I bumped in to Anthony out here in the desert, and he said he would be there.  He hoped for a good Viper showing to take down the Vette guys~!


Any other SoCal guys going?  It is for charity.  I even think it's tax deductible! LOL! >w

Hey Dave,
Sorry I missed this one.  Thanks for stepping up, taking pictures and sharing them.  It is very cool being able to see the event, even though I had to miss it.

You posted your times...my question is did Mariko beat you ?  If so, then I know who to stay away from at the WZR !

See you around 9:30 in Ontario.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Cathy and I were busy all day preparing for the WZR.

We're bringing two cars, so twice the prep for me!

Did finally get the ACR aligned.  Completed the work this morning in my garage.

See you in Vegas,

Dan   <2

She took one run...You don't see all those cones laying down?

(http://gallery.viperclub.org/data/500/medium/0221.JPG)





Just kidding!!!!!! She didn't hit any! Just a warm up lap for the zone event...




Anthony, I think, was the fast Viper with a 44.xxx

I think the fastest time was a lowered Z06 with sport cups on.... 41.xxx

Thank you for coming to our event. Sure we are Corvette owners, but we are all lovers of beautiful, hi-performance cars, and it was a treat for us to have Viper Club members join us for the autocross.  We are happy that you had a good time.
