Is this what having a new baby has done? Unfortunately it happens all of the time.
Sorry that you have to sell the Z car. What are you replacing it with?
Good luck.

May the Lord bring comfort to family and friends for your loss. It sounds like this young man touched many people's hearts. It is very sad that the Lord called him home so soon.
We'll keep you their family in our prayers.
Nope not me Vic. Venom Lover is Mike P. From what I understand he was transferred in his aerospace job and is commuting a long distance in his Cobra Mustang. I have not seen him in quite a while, but I believe that he still has the '97 GTS that he set up for 1/4 miles.
I don't believe that...
Nils:
Welcome to the dark side. I hope that you have put in plenty of seat time in your Viper and attended at least a couple track schools. The reason is that the weakest performance link in a Viper is the nut holding the wheel.
IMO, if you can't squeeze competitive times (laps or strip)...
Re: Paul Mumford article in Sports Car International Jan \'04
Hey Guys:
For those of you who are interested, there is another good article about Paul in the latest Racer Magazine (Dec. '03 pages 86-88). I picked up a copy at Barnes & Noble. It's titled "Viper Strikes-Privateer Paul...
Why would anyone be interested in VOI if nothing is happening that would attract us there. He couldn't even tease you with anything? If I had to read between the lines, it sounds like the Germans are keeping their options open by not committing to Viper development.
I can't wait for a summer...
You would think that these regions would listen to these kinds of comments and do something to bring old members back into the fold...
I have never heard from the SoCal VCA since I let my membership lapse. To tell you the truth, I never heard from them when I was a member. Unfortunately, the...
I'm not into the wine & cheese garage queen crowd either. Not enough real car people, and too many car snobs who flaunt their money around. That's why I didn't renew my membership. It got to be an expensive subscription to Viper Magazine. JMO.
So tell us the results of the dinner with Fernandez? Did he leak out ANY significant news?
I wasn't able to make it this year because of some things that came up at the last minute.
Is the 427 they are talking about the short block or a big block 427? The bowtie guys had to bore and stroke their small block out to 427 to compete with the Vipers at Le Mans. From what I understand, this is the block that Lingenfelter uses to tune his big boy with.
As far as mystique, I...
I'll be there, but the Snake is getting color sanded and polished around this time. Are you guys going to be hooking up somewhere besides the VCA dinner?
Brad
I'll probably be there next month. There is usually a gathering of Viper owners for dinner one of the evenings of the show. It's a great place to meet everyone.

Re: Bio On Mumford/this post done earlier in wrong category...long
Great story Dave.
I remember meeting (through Dave) Paul just after he bought his first GTS at Neighborhood Service (where Dave worked for so many years). He went out and set the lap record at Willow Springs on his first...
The aluminum hinges wear out and need to be replaced. I adjusted these several times and it always went back out of alignment. I replaced the weather strips (which aren't cheap) a couple of times before I was told that the hinges needed to be replaced. I went to a "supposed" reputable shop...
Re: Considering buying a \'96 GTS...
Jason:
The 96's have cast wheels, whereas the 97's were forged. I never had any window rattling problems in my '96 GTS. The only issue that I have had is sagging door hinges that needed to be replaced.
Both '96 and '97 cars have Gen 1 airbags with no...
I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. That is a hard lesson to learn about when and where to show off your skills and your car's capabilities.
My deepest condolences to you and the families of your friends.
Brad
Ken:
Spoken like a true friend... straight from the heart. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and memories of Paul. His life will go on in the hearts of those that he touched.
Our prayers go out for you and all of Paul's friends and family.
