Ben.

Your car looks fast, even on the trailer.

Looks right and tight.

Ben,

Your new car looks great!  I was up at Lance's shop last Friday but missed you viper by a day or two.  Looking forward to seeing it at the track. 

BTW, you gotta get some better wheels for that trailer!

Mike, maybe some day I'll upgrade those trailer wheels or just paint 'em black.

Thanks Glenn, hope to see out at a track event soon, it's been a while.

[Derek]

hey scott,

remember smooth is fast

[Derek]

just got home!

looks like us viper guys took home 1 trophie in the sports car class with the 2nd fastest time of the day done by Ben!
43.xx something can't remember the exact time. the guy that took first was in the over sized go-kart aka the miata lol, and ran a 42.xx something...

me and magnus stayed til the end and i collected the trohpie for you ben! i will bring it with me to the viper event in fontana in 2 weeks if you will be there.

Was a lot of fun and can't wait to go back in march. biggest downfall to the event was not being broken up into the vipers and vettes classes and just let us run for a few hrs like we did last time. between me and my dad we only got in maybe 10 runs which sounds like alot.... but not that many when you spend all day there.... We ended up with like 4 or 5 extra runs that we ran out of time and were not able to get to use...

All in all tho we made the best of it and had a lot of fun!

i got some pics and go-pro video of some runs and if any video turn out halfway decent ill be sure to post them up and share with you all.

[Banzai Ben]

Thanks Derek! Great seeing you and your dad out there and everyone else too.
So none of the vettes beat me? Cool!

Here's a video of my best run of 43.13

Here are a few videos from my runs this weekend. My first 2-3 runs i ran 47.xx passes.
rode with dan 1 time and just from riding with him once i was able to knock a solid 1 full second off my time and was running consistent 46.xx runs and almost dipped into the 45.'s with my best run being 46.073.
Was alot of fun wish i could have got more runs in but none the less had a great time with good fellow viper friends!

here are the videos from my runs...

im looking forward to seeing ur pics you took scott!
post em' up!  >u

Derek,

I like all the different camera views you used, very cool!
You ran some good times considering you were on street tires.
Hopefully next time they will have a dedicated Viper-Vette run session like last time.

See you in Fontana in a couple weeks.
