Hello Viper Club Members,

The Memorial Party for our friend and Viper Member Dave Cawthorne has been planned for:


Date:   Saturday, August 15th, 2009
Time:   1:00 PM
Place:   Ed Brown Senior Center (click for map) (formerly the Joslyn Center)
            18402 West Bernardo Drive
            San Diego, CA (Rancho Bernardo)

This is to be a celebration of Dave's life, and according to his wife Arlene of 48-years, "a party that should be fun".

Many of you have some great memories of Dave and if you'd like, you can share them with the group at the Memorial Party.  Or, you can put your story in writing;  I think Arlene would enjoy reading it.

The Viper Club will be providing the sandwiches, if you'd like to contribute to the drinks or paper goods, please call or email me and I'll let you know what is needed.

For planning purposes, please let us know if you can make it.

Thank you and we hope to see you there,




Directions once you exit the freeway:

Ed Brown Senior Center (click for map)
From I-15 take the Pomerado Rd/ West Bernardo Dr exit and turn left.  Turn right at the light into the Rancho Bernardo Community Park.  Follow the road around past the community center, parking lots and tennis courts.  The Memorial Party will be in the 1-story white building with a royal blue awning out front.

Those of us coming from LA / OC can meet at the Shady Canyon Starbucks about 11 - 11:15 AM, departing about 11:30 for a show up time at Dave's party of about 1:00PM.  Click here for map

I'll plan to be there at about 11 AM ish.

Cathy is going down a bit earlier to help with set up.

Let me know who's planning to meet at Starbucks and we'll keep an eye out for you.

[When~]

The SOCAL VIPER CLUB is invited to ~
     Hot Summer Nights For Sports Cars in Fallbrook


When~
Friday, June 12th from 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm.   Three blocks of the downtown "Village Area" of Fallbrook will be closed to traffic.   

What~
Hot Summer Nights is an old fashioned community event in the downtown "Village" area
of Fallbrook.  This event will feature Sports Cars and Exotics.  Other car club invitees will be the Ferrari, Cobra, Maserati and Porsche Clubs among others. Cars are parked diagonally on the street for viewing and judging (not a Concours).   Trophies for Judges Choice, Best Sports Car and Best Club effort will be presented.  Recipients of the trophies will be asked to speak briefly about their cars and club.

There will be club parking for each car club participating.  If your club will have more than seven cars coming (and we hope that is the case), it is recommended that a parking coordinator be appointed.  Have them contact me to be sure of where and how to park for your club.

Where~
Fallbrook is an out of the way town in No. San Diego County.  It is a lovely agrarian area most noted for avocados, that has maintained a Village atmosphere in the downtown area.  Fallbrook is a great venue for displaying cars on the street.  The village/downtown area is like going back in time fifty years ago in CA.  Its all older but beautifully preserved stores and shops in a very relaxed atmosphere.  You can't really see or enjoy this kind of event anywhere else!  Try to get there by 5:00 if you can but you will get parked in fine fashion if you arrive later.  (See the map attached).

Amenities~
Food vendors will be serving food plus several nice restaurants will be open in the downtown area.  In the center of all this is the Village Square where wine, beer and soft drinks can be purchased.  Most of us will be going to Sour Dough Pizza to eat after the event.

There will be live music by LastOneDone.

Shops will be open and there will be one or more restaurants anxiously looking forward to receiving club members who wish to get together for dinner afterwards. 

This event is part of several "Hot Summer Nights" events put on by Connections of Fallbrook, a group of local business people who believe in community support.

Expect to have a good time if you join us as we celebrate the beauty of Sports and Exotic Cars in Fallbrook.

Supercar Sunday, Calabasas; World Class Motoring, Agoura then Lunch
Last year was such a success that we've planned a do-over...

Hey Viper Club,

The Supercar Show is huge! There's nearly every car you can imagine. After our visit here, about 10AM,  I'll plan on leading the group through the hills on a nice twisty drive (a different route then last year). The view at the top is fantastic, and the drive is fun. We'll stop at World Class Motoring for a little child's play...  About 11:30AM we'll head to Wood Ranch BBQ for a nice lunch.

This year, there are only a couple of events in the Ventura county area, I hope you can make this one and help pack the car show with Vipers.

DYNO DAY at DC PERFORMANCE - Saturday, July 11th <2

Dan Cragin of DC Performance has agreed to sponsor the club by holding a "Dyno Day" and Open House at his shop.  DC will provide donuts and coffee in the morning and lunch around noon.  The first 20 Viper owners who sign up for this event will get 3 dyno pulls with a print out of their results for only $50.00 each (payable to DC Performance at time of Dyno pull).  Dan will then donate $25.00 for each car dyno'd to the So Cal Viper Club.  If we can get at least 20 people to come to the event and do the dyno pulls, we can put $500.00 into the club's general fund.

This event is for all members, so even if you don't dyno your car, come watch, eat and hang-out with the rest of us – please R.S.V.P. though...

[Big Bear Run & Lunch]

Big Bear Run & Lunch

This run to Big Bear is a lot of fun and worth the trip!  We'll approach the mountain from the east and snake our way up the back way because it makes for a better run with less traffic.  Other vehicles have been known to pull over to let the Vipers pass and even sometimes give us a ThumbsUp  <1 as we go by.

Lunch will be at Northwoods Resort!

This is also a great place to stay!  Auto Club preferred room rate showing as low as $112 per night, and they do not require a 2 night stay!

Our final meeting place before we head up the hill will be the Home Depot parking lot.  There is a 7-Eleven with gas here if needed plus snacks, coffee, etc...

[Duke's Brunch & Poker Run]

Duke's Brunch & Poker Run

For several years now, Duke's Huntington Beach has opened their doors early for the SoCal Viper Club to enjoy their Sunday Brunch with preferred front row parking and this year will be no different.  Last year we changed things up a bit by following brunch with a Texas Hold'em Poker Run, which took us to a cool park in Laguna Niguel. This turned out to be a lot of fun and we'll have the poker run again. 



Arrive at Duke's at 9-9:30AM

Doors open for brunch at 9:45AM
We'll park our own cars - but there will be a small valet charge
Breakfast will be in the Huntington Beach Room overlooking the ocean and pier. 
Enter through the Barefoot Bar Entrance (north side). 
Please note, that we'll have tables of 6-8 persons and Duke's will bill us by table.

Poker Run - Depart Duke's at 11AM

1st Stop Fashion Island – Pick up your first poker card
2nd Stop Crystal Cove – Pick up your second poker card
3rd Stop Laguna Niguel – The final cards will be played

*** EVENT DETAILS ***

The VCA has approved a Western Zone Rendezvous!  We'll  be teaming up with Mopars At The Strip (MATS) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.  MATS is a great event to watch, but we can also participate in a Viper Class.  There will be live music Friday night put on for MATS attendees.  Saturday there's a Viper Only Autocross, a Viper Only Road Course, and more Drags with MATS.  Saturday evening at the Aliante Station Hotel will be a dinner for the Viper group.  Sunday is more MATS Drags.  Over the weekend we'll also have a Skybox to hang out in and watch the drags.  Please go to (click) www.SoCalViper.com, click Calendar, click Zone Rendezvous in March for further details and links.
