Hello Viper Drivers:

Our second event of the Western Region is coming up in 15 days! Learn how to drive your Viper on a road course with instructors and classroom. It is the safest way to learn how to drive your Viper.

Spectators are allowed to come and watch for the $10 gate fee imposed by Buttonwillow.

We also encourage you to come and sit in on the classrooms to see what Viper Days is all about and learn a ton about your car.
