If anyone is interested, some NorCal Vipers are attending this Shelby Club event. No sound limit!

UPDATE:  We've got 17 Vipers so far, join us!  This event will sell out quickly, so sign up soon.

We will also be having dinner at Tarpy's the night before, you are welcome to come.  Just let me know ahead of time so that I can reserve for the right party size.

This would be a perfect chance for you to run the GTS-R at Laguna Ben !!

Ben/Todd/Lance/Jonathan,

I saw Lance's email from Todd yesterday, unfortuately I have to be in China that week and don't get home till Saturday.  Really wish I could go there!!!  Hope you guys have a blast!

Jonathan,

Need to look at the BW schedule, hoping to get there in the fall and this time I will drag you out there to help me!

Best wishes,

Mike

UPDATE:  Already 10 Vipers have signed up.   Maybe we can get more Vipers than Shelbies at their own event, LOL.

I made reservations for 12 people at Tarpy's Roadhouse Saturday 9/20 at 6pm, but don't know if that will be enough.  Please let me know if you plan to attend dinner with your Viper brothers and significant others.  We may make the dinner a NorCal Viper Club event.

Mike, sorry you can't make it.  I'm about to post another invitation to Sears Point.  Join us for that one!

Yes, I'd like to go. Is anyone else from SoCal going?

Ben,

There are a number of registered Viper owners' names that I don't recognize, my guess is that some are from your area.  Here's the link of who's signed up so far:

Thanks Justin for reaching out!  I would never have known (I'm terrible at keeping up with social media; me, of all people).  Ben, thanks for letting me know about dinner.  Todd, thanks for including me!


Since that weekend is also the the Monterey Jazz Festival, Lena and I will go up Friday to seek out some splendid live music, but if Lena gets called in to work Friday and we must postpone a day, I'll let you guys know and we can meet up in Paso Robles Saturday on the way up.



Looking forward to Laguna Seca for the first time!  I wonder if they will have the microphone out so I can find out if my oversized pipes and cat backs have truly been too loud all along.

Ken,


Attached is Nor Cal SAAC Laguna Seca course map and corner-by-corner analysis of the racing line.  This helped me on my first visit there.  I hope this can help you.

Just a few more days, getting excited!  ;D
I've only run Laguna once before in my Lotus so this will be my first time in the Viper.
Wish more SoCal Vipers were going but at least four of us will be there.

Awesome event at Laguna! A big THANK YOU to the NorCal Viper guys for letting us know about this event and for arranging the Saturday dinner. It was a pleasure meeting all of you.
Just a few pics, wish I took more.

I think Justin was the fastest in our run group in his new yellow GTS race car. Congrats Justin!

Guys, what a blast running with you!  17 Vipers mixing it up, this was perhaps the most fun I've had with my clothes on.


If you have any pictures I could use for a VOA forum post, please send me a couple to:

Ben and Justin, I know you got some awesome shots from GotBlueMilk, I did too.  I'll post some of my pics here too when I get a chance.
