Me too! 

Wow, this is like a miracle.  Ben is coming on the Eastern Sierra run.  Perfect!!!

Well guess what?  Copper Top BBQ received an enormous recommendation from YELP! And the So Cal Viper Club picture is against the front wall of the camera as it swings past to see some of the people dining at the Copper Top.  Another most excellent place on the Viper Club Eastern Sierra Run this August.

[Eastern Sierra Viper Run]

For those of you So Cal Viper Members who don't frequent the Sierras in the winter, these few photos should inspire you for this August's Eastern Sierra Viper Run.  Images taken Jan 28 returning from Sun Valley, Idaho :-)

You can start booking your rooms now. Please note that the Creekside Inn in Bishop is not set up as a "room block", but tell them at the time of making your reservation that you are with So Cal Viper Club.  This is prime vacation season for these hotels and they sell out every night.  They won't block out rooms this time of year for a reduced rate.

Couple pics from a past run to the Bristlecone Pine Forest, White Mountains, Owens Valley at 10,000 feet







Incredible place with amazing vistas and 4000 year old trees.

I'm in as well as OriginalRoot (Joel Larson), this will be a most excellent weekend and incredible run.

Have 6 years and 6000 miles on my Michelin Pilot Sport tires.  Great tires, were always a little loud at high speeds.  No complaints for sure.  Decided to pull them off and change tires, mainly because of tire age, but these tires never were exposed to outside elements, beaten, burned out, etc.  They are fine.  Was also looking for a newer tread design.

Wednesday Hemotox got new dancing shoes.  NITTO INVOs, 295x35x18 on fronts, 345x30 19s on rears.  Incredible ride, grip like nobody's business!  Hemotox and owner very happy!

OriginalRoot has indicated he will be there.

 Eduardo Veloce is going to be there

Most excellent 😎👍😃❗️

I'll join you guys. 
Thanks

So we get to see the new Yellow GTS?  Us poor folk just keep showing up in our late model Vipers!  Any chance Eduardo Veloce in the ORnage viper can make it?

Okay, looks like Saturday weather will be excellent.  Would be nice to get a few more patriots out for a viper breathing exercise.

Anyone up for breakfast at Flo's Diner, Saturday Dec 6?  Meet at 7:00, breakfast at 8:00?

Dec 6, Sunny and 70F

[OrignalRoot swore he was coming on this 3-day run over last weekend and bagged the run again the night before, (so I am officially not talking to him),]

Okay Eastern Sierra Viper participants.  I made this for Hank Otten at the Copper Top BBQ in Big Pine.  Delivered it on Thursday, OrignalRoot swore he was coming on this 3-day run over last weekend and bagged the run again the night before, (so I am officially not talking to him), So Cal MINI Maniacs did a 3 day run up the Eastern Sierra, 1st night Bishop, 2nd night Lake Tahoe with river boat dinner cruise, 3rd night Mammoth Lakes.  This is the framed picture of our viper visit to Copper Top and was delivered by hand to Hank.

Ha ha

To bad we don't have that duet on video! :-)
