On Saturday the VCA hosted a great event at Luke Airforce base. Under the supervision, and videocameras of "Ripley's Believe it or NOT!" a F-16 "Viper" fighterjet lined up against a new 03 Viper convertable. It was a drag race for 1/2 mile. To the amazement of the entire military present the Dodge Viper won!
In a rematch a second jet, this time running full military power plus AFTERBURNERS, ran against a Competition coupe. Once again the car won.
You could hear the General's jaw drop.
This VCA event raised $25,000 for charity, so you might say everyone won.
There is to be a rematch on Sunday.
Special thanks to Tony Estes for perfect execution, and a great fun time for all, and Jon Brobst for bring this concept to a reality. The great driving from experienced drag racer Herb Helbig showed the USAF how to hustle down the track.
A great VCA event.
