Hey Gang,

Viper Days (North American Road Racing Association) returns to California at Buttonwillow Raceway Park with a test and tune day on Friday, Feb 20 and Driving School activities held on Saturday and Sunday, Feb 21 and Feb 22.

This is the only scheduled stop in California for 2009, so don't miss it!

Track side support is provided by Archer Racing.  The are one of the best places to get your Viper properly aligned.  They can also do routine maintenance and repairs at the track if you don't get your oil or other fluids changed in time by one of our local vendors or have an issue at the track. 

Call John Archer for more information or a service appointment at:  218-727-4806

HOST HOTEL:


Four Points by Sheraton Bakersfield
5101 California Avenue • Bakersfield, California 93309 • United States
Phone: (661) 325-9700 call and refer to NARRA/Viper Days to get the group rate of $80 per night. 

Dan and I will be checking in on Thursday.  Dan will be running "test and tune" on Friday.  FYI: The "funnest" way to do this is plan to arrive at the track on Friday...by 3PM would be great, meet up with us, get your car tech'd, etc.  We'll then we'll go back to the hotel, check in, and go to dinner... 

If that doesn't work out and you arrive directly at the hotel on Friday evening, that would be OK too, you can check in with NARRA registration, then time permitting, go to dinner with us.  Keep in mind, however, it will be quite hectic when getting your car tech'd on Saturday morning.


The plan...

=21 Arrive on Friday – head home on Sunday evening.

=15 Plan to run/drive all day Saturday & Sunday – you'll get 4 sessions on the track each day with classroom and in-car instruction.  We'll have a garage to hang out in stocked with goodies to munch and friends to share driving stories with.

=22 Wear comfy clothes, but you must drive in a helmet, long pants, a long sleeve shirt (preferably cotton) closed toed shoes, and driving gloves are recommended.

  <t FRIDAY: Registration:  If you didn't check in at the track on Friday, you'll register for the event Friday evening at the hotel.


=19  FRIDAY Evening:  Join us for dinner at El Torito, ½ mile from the hotel at 7PM

=20 SATURDAY Evening: NARRA dinner banquet style, dress is business casual

Hey Lance,

It will at least be you, me, Cathy and OGO.

Watch out for Cathy, she'll be running in your group.  She should be fast.  I just added some power to the white car by removing the crossover exhaust system ..... and Archer corner-weighted and aligned it.  She'll be running Kumhos on SSR's.  Car now should weigh only 3300 lbs at track time.

I'll be running in my new, slow ACR so I should'nt be a factor.

And just like that I'm in 3rd place !

Don't listen to him Cathy, he's just trying to psyche us out, remember he hangs out with "slow" Eddie quite often and we've all seen him drive at K1. >1

I just signed up too!!

Ruth (in charge of registration) said that the NARRA recommmends that everyone stay at the Four Points by Sheraton Bakersfield.  If you mention the NARRA group discount, you can get a room for $80 / night!
The banquet is going to be held here as well as friday registration in the lobby.

You can call the Sheraton at (661) 325-9700.

Or as recommended above by OGO, you can stay at the Red Roof Inn which is a little closer to the track and a few dollars less.

Looking forward to some more direction and fun in the sun. 
Lance, I'll take 3rd now...

Directions to the Sheraton:

Take 5 North, then take 99 North, then exit California Ave, turn left going West and its about 2 miles down on the left hand side.

Kobi,
Glad to hear you're going to make it.

Where are the Mike Bs, Deadly4u, Cousin Mike, Swiss Power, Mr. Vegas & Mr. Kawata?  >c >1

The banquet is at the Four Points Sheraton, where it usually is held.  Walking to your room after the banquet = priceless.

We just reserved our room too.

I'd recommend everyone who can stay there.

Drive to the track isn't too bad.

Glad to hear from Kobi again.

Art, you need to make this one ..... so does fast Eddie and Kala.

Kala's got a ride with Mike Greenberg in his comp coupe.  Know she'll get a kick out of that!

Who wants to cruise up together on Friday ?

I'm thinking about meeting at Spaghettini's in Seal Beach around 10:00  and leave by 10:15
Take the 5 on up to Roxford in Sylmar.  We should be there around 11:00.   
Take the 5  north to McKittrick Hwy and stop off for gas and lunch. 
We'll have plenty of time to get to the track and get signed in and have the cars tech'd.

Let me know who is coming with me.    >v
