I've talked Drew into coming out and driving Cathy's car, so he and I will have our own competition; the bet will be a Diet Coke of course.

I will be showing up with my dad only on Saturday.
This sounds like a lot of fun. This will give me the chance to safely take my Viper out and see what it can do. <2

This guy's got talent.

Any chance we could get a few of these guys to join us at the track this year?

I'm trying to find more info on the event. I understand that there is reserved time for Vipers and Corvettes, but are other cars welcome for later that day?

What is the cost?

Thanks,
~Jay

Hi Jay,
This is a 2 day Auto-x put on by the P.S. Corvette club and is an annual event. It is open to the public and you will see all kinds of cars out there running. We are ONLY running on Sat morning.

When I contacted the Corvette Club and proposed our plan, they were GREAT and very accommodating.
We secured the first 2 hours from 9:00 to 11:00 as a Private session for just the Vipers and Corvettes.
We will alternate Vipers and Corvettes on each run.

This is a Charity event and all proceeds go to the ALS and the Boys & Girls Club.
I'm still working the details for the exact cost BUT it looks like the cost will work out to be $40 - 45 for each car.
In essence it will be unlimited runs for 2 hours.....but based on the # of vipers and vettes, we are estimating that each car should get about 3 - 4 runs each. Maybe more if we don't lose time to people killing cones and my guess is that not everyone will be continually running for 2 hours straight.

I am also hoping that some of our Viper guys will volunteer and help the Vette guys "work" the course. Maybe stand watch for a short while and pick up cones if needed, to allow the Vette Volunteers a chance to get in their cars and make some passes on the course. Normally these guys DON"T get to even go out on the course as they are there solely to work the event.

I cannot say enough about how nice and gracious they were to our proposal. I'm really looking forward to working hand in hand with them on this and having a lot of fun in the process.

Once again.....If you haven't made a room reservation DO NOT WAIT. Our hands will be tied once the 29th rolls around and getting a room out there will be expensive and very hard to find.

Derek · February 17, 2012, 09:45:19 PM

Me and my dad will be there EARLY Saturday morning and we will both be more than willing to help with the tracks cones and what ever may be needed. This will be my first time taking my baby and driving it hard, <2 =15 So im sure ill be knocking some cones over but illl do my best not to. I'm defiantly willing to help out and work also while my car takes a break between runs.

so sign me and my dad up for helping out.

ViperX · February 18, 2012, 04:20:35 PM

Hey Lance,

We could offer to work the course, i.e. pick up cones for the first hour and let the Vette guys drive, then swap with them so that we could drive the second hour while they pick up cones?

Could be quite a dance if we are continually swapping out course workers.....just a thought.
