Any other desert guys going? Greg, Anthony, Hugh?

ViperX · February 23, 2009, 04:32:10 PM

Anthony is an AutoX monster.

Pretty sure he'll be there.

He's not much of a computer / email guy though ....

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

Newport Viper · March 06, 2009, 04:55:33 PM

For everyone coming out, Anthony said, Helmets are a must.....

ViperX · March 08, 2009, 09:12:45 AM

They wanted proof of insurance last time too.....

Newport Viper · March 09, 2009, 10:19:09 AM

If I can get my ACR aligned before the weekend, we'll likely be there.

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
