What ideas do you have to determine the “Fastest Car Club?” For example, we could take the fastest five laps (or some other number of laps) from both clubs and the sum of the lowest times is the winner. Each race is eight minutes and a transponder tracks the time for every lap. Each person will...

John,
No that's not mine, I believe that's a 30 Ford.
Sorry you guys had ice and road salt. We've dodged the bullet on the nasty stuff in Richmond.

We had a great Polar Bear Run. There were about 40 cars and 80 participants. We cruised from Chester, VA to Ladysmith, VA. We stopped at the Virginia Bazaar in Ladysmith to shop and then cruised to the Flying J to eat. It was a bit to cold to put the top down so everyone had their tops up. Below...
The weather looks good for the Polar Bear Run. However, it may be a bit too cold to make the run top down. Below is the weather forecast for Saturday:
“Sunshine. Highs in the low 40s and lows in the upper 20s.”
The meeting place for the run is the East Coast gas station, 13200 Kingston Ave...
Mike,
I'll be driving the Viper with the top down if the weather is at least 50 degrees. It often fills up about 2 weeks before the event so it's best to sign up and let Fred know if you cannot make it.
Mark your calendar for the “Polar Bear Run” on January 31, 2009. The run normally includes a cruise to see a couple of local car collections and it ends at a restaurant for lunch. Normally there are 100+ participants. The cars on the run include street rods, antiques, customs, muscle cars...
Thanks to all who attended. We had a great event for the Children’s Miracle Network. They were still totaling the donations when I left so I don’t know the total amount that was donated.
We had 17 Vipers with a total of 10,532 HP. The Corvette Club of Richmond had 48 Corvettes with a total of...

Below are some photos of the tropies for the Horsepower Challenge. They range in height from 34 inches to 30 inches. The top trophy is the "King of the Hill" on the left. The other three tropies are for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Viper in the judged part of the event.
Dan,
I went to a local cruise-in Friday night and the Corvette Club of Richmond showed up in force. They have a good club with lots of activities and an interest in charity events.
They must have had 50 Corvettes there. My Viper was all alone among the Corvettes. I was promoting the...
We’re going to have a “Horsepower Challenge” again this year in Richmond, VA. The event will be part of the “Christmas in September” event at the Children’s Hospital, 2904 Brook Road, Richmond, VA on September 20, 2008. This is a charity event for the Children’s Miracle Network. Last year’s...
Thank you Greg and Flora for hosting this event. This was a first class event!
Matt and Mike, thanks for organizing the cruises to the event.
JonB, thanks for the door prizes. You've got to make one of our events.
Mike, I just found out that this event is for 1988 and older cars and they cannot make an exception for the Vipers. I will take my 39 Chevy instead of my Viper. Let me know if you'd like to ride with me to the event. You could leave your daily driver at the Hardee's in Hopewell.
Mike, my other car club, Oldies But Goodies Classic Cruizers, is not going to have the cruise-in in Hopewell on July 4th because of the fireworks display that will be going on at Fort Lee. Instead we’re going to cruise down to the Yorktown Celebration. The Oldies But Goodies is a “Viper...
Welcome to the VCA. I live off of Hull Street Road in Chesterfield County. I’m also in the Oldies But Goodies Classic Cruziers. We have a cruise-in every Friday in the Crossing Shopping Center in Hopewell. We go most Friday nights. We bring the Viper most Fridays but sometimes drive our 1939...
The VA/MD VCA is a member of the Car Club Council of Central Virginia. I talked with the president of the council last night and he said he’s working on legislation that would permit antique cars to have only one plate. He’s looking for a legislator to sponsor the bill.
The goal is to open up...
