[Viper - Ford GT "One Day of the Condor Run" September 14th, 2013]

Viper - Ford GT  "One Day of the Condor Run" September 14th, 2013

Okay, So Cal Viper Club Members, the attached map is posted for a pick-up run planned by OrignalRoot (Joel Larson) and Hemotox (Doc EJ) to get the vipers out into the Los Padres National Forest.  We have decided to offer participation to the So Cal Ford GT club as a joint event.  Hemotox will coordinate the Ford GT guys. It will be great to get both iconic American sports cars together.  Ford GT guys are a great group. total car guys.  This is not an official club sponsored event.  We know this area to be a superb place to let these machines run.  There is very little if any traffic, and we have constructed the run to end up on the Interstate 5, at Frazier Park, that will allow everyone easy return access to multiple freeways towards the San Fernando Valley south.  It will also be a great opportunity to get some unique photos of both Vipers and Ford GTs!  Maybe even land in a Viper publication?

Planned starting point is Denny's off Roxford and I-5 in Sylmar (12861 Encinitas Ave, Sylmar, CA 91342).  There is a Chevron Station at the same address.  We then take I-5 north to Lebec.  Westward through Frazier Park to the Lockwood Valley turn-off.  We will tranverse the Lockwood Valley to Hwy 33.  North along a unpopulated Maricopa Hwy to 166.  Then back along the Noroeste Rd, crest of Mt. Pinos to Frazier Park.  BBQ and Pizza and Mexican restaurants are available.

This will be a great event, great people, great cars, and excellent BBQ.  If you are interested in joining this run, please place affirmative comment on this thread.  Totals are needed for lunch reservations.  Should be finished with lunch by 1:00 PM.

Went to the Drag Races yesterday.  Amazing Event!  Some images below.  Tried iPhone video of the start, but the percussion from the machines shut down the iPhone every time!  The entire stadium shook, Schumacher, 3.75 seconds, 1000 feet, 328.75 plus change!  Amazing, the fastest and loudest event I have ever attended, hands down excitement.

Gentlemen and Ladies,

I was lucky to get an invitation to enter a Shelby automobile last night at the Petersen Celebration of the Life of Carroll Shelby.  It was a moving evening, some major names were there, Bondurant, Gurney, Leno, many of the former Shelby employees, major iconic friends of the man.  There was also the woman that Mr. Shelby worked so hard in 1991 to secure a heart transplant for her when she was 11 days old, now in her 20s and finishing college.  All moving speeches, a true American Hero, a fantastic evening.

Below are some images of the upper parking lot at the Petersen Museum for the Shelby Automobile "Fire Up the Engines" Salute to the Man.

Place any images you may find of the new '13 SRT10 Viper.  Found this image on the new design for the logo.  Not too much longer before it is out.  Anyone going to the New York Auto Show April 4?




Nice to see the Solenoglyphic appearance of the exposed fangs!

Here is a web site with some great non offical renderings of what the 2013 Viper SRT could look like.

There are several there that I would purchase if the design matches up.
