    Who says the Gen III cars look like vettes?

    Still has the original XGTZ's on it. What a track day that would be.

    Yep. I'll be coming to Phoenix, I'll be missing the dream weekend. You can tell I love this club if I'm giving that up! A few of my officers will be running the show while we're with the national group.

    IL VCA Charity Event!

    Most likely will, at the end of the event they already asked we come back next year. It was a big hit. The Viper Vision newsletter is on it's way to folks. The 2 page spread tells the story. We'd be glad to have you.

    Herb "Grailkeeper" Helbig announces Retirement....

    I've enjoyed the time I've had over the years racing with Herb and having hte opportunity to meet the folks he works with. He's done a lot for the car, for the Viper club, and for those of us personally who had a chance to know him. Best wishes Herb. You put smiles on a lot of faces.

    Rob, I think I found the next generation that will carry a long tradition of killer videos... you! Great video, great year!

    The Passing of a Car Guy....

    Ron, terrible news. Sorry to hear about the loss. Hasn't been a good year for many. If it's any consolation, and I think you hit upon the point, he led a full life. That's a comforting feeling. I had lost my dad when I was 15. I can tell you from my side of the fence, both you and him were lucky...

    Cruise Directors

    I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to Al and Keri English for being our cruise directors. They’ll be taking a break to focus on their new family responsibilities. Our club is now one stronger thanks to their new addition to the family, Allison! Al and Keri did a great job taking us...

    Photog1 needs your prayers

    Talked to Rob just now, I couldn't believe it. He's really a tropper the way he's able to hold up, I don't think I could. I remember just recently we talked about the photograph above that they were putting together. Reminds us all how quickly life can change so tragically. The thoughts and...

    Yes folks, it's on!!!

    Historically it's been a collection of Viper and car related stops and tours. We usually begin with a club dinner on the first night. The second day is packed with different things (can't reveal them just yet), and the third day we plan to hit the North American Auto Show in Detroit on the first...

    IL VCA Winter Fest Party!

    First, I want to thank everyone for responding to my earlier email in regards to the club party, we received a TON of emails immediately! Thanks so much for that response, you’ve made this so easy! I don’t believe a more resounding consensus could possibly be made, we’re glad we asked! It...

    New Sub idea for RT/10... Comments?

    On my GenI we did something like that. I wasn’t as concerned about having all my trunk space, so we added a lot of gadgets and made the speaker enclosure larger (2 cb ft). You could build it much smaller with a smaller air space. We went with one JL Audio WS6 Sub (Oh Lord, the best sub on the...

    Viper color poll

    Saw the snakeskin green up close in Belle Isle and got to see the finished snakeskin green 08 at the SRT autocross. I loved it. I have 2 red with silver stripes, thought I'd do three to be funny. But couldn't help it... have a snakeskin 08 on the way. Now I just hope those ACR parts bolt on...

    Illinois Dyno Day

    Thanks Rob, all great suggestions. Don't worry about us, we so appreciate the great comments, we do enjoy putting the events on. While I do miss racing, I still manage to get a few laps in. We're not suffering that much. I've been a member since the club started in 94, this is my way of paying...

    Anyone know where I can find a GTSR block?

    Yes, I have a member with several brand new ones! Yes, they are different. Yes, they are hard to find. He used to race, bought them as spares, never used them. I think he might be inclined to sell them if asked. In fact they are new, crated, and still wrapped! Just email me at...

    Illinois Dyno Day

    You got me thinking now! Maybe we could join another club as a subsidiary and do their events, we can just wear our jackets and it would feel like the same thing! ;.) Oh and by the way, we are looking at the Prarie Hills race track in Indiana (opening August 2008). Looks like another Autobahn...

    Illinois Dyno Day

    Ok Jon, Let me give you the not so politicially correct, comb-over unfriendly answer: You want a dyno day, go ahead. :smirk: We've had a VERY busy year. 26 events in the 25 warm weeks we've had. While I do like a good dyno day, we do need a break. We're all volunteers, unpaid, and this time...

    Illinois Dyno Day

    Yes next year. Mostly likely no for this year. Hasn't been enough time to plan and people tend to complain if they don't get enough notice ahead of time.

    Illinois Dyno Day

    It's not as much laziness, just don't like the hassle. My backup plan is to have the dealer strip (rear end, rollbar, spoiler, sill covers, interior, wheels, suspension, oil pan, etc...). All that will be left is electrical (strobes, navigation, stereo, etc..). And then sell it for the going...
