Yesterday was the first ALMS race held in DC. Gary A and I went down to check out the action and to cheer on the American Viper Racing Team. I had never been to this type of race before so it was a very exciting experience for me. I was awestruck by the incredible enterages that these guys had. One thing I noticed was that the Vipers had no factory support whatsoever!
The Corvette guys must have an operation five times as nice as the Vipers, no wonder they are winning. The race was great as was the scenery
despite the hundred degree temperatures. The race began with the Corvettes in front of the gts class and they pretty much stayed there all day, followed by the Olive Garden Ferari, the Vipers were somewhere around 11th place and fell further behind as the day went on. Later in the race one of the Vipers had to withdraw from the race because of damage that occurred Saturday in testing. The American Viper Racing guys were extremely nice, they let me sit in the car too! Anyway, I was just wondering what the heck Dodge is thinking. All they want to sponsor is NASCAR! It's a really disheartening experience seeing what I saw. How does Dodge think they're going to promote Vipers with NASCAR? Any other thoughts on Dodges lack of support for the Viper racing teams?
