    If I Wanted to go into the engine.....

    For about 25-30K you can have the block overbored, heads done, race pistons done, cam done and Dry sumped. This will add from 140-200 HP with good reliabilty. Give John at West Coast Viper. They do a great job.

    Speed WCGT Rds 6 & 7 at Mosport as seen through the Woodhouse windshield

    Bob, I had fun for those 4-5 laps running with you, even though you had 2 spins. I think the fans in turn 8 were loving the action as we both were dualing for that turn. You got me there on the inside line 4 times in a row. I am looking forward to our next match. Lets see if we can both...

    Woodhouse, Archer , and McCann in the top 10 - Qualifying!!!

    The problem is not just the tires, but the weight. The increase from last years weight of 3100 to 3200 does not help cornering speed or the braking. Additionally the splitter was pulled back from 4 inches to 80mm, which is near 3 inches. All these things are affecting the cars performance...

    Comp Coupe Wins Second Formula Drift Event at Houston

    Yikes....What is Dodge thinking. They bail on beating the competition of the Corvette in the most prestigious endurance series ever to use all there talent to win sliding contests. Corvette must be laughing all day at that one. Maybe next we can add some neon lighting to the Comp Coupe and...

    If you are married or have a significant other

    The real issue is the cars weren't about her or us. Didn't want me to have anything. It was something I WANTED! I begged her to go to the events with me but would just start breaking my stones about it. For 25 years I supported anything she ever wanted to do, and devoted those years to my...

    If you are married or have a significant other

    Well, after 11 months the Divorce is final. Sad that 27 years went down the drain, but hopefully, the future will be brighter. When it was all said and done I think I did ok. I got ALL the toys and my business. I keep both Vipers, the boat, waverunners, and the business, and 1/2 of all the...

    If you are married or have a significant other

    My wife never knew how much I really made or ever spent but for 23 years I spent every dime on my family. For the last 8 years the wife made 35-45K a year working. I paid allmost ALL the bills. She bought the food, clothes for me and spent the rest anyway she liked. I never complained about the...

    Understeer

    Not much to go on from what you provided. Would need to know tire pressures cold and hot? What tires you running? What track is is understeering on? Is it right handers or left handers? The Viper can easily be made to induce power oversteeer. From a stock setup tire pressures are your best bet...

    POCONO RACEWAY ON APRIL 7TH

    Doesn't sound good for Pocono. They are now saying over 6 inches of snow! This suc*s. I just talked with ADel and he is trying to find out if the track will close. So far he has not heard from or been able to talk with anyone, but with 6 inches plus of snow and an 80% probability it isn't...

    Gary, We will look for you. We are hanging there to watch the 12 hour race also. I rented a Motorhome to hang at. The CC will have some restrictions. It has a 100 Lb weight penalty for the brakes so it is 3300 Lbs "as raced". Splitter is to be no more than 4 inches pass body work and a series...

    SEBRING VIPER CLUB EVENT CANCELLED!

    Sorry to see Dodge won't splurge alittle with the event. We are there for our first World Challenge event with our Viper and with AVR in the 12 race would have been nice for Dodge to show some support.

    HIGHLY SPRUNG OR ANTI ROLL?

    Well here is my 2 cents......There is no one majic setup, as every track is different, as well as ones driving style. Softer setups are usually more compliant and stiff setups require very precise steering input. If you are very smooth in the corners stiff may be good. We run different setups...

    Two Vipers take 1-2 at Sebring

    Hey Rich, We are hoping the same also that the extra seat time on the technical part of Sebring may help. The Toyo's as the raced wore on were actually rather good. We had a slight push in the car from the smaller 275 fronts, but working on some shock tuning we think we will have that under...
