

Steve Sharples was also in attendance driving a 2008 coupe:headbang:

There was a comp coupe in the race today, who didn't do too well, but did his best as a last minute entry. The car was primer grey, but when it was sitting on the padock it was highlighted by the best looking flag girl :flirt: at the track :2tu:

We ended our day with a parade lap of Vipers on the track.

Again, I will post pics when I get home:D

Tomorrow the Vipers kick off the day with another parade lap

Well, Sunday started off with a parade of Vipers from the hotel led by 3 2008's. Driven by Mike Accavetti, the world famous Bill Pemberton and the also well known George Farris.

Our parade continued onto the track for 4 spirited parade laps:2tu:

Later we walked around the pits with the
sounds of Indy cars screaming by during practice runs :headbang:

I was also able to get a few shots of Marco, and Michael Andretti and the hot Danika Patrick:D

Again, a big thank you to all who put this together, it was perfect.

I will post my pics from work tomorrow
