Re: Viper Days / VRL at Gingerman in 2 weeks - who\'s going?

I'm trying to decide if I'm up to the 10 hour drive each way.

I know I'll regret it all weekend long if I don't go though.

I need to earn more money so i can hire someone to trailer it there for me so I can just fly in ;)

Re: Viper Days / VRL at Gingerman in 2 weeks - who\'s going?

As Ed has just mentioned, we'll be there!

And Ed, you'll be happy to know that I didn't have to use the Viper at all during the Mid Ohio SWC GT event. Good thing, because the beginning was a bit rough. A car stalled two spots ahead of me on the standing start and I hit Tom Oates rear bumper pretty hard and then was rear ended myself by Derek Bell. What a cluster!

I'll look forward to seeing everyone at Gingerman.

If you get close enough to your screen and speakers you can smell and hear the exhaust from these guys. If you look really close you can see the smile on their faces.

Mark I have some pictures from MAM and Sebring to send you, we'll be in California this time but will try to make the VIR in July.

Hey Sonny - Looking forward to seeing you - I promise to stay out of your way... I expect Seth to be there and be the front-runner in my class. Not sure if Bobby Archer's bringing a car to drive or not.

Safe travels to MI for all of the Viper Days and VRL participants,
Rich
