Thursday - the day down:

712 Miles - the distance from my house to Winghouse in Tampa! Drove in to Winghouse and met with Chuck and Gerald that night (pics below), and was supposed to also meet with Rich (V10Mojo) and Adam and Dave (coiled 1 and son Logan), but all of them got tired and had to sleep along the way...

Friday - dyno day:

I stayed throughout at Chuck's in Tampa, and Adam and Dave (2 Viper owner from Knoxville, with son Logan) arrived early on Friday morning, and proceeded to unload Adam's car:

We then set out for Macedo's, with Chuck's #34 loaded up to be dropped off for work to be done on it:

Once at the shop, I finally met V10 Mojo and Chad / GCHDealer / Snake Hydes in person, and saw Mike (96RT/10), Terry (tmcalist), and Tony Armour for the first time since V0I7. Adam's car was so low, it was hard to even get it on the dyno lift!

Here's a pic of Macedo's shop, lots of Vipers to be worked on:

V10 Mojo's Viper was looking sharp outside Macedo's:

So was Mike's 96 RT/10 (for sale, now that he has a Roe supercharged 99 RT/10):

Overall, Macedo's shop was nice, and his wife Wendy was happily serving up food from 3 6' long subs! There were some problems with the dyno, but in the end Dr. Roof had the top #s, followed by BlownGTS's car.

Throughout the day, I let many know about the plan for Winghouse that evening, and eventually (after wrong directions by Chuck to Rich), many showed up, including Chuck, Tony Armour (and his special friend Daniel(le)), Adam, Dave and Logan, 8avette and his crew (drove up from Miami where his car was done up by Levin), Chad/Snakehydes and friend, Mike/96RT10, Tony Darwin (Sir Hiss) and female companion, Rich and his weekend rental Loretta, and eventually Terry, great turnout! I might be forgetting someone, but when the first alcohol order was 5 pitchers, and Rich insisted on starting up with Tequila shots, it was on! Thanks to Dave for picking up several of ours' meals that night!

Several proceeded over to Mon's, but apparently several bailed without effort due to alleged parking problems?? Adam and I went back to Chuck's to do some vehicle swapping, and by the time we were to head back, Rich (V10Mojo) and Loretta were dying of thirst (Mon's doesn't serve alcohol) so they were over at Shangri-La - Adam and I met up with them there and Rich continued on his Tequila kick - bleh! But since he paid for them, I drank them! Thanks also to Rich for some dance action, I hate running out of $$$$! We rolled out of there ~4am, and then Adam and I ran into Rich in his H2 way the hell out the wrong way, up near Chuck's house getting gas, so we proceeded to hop in his H2 and I manipulated his boobalicious air vents in such a way that he won't ever forget! Oh, and Adam pissed in his glove box! J/K!

Continuing with Saturday-Sunday soon...

It was great to see old friends from VOI 7 and meet the new friends at the wing house! I finally got to meet "two viper Chuck". Little did I realize that he has been immortalized at the Winghouse! He is like a G0D to them :D . By far one of the nicest guys I ever meet! Too bad we couldn't "get him" at the go carts!

Man, I really regret not getting to the go carts! You wouldn't think I was such a nice guy if I'd come across you on the track. You DID see #34 didn't you?
