    MCVO Separates from National VCA

    Seriously Bob? From a lawyer who want to see everything? The raffle location was not where it was stated. There was no legal registration number. Who did the drawing? Was it supervised? By who? Why wasn't it done as in years past (when it was registered with the state and done legally)? Hell...

    Raffle?

    EXACTLY! This is not a tough, behind the scenes work question that they can use the excuse of "work is ongoing" with. When? Where? Who? How?

    MCVO Separates from National VCA

    Bob, the money that local clubs get from nationals is not from a "pot of money contributed by all members". Each region gets a certain (I thought it was $55, but maybe it's $65) amount of the dues paid by each of their regional members. If all of the money was put into a pot and then...

    MCVO Separates from National VCA

    I'm not seeing a connection between the MCVO by-laws Bob posted and the MCVO withdrawing from the VCA. The MCVO did not expel any members.

    MCVO Separates from National VCA

    Just like the VCA members get any say in anything with the VCA? Here's the real difference though. I can guarantee you this though. If anyone of the members has an issue with it, there will be open and honest discussion about it with that BOD and the officers. THAT is the difference.

    MCVO Separates from National VCA

    With the silence going on and talk slowing down slightly, it feels like the current admin is waiting on this "blow over" and maybe make a few tweaks, which would allow them to stay in control. That scares the hell out of me. I know that people are saying there is work being done behind the...

    24 Hrs of Le Mans-TEAM VIPER AUTOGRAPHED HATS and SHIRTS!

    I hope you make sure to send at least the customary 60% of the proceeds to national. ;)

    New Viper owner? Time to join the VCA!

    I agree with your statement, but ViperGTS is right. They can come on and answer that, but not the REAL questions. If they aren't answered soon, there won't be anymore newbie questions to answer (at least not with the VCA).

    Same Old Thing...Different Day

    If I had bought tickets, I'd be PISSED!!! I tell you right now, if I was one of the people supplying any of the additional prizes, I'd sure as hell come out right now (before the winners are announced) and say no prizes will be awarded until everything is known to be legal, verified and all of...

    Raffle?

    Does anyone know where it was done, who did it, who oversaw it, how they got it licensed that quickly and what it ended up costing to get someone to license it in 12th hour after tickets were already sold?

    VCA Raffle car just arrived at Woodhouse!!!

    Mike, I HOPE you're wrong, on the first part, but very right on the last part. If they stick around and build an ACR of the Gen V, it connot be just adding some aero and suspension/brake tweaks like previous years. It needs to be an ALL OUT MONSTER and have the looks to go with it. I love the...

    Woo Hoo! Just picked up a long time desired GEN 3. Lots of dumb questions to follow

    Re: Woo Hoo! Just picked up a long time desired GEN 3. Lots of dumb questions to foll What do you mean by "10% off the actual speed"? Are saying the speedometer is off by 10%? If so, then something is wrong from the rebuild. You do not have to put a speedo correction gear in the Gen III's to...

    New owner ACRx

    X 1,0000!!! I've had blast tracking my "regular" Viper, and would love to see what I could do in a car with upgraded suspension, brakes, and especially downforce! Luckily, a fellow local member built a Viper Cup car this past year and had it out with us at Road Atlanta with NARRA. After...

    Rumors...what's the dealio?

    Bob, your last post is the first reasonable thing you've said on this topic. "The letter" is not what caused the problems though. The problems have been ongoing and "the letter" getting out is the only thing that has changed that. Even once it was leaked, anything mentioning it on this site...

    Rumors...what's the dealio?

    The $150/year dues means absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, not re-upping memberships is the only voice or power we have. As for the "drama queens" being the reason Chrysler/SRT might pull away from the VCA. Your head really is somewhere on this subject. There's a REASON that this many...

    Rumors...what's the dealio?

    A few points: 1. The local club only gets about $55 per member from nationals (VENOM or not), and those payments have been getting harder and harder to get for at least some areas. 2. Bob says to stay a member and work for change within the club. Unfortunately, this is not possible. As we've...

    Would you be ok if this was added to the viper

    That's how my race car is and I love it. Although it still requires bumping the throttle and taking you hands off the wheel to downshift. I haven't ever driven a flappy-paddle car on the race track personally, but having an auto-blip for downshift and never moving your hands does seem like it...

    2006 Coupe Blk/Blk possible odometer fraud

    Just look at all of the other date/miles info. Does it consistently rise in mileage and then over time and then drop, or is it always a low mile car, then a super high number, then back down to fall in line with the low miles again? Either way, as AZTVR stated, if you buy it, you better big...

    I didn't realize my current one had an open gate, Lexus shifter in it.

    Center console hot to the touch!

    + another one on checking for tears in the boot. Mine's a Gen III, but my console used to get so hot, I had my phone in there once and when I pulled it out, it had shut itself down and had a message that it had reached too high of a temp to safely operate (or something like that). I put a new...

    Emergency brake not working???!

    Absolutely awful design and the inner pads wear out really quickly. Especially if you use the ebrake very often at all (I don't), or track the car (I do). That said, when I do have to use it, it does sometimes take me pulling the ebrake up and down a few times for it to build up enough...

    Used AMB 260 Transponders?

    No kidding! I know we might have gone a bit overboard with electronics on our TR's, but with the TraqDash, Cool Suit, Communications, Cameras, and now adding the transponders, we're gonna have half the cost of the car added again from our add-ons. lol If you don't care about mylaps, and they...

    Used AMB 260 Transponders?

    I'm looking for 2 of the hardwired versions. I'll have to buy them in the next week or so, but thought I'd try here first. Having access to mylaps is really no big deal to me, as we've already got full Traqmate systems in both cars. I just hate to shell out almost another grand for these.
