*** EVENT DETAILS ***
The VCA has approved a Western Zone Rendezvous!  We'll  be teaming up with Mopars At The Strip (MATS) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.  MATS is a great event to watch, but we can also participate in a Viper Class.  There will be live music Friday night put on for MATS attendees.  Saturday there's a Viper Only Autocross, a Viper Only Road Course, and more Drags with MATS.  Saturday evening at the Aliante Station Hotel will be a dinner for the Viper group.  Sunday is more MATS Drags.  Over the weekend we'll also have a Skybox to hang out in and watch the drags.  Please go to (click) www.SoCalViper.com, click Calendar, click Zone Rendezvous in March for further details and links.


FRIDAY:
•  Drag Racing with Mopars - Or Watch from our Skybox
•  Welcome to Las Vegas Party, hosted by the Cannery Hotel and Casino. 
    Live music, Quarter-Mile of Mopars displayed, with plenty of food and drink to purchase.


SATURDAY:
•  Viper Only "Timed" Autocross (In an open parking lot through and around, not over, cones)

•  Viper Only Road Course (Dan will be leading this event with an emphasis on having fun - not racing!)  There will be 2 groups, beginner and intermediate with 3 30-minute sessions for each car.  We'll begin both groups with lead / follow, i.e. you will have an experienced driver leading you around the track to learn the driving line.  We will only go faster as your comfort level increases.

•  Drags with MATS  (We're not trying to break any records, just run with fellow Vipers and have fun)  Like to drag race a fellow member for fun or bragging rights, you can!

ALL DRIVING EVENTS REQUIRE AT LEAST A SNELL 2000 OR NEWER HELMET, LONG SLEEVE COTTON SHIRT, LONG COTTON PANTS AND CLOSED TOE SHOES (driving shoes are best).  DRIVING GLASSES ARE RECOMMENDED IF YOUR HELMET IS OPEN FACED.  DRIVING GLOVES ARE ALSO RECOMMENDED.

Hotel reservations are working now !!  Better hurry up and make your reservations if you are planning on going.

Thankfully the Grandparents will be staying at my place with the kids this year, so I get to drive the 2 seat Viper instead of the 5 seat Viper this year!!!

Looks like I'll be leaving the OC around 9:00 am on Friday morning.  Who is coming with me??
Art ?
Ben?
Fast Eddie?

Lance,

I'll let you know as the date approaches.  I'll have to check with the Palazzo to see what kind of deal I'm getting.

ViperX

Not sure when we're driving out.  Likely thursday night.  Need to check out the mini-road course and lay out the AutoX course for the group.

Likely Dave  O> will be there.

PS  Lisa, I still have those 1000 hp half shafts.

Newport Viper

For those that have gone to Mopars at the strip before...how many runs can you get in? Or is it just stupid crowded at the strip?

Besides the $75 is there an additional fee for the Viper events?

Hey David,

Last year we all got SEVERAL passes 2-3 times Friday and Saturday (I wasn't there Sunday).  This is an extremely well run event and not a madhouse at all.

The $75 is for access to the complete event, there are loads of vendors to check out, every kind of Mopar you can think of to see, and the Viper group will have the Skybox to hangout in and watch the drags.  This $75 also includes the drags that you'll do and access to the MATS entertainment on Friday night.  Really quite a deal.

How cool. My buddy Pete and I are going. He's got a SRT Challanger and I was going to drive my Daytona Ram to bracket race. I was going to the show before I found out about the club event.  Guess I'll have to dust off the old roadster now. Glendale Dodge is sponsoring a cruise over on Thursday. Should be at least 75 cars. I'm heading over Friday morning.
