So it seems this forum isn't getting much traffic these days   

Anyway, I really miss you guys and hope to see some of you at Willow Springs with Speed Ventures Saturday June 3rd.  I'll be in my BMW because I've sold my Viper.  There is one 2015 Viper registered for the event - Noel G. Do any of you know him?

I hope to see you there!

There used to be an option that I could select called "mobile device".  That was the only way I could use the forum.  I can't find that option anymore. 


Now, there is a window within a window.  It's very difficult to use the forum now.  It's also impossible to properly view some threads on my iPad.


Is there a fix, or a workaround?


thanks,

A lot of people asked about the Trakk Tape I had on my car at Viper Tracks.  It looked really ugly, but did it protect the paint?

The good news is that the paint looked exactly as it did just before I applied the tape.

The bad news, and it is REALLY bad news, is that it ruined my headlights.  When I pulled the tape off the headlights it pulled the protective coating off with it.

At first I though the tape had just left some residue, but after a closer look I saw that it was indeed the protective UV coating that came off with the tape.

I've attached a picture so you can see the damaged area.

Before the plastic lens turns yellow I need to find the best way or place to restore the UV coating.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

My Gen III needs to have the airbag recall dealt with.  I have been to a few SoCal dealers, and none of inspire confidence. 


Who would you trust to open the dash and replace a part?  It's a factory recall, so I need to do it at a dealer.

I just got an email from VCA, and I noticed that they have opened up VOI to any Viper owner.  VOI13.640, as they call it, will be in September and located somewhere in Texas. 


Do any Socal VOA people plan to attend VOI?  Will VOA have our own VOI sort of thing this year?

I know there was a big update several months ago, so I have been patiently waiting for the kinks to get worked out.  But now today, the whole forum is upside-down.  I find that it is very difficult to read when the newest posts are on the top. 


The other issue that drives me away from the forum is the way that the post is in its own frame.  I constantly need to move the mouse from one scroll bar to the other to work through a page. 


On an iPhone or iPad, some posts are not viewable.  Whenever there is a big image, the text gets cut off on the mobile devices.


I also have the habit of refreshing the page on a forum to see if there is a new post.  On this forum, it takes me out of the post and back to the home page.  Not a big deal, but different than any other forum I have ever been to.


Other than that, the forum looks great, and is the best place to find out what's going on.

I have a 2004 Convertible. I'm looking for fun, not competition.

I assume I need a helmet on almost any track, but...

Do I need tow hooks?
Do I need a racing suit?
Do I need racing shoes?
Do I need racing Gloves?

Should I have those things even if they are not required?

I can't afford to make it a big hobby, but I think once or twice a year would be good.  I can't afford to abuse the car too much, but I think occasionally it does need to be driven properly!

thanks,

Are there any trustworthy shops in the LA area who could/would install a cruise control kit?
