WooWoo waiting on Lance to make it official.

Cool - then the growing Vegas contingent of SoCal members can caravan the rest of the way with you guys.

BTW: missed you at the Christmas party...Hope all is well with the wife.

Great news and great location. SLC was never the same after the Winter Olympics (in a good way). It is no different than most everywhere else on the liquor laws now. You just have to order a small appetizer or a meal with drinks, etc. to meet state regulations (which is the only difference) but that is no biggie.

Can't believe VOI11 is out here in the Wild West. Short drive for me so both me and the wife will most definitely be there. Let us know when hotel rooms start to open up for booking.

Most that have never been there before will be very, very surprised. It is not what you expect from the stories and jokes of of SLC past. The city and area are definitely caught up with the rest of the world now.

Again, thank you and great job. Can't wait for the first VOI event I will attend since buying my Viper over 3 years ago.

SLC? That's a shocker!

Logo will be posted tomorrow. = )

 

[InjectTheVenom]

As soon as the final prices for everything are available please let me know!

I guess the high speed freaks are allowed to have a go at the Bonneville Salt Flats ?

Don't let the NY/CT guys know or they will all be wrecked before the rest can have a go

Never actually stayed in Salt Lake City before but I can say without question that Utah is one of the most beautiful states in the country. Miller Motorsports is surrounded by snow covered mountains and is spectacular. One of the nicest track facilities in the country. The drive out there from MA should be awesome.

 

[yellowvipergts]

Sounds GREAT! We have it on our calendar!
Thanks to Chris & company for the hard work getting this going!

Among all you happy people, I'll bet I'm the HAPPIEST! I've been agitating for some kind of Viper event at MMSP forever! I've even driven on that track--slowly, however, as it was raining that day. You don't have to BYOB, by the way. And you'll all love the scenery! Yee-hah!

 

[Bobpantax]

Here are a bunch of Doris' helicopter photos from MMSP Speed GT race May 2007. Archer Won. I included the East and West layouts, and the Interchange shot. And the 4X4 track, and one of the two go-cart tracks. The indoor and sheltered hospitality areas are world-class, and this facility could even host Formula One without too much effort. THANKS CHAD for posting help !

Hey Chad. Where are those pics?

You are being slow like red Vipers!

 

[turbodoc]

Sounds Great!

 

[viperdrummer]

SLC may seem odd to some but it is truly a great city, and given that VOIs have hit most of the "natural" locales up to now, I cannot think of a better location. (except Richmond or Charlotte but I am lazy and love both tracks)

I have not been to a VOI in awhile, but hope to make this one and one of the reasons is the location.

 

[Brian GTS]

Sounds great!!! Thanks to Chris and staff for all the planning and hard work.

 

[Detlef]

Woo hoo, only 1 State over from here.

 

[Sweet Ride]

Awesome!!! This will be my first VOI.

Haven't been to SLC in about 11 years but from what I rememebr it is a very beautiful city.

Can't wait!!!

 

[Mopar Boy]

Just calculated it....32 hour drive!

 

[Janni]

**** it up and drive. We drome from NC to Vegas and it was the most fun 3.5 days we'd had in a long time. It's totally nice to get out on the road, stretch the Viper's legs, stop at some fum places along the way and enjoy yourself. We're entirely too connected and scheduled every minute of the day.

Enjoy the trip.... don't rush through your life going from event to event and making the in between stuff stressful and unmemorable. The in between stuff is the hidden gem of living.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Janni - Oh I never said I was not going to make the drive!

Was just saying, I calculated how long my drive WILL be! Good thing I like driving!

Very well spoken by the way! We should frame that last paragraph and labled ConfuJanni!

 

[ACR steve]

Total Travel Estimate: 33 hours / 2182.26 miles and 2150 of those miles is rte 80 I never drove on one road for that long.If I drove it I would need to do a tire change just to get back home... I might have to fly .....So who is renting me there ACR-X for the race ?????????

 

[vpr hlr]

Just calculated it....32 hour drive!

If I am in Ottawa, I might consider driving. It is about 400 miles less than driving from Naples. Might have the car in Ottawa for track day at Circuit Mont Tremblant. Maybe a GTG on the way with members of the other states to join as we pass through. ?????

 

[TAXIMAN1]

Cool... How much do you all think it would cost to trailer from NC to this and back?

probably about 10% of the entire value, of a SRT Coupe..

 

[Green Viper]

Thanks to everyone involved in helping make VOI.11 a reality and at a first class location!
The track, the scenery, real races to watch, Salt flats nearby.... WOW!

Great job!!!
