Got back last night after another great weekend with the Viperdays family. It was a terrific event as it always is, but this one was a little special.
I had signed my 16 year son up for Skip's young drivers program to give him some driving instruction with Skip in one of his track prepared Neons. My son had spent some time with me on the track for test and tune on Friday as well as getting a track primer from the V-TEN racing crew (thanks Tom, Al and Newt !!!!). On Saturday morning he spent time in the classroom and then hit the track with Skip as his copilot in the Neon. He had done very well; well enough to make the next few trips on the track himself. By the time I got in the car with him on Saturday afternoon, I was completely blown away by how well he was doing, he had that little Neon maxed out in every turn. In fact on Sunday, he graduated to driving his sessions in my Viper.
First time ever driving the Viper he was turning 1:45 laps. Those are great times, let alone for a 16 year old on a track for the first time and also in a Viper for the first time (compare his 1:45 to results posted on the Viperdays website in a few days). His ability to learn car control and to become smooth was uncanny. [Read proud Dad]
Anyway, to make a long story longer. I had a weekend that I will never forget with my son. I will be spending plenty of money in the future (another car) but I don't care. My son and I have made a priceless connection and we will be spending a lot of time together at the track in the future.
I will never be able to thank Skip and the Viperdays crew enough for the opportunity nor my son for such a great weekend.
Consider Viperdays. You will not regret it.
