Lots of fun !

Our Western Zone Director Greg Baxter, got some clarification for us on the Auto-x qualifier.
Essentially, the fastest Auto-x driver from each of the regional Zone Rendezvous will earn an invitation to travel back to Detroit to compete in an Auto-x challenge against the SRT Engineers.
The top Auto-x driver will have to pay for their own airfare and transportation costs to the Host Hotel.
Once there, you will be treated to a cocktail reception and dinner.  The next day they will also provide you with breakfast and lunch out at the Chelsea Proving Grounds where the Auto-X competition will take place.
Your hotel room for Friday and Saturday night will also be paid for.

My understanding is that this year the new 2011 392 Challenger will be the cars driven on the auto-x.
I believe that the SRT engineers have the winning record, so we really need to get some good drivers back there to do the Owners proud.

Who is it going to be   =5

[Mr. Fangs]

Word on the street is that the SRT drivers are in serious dis-array.  They have been totally demoralized by the recent events at Chrysler, and are just going through the motions to act interested in high performance vehicles.

Most of the SRT people long for the days of the more simple K-cars, and mini-vans. They may show up for the autocross at the proving grounds, but their hearts are not in it. They are more interested in preserving their padded pensions, than acutally laying down some fast laps at the proving grounds.

This year, most likely all we will need to do is show up and pick up the trophys, as most of the SRT people have gotten pretty old and decrepetit.

You may have noticed that they no longer wish to take up the challenge in the legendary Vipers, but have chosen to drive those sedate sedans with SRT stickers. Realizing that none of those sedate SRT sedans can approach the 200 mph velocity of our Beloved Vipers, but I understand their desire to down grade the challenge(r) vehicles.

I understand the need to show up, and save face, but this year SRT might just as well send us the trophys via UPS in advance, as the results are already in the bag.

I understand some of the former SRT hot shoes have taken up Monster Truck Racing (against lowly Corvettes no less) while some of the founders (Gastange) have switched to Vintage auto racing, and even Bob Lutz had to resort to flying Soviet Jet Fighters to get an edge. We have seen some of the SRT elders racing against Jet Fighters in Phoenix for the so called Viper Vs. Viper events, but we all know that those fighter jocks never really put the throttle to the stops for fear of melting the plastic bodied Vipers in their afterburner wakes.

So step up VCA. Lets put our best drivers forward, and show those SRT weenies what real high performance driving looks like. <m

We'll see all you crazy drivers out there in a couple of weeks!!!
And Artie you better keep that new blue one away from those light standards this time.

See Ya...

C'est vrai, Chris adore les Français et leurs accents merveilleux, particulièrement l'accent nord.
Chris is Ricky Bobby...all he wants to do is go fast!

Should be a good battle at the CCC: Monsieur Jean Gerard vs. Ricky Bobby!
