Steph and I did the Russo/Barret Jackson run this January.  What a blast!  After the Holidays and winter funk to get together with our Club and run to a great town as Scottsdale with great Arizona Viper owners greeting you was a charge for the spirit .  Any Guy or Gal that can't remember about the dreams of owning a killer 50s 60s 70s car, will be blown away at the true Art. When you put it into perspective what we have all invested into our Vipers then see your dream car and what it sells for you could say I could have two or three or four of them compared to the price we all have invested.    Don't miss this one It is three days of non stop Cars Cars Cars! and Party Party Party!
You won't be disappointed !

Hey Guys,

Just spoke with Lou Belanger of Belanger Headers.  He makes the headers for the comp coupe and the headers most of us have on our Vipers.  I asked him if we could stop by his shop for a tour and some info.  He said "sure, love to have the club come by".

So, please let me know if some of your are interested as I'd love to go by, meet Lou and check out his shop.

Lost another Viper this weekend,

While getting onto the freeway to head to Lou Belanger's shop in AZ, one of our members (on a cold, 50 degree morning with old, cold tires) pressed a bit too hard on the gas pedal while turning, lost control and hit a concrete "K" rail not once but twice.  =17

He was OK but the car looked like a total to me.  It's now parked at Bill Luke Dodge in Phoenix.

I really hope we can get some more members out to our upcoming Car Control Clinic's - 2 this year.  With a little bit of practice and some additional knowledge, this accident could have been avoided.

It's amazing how FAST it happens.   Everyone thinks they are experienced enough to "catch it" once it breaks loose.
Think again.

Sorry to read about this accident...

I'm glad everyone is ok  <1

Hate to hear about this. Good news that he is "ok".  Now we've got to help him find another Viper
