It’s official! With the announcement of the next Viper Owners Invitational to be held in Detroit, Aug. 27–30, 2008, that brings the number of these major Viper blowouts to a perfect 10, or to put it another way, one max party to go with every cylinder in our favorite engine. VOI.10 (That really has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?) is coming home to the Motor City.

VOI.10 Highlights
Whether you caravan, trailer your Viper or just hop on a plane, once you get to Detroit, there is a whirlwind of activities scheduled for the event. Attendees and their guests will stay at Detroit’s two newest luxury establishments—the MGM Grand Casino and Hotel and the Motor City Casino and Hotel. Completed within the last year, both of these hotels offer first-class accommodations and easy access to Detroit’s casinos as well as other citywide attractions.

One of the most anticipated activities of VOI.10 will be the tour of the Viper owner’s Promised Land—the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant where Vipers have been built since 1996. After arriving on Wednesday, VOI.10 attendees will get guided tours of the facility and see up close how each Viper is carefully assembled by some of the most skilled craftspeople in the auto industry. Ask anyone who has already taken this tour—it’s an experience you’ll never forget. Thursday and Friday will also include driving events that will allow Viper owners to show off their skills behind the wheel.

In addition, the timing of this event includes the Detroit Grand Prix, scheduled for the weekend of Aug. 29 to Sept. 1. Those who come to VOI.10 will be able to attend the event and watch competitors from all over the world take on the challenging Belle Isle race course. Viper owners who attended the Detroit Grand Prix in 2007 said it was one of the best times they’ve ever had.

Back at the hotels, both Dodge and the VCA have planned spectacular banquets with an incredible array of food and beverage along with some top-notch entertainment. These social events are a great way for you to renew friendships and relive the glory of the day’s events.

Plans are also well underway for an exciting Viperabilia exhibit and those who have attended in the past know that this is always one of the most popular attractions at a Viper Owners Invitational. Suppliers and vendors will be on hand with many unique and fascinating items that a discriminating Viper owner will just have to have.

Make Plans Now to Attend
As we said, all roads lead to Detroit. We will be sending more information by the beginning of March on how to register, so stay tuned. It’s time for your Viper to come home and we hope to see you and all of your Viper friends in Detroit this August.

Perfect!! My first VOI is coming and I am excited.

 

[GRNBGON]

Great for me, minor travel cost.

 

[Viper Specialty]

As much as I would have liked to see it down in Florida or something, at least its actually going to happen!

There will certainly be a lot of "Viper Trains" coming through these parts... looking forward to it!

 

[cabinetman]

Has anyone heard official ticket price yet? Will they have a tiered pricing for those who don't want to attend Belle Isle

 

[got one]

www.voi10.com

[big-n-italian]

[Y2K5SRT]

anyone know when the voi 10 website will be working?

Yes.














In the next four days.

 

[viper94]

Can anyone tell me which casino will hold the main event?

 

[Carmaker]

Heard that the main events will be in the Motor City Casino. MGM is the other one. The MGM does not have the space for the larger events.

Also called the number from the VCA Notes for registration yesterday. Answered by a real person. Told me the website would be up later this week. Were not sure of the day. Just checked a few minutes ago and it did not come up.

Quick questions guys/gals. This will be my first VOI and I have now clue what to expect! As of right now there is not a set fee but what will the fee include? Hotel? Food? Or do we have to get our own hotel rooms and pay for all the food? I say once the website is up it will tell me but I can not wait!! ha

 

[ViperGTS]

In the past you had to pay
1) a registration fee, including lots of food and often drinks also as well as the track events,
2) and for the hotel.

 

[jmillsUT28]

Ok so this could get kind of expensive after all said and done. I'd say it would still be worth it.

Its very expensive but worth it. Unfortunately very short. The fee includes some meals, a short happy hour or two where the drinks are free, track events, boxed lunches for the scenic drive, a goody bag thats actually pretty neat, a river boat ride this time, and a boat load of fun. The hotel is always extra and you can stay anywhere you want, not just at the host hotel. Past fees have been around 800-850 per person plus plus. You WILL have the time of your life IF the weather holds.

 

[jmillsUT28]

Thanks for the answers. Does anyone know of a cheaper hotel that is real close to the host hotels? I'm 25, single, and will be coming by myself as I don't see any of my friends wanting to spend $1000 to go. So unless I find someone that wants to share a room then I say I will need to find a cheaper hotel b/c I can not justify spending $1400 on a room for only myself. Even though I would love to stay in the host hotel. Can I sleep in my car? lol j/k Either way I'm going to make it happen!

How many Vipers were there last year at VOI9?

 

[uvbnbit]

Does 600 sound about right??

 

[GRNBGON]

I would start a " VOI10 Share Room " thread and I am sure you will get a good response. Just get references!

 

[jmillsUT28]

haha Good idea about starting a thread and about the references!! haha

 

[zoomie]

Registration open. Registered ! Let's roll !
also interested in sharing, room costs, etc..

ANY VOI-ONE Participants on HERE? Please read:

Did you attend VOI-One in 1994? Do you have any special memories about it that you would like to appear in an upcoming Viper Mag story? Did it affect the way you look at your Viper and Dodge since then? To keep the article fresh, Dont necessarily POST them!

Please Email me, [email protected]

Thank You.

P.S. Can you FIND your copy of the VOI-1 VHS Video? I need 1-2 duplicates ASAP and will give you a nice Parts $$ credit for a copy, (or evan a LOAN) to save me some TIME in finding mine stored "somewhere, secretly." THANKS!

I split a room with someone back at VOI7, and I expect there's probably some other singles who'd be willing to do it with you. Might want to post a separate thread inquiring to get more attention though. I've also stayed at a nearby offsite one for VOI8, saved big $$$$, and it'd be worth putting up a separate thread to ask if anyone is doing that, if you are interested. For VOI9, I stayed in the site hotel, though it was Vegas and would have been easy to stay elsewhere.

 

[Y2K5SRT]

And in case you forgot how AWESOME a VOI could be...
