Just wanted to let everyone know that Registration is open until Friday the 5th Aug 2011. You will not want to miss this event. It promises to be the event of the year, maybe longer.

You will definitely get your bang for the buck with this event. Come on out and meet some of your fellow Viper owners and enjoy the stories that are sure to come.

This looks to be a great event and at an even better price.

Can't pass this one up!!

See You There!!

Look forward to seeing you George. If you have any questions or anything, just give us a call or PM me. We are going to have a great time.

 

[got one]

I'll be there

 

[Alabaster Mamba]

Look forward to seeing you. We will be staying out there with everyone. We will have the little one with us so we may be moving slow. Well that is the reason we will use for running slow.

awesome! We can consider it early VCA recruiting

 

[cubican]

I will be there for friday and sat, what is the car count so far.

 

[Alabaster Mamba]

Sorry for the late response. I will get back to you with a rough answer when I get home. I think we have 65 people coming. That is people though and not cars. I will be checking in Thursday night so I can get an early rise for Friday. I will have maps for all of the events to handout to everyone.

 

[Alabaster Mamba]

Looks like about 30 cars. This may have changed in the last couple of days. We are going to have a great event. Lots of fun stuff. The karting event at Dallas Karting Complex is going to be a blast. Alot of the club members went on one of our events and had an incredible time. Those karts are incredibly fast and they respond extremely fast. Now if I can only manage to lose a few (20-30) pounds before the event then maybe I can get a faster time. See you all there.

 

[netapp]

Do you have the itinerary for this event yet?

 

[Alabaster Mamba]

We will be leaving the hotel at approximately 0830 or 0900. It had originally been scheduled for 0800 but due to late Drag Race time, I think it has been moved to 0900. As soon as I find out all the times, I will pass them on. I will be checking in to the Hotel on Thursday with maps and times for everyone.

 

[Bird325]

Has anyone rounded up a 'cold beer' location for Thursday night as we arrive?

 

[Alabaster Mamba]

Hey Mike,

Now that is something we need to think about. I will call out there and see what kind of area they have as far as a bar or lounge. We will start this roundup with a nice kickoff followed with a headache in the morning. lol

 

[got one]

Hey...let's plan something for Saturday morning...and Sunday morning (for those that don't do the boat)

Sound good?

Maybe a short run to a cool brunch place on Saturday?

 

[am.mscl]

Jim Korns said something is in the works for Saturday morning when I talked to him.
Still awaiting info for the cruise up to Dallas on thursday.

 

[got one]

well...lets get on it! if we can do Thursday cruising through round rock around 5ish...then you can count on 2-3 more vipers to add to the caravan...

 

[diko]

Well, I didn't plan on attending this, but work has me onsite at a client's location in Richardson. So, I will be driving up the viper next week Tuesday-Friday. If there is a Thursday night run, let me know, and I will try and make it. My plan was to go back to Austin that weekend, but the wife and kids might come up instead. Not sure I can participate in all of the activities, but definitely looking forward to driving around Dallas. A buddy of mine owns an upscale bar/restaurant in Addison with an outdoor patio overlooking the parking lot if you guys wanna meet up for dinner there one night next week. It's called the "The Social House"

[got one]

awesome!!!! You will have so much fun! C you then!

 

[Alabaster Mamba]

Fantastic! Look forward to seeing you. The bar/restaurant over in Addison sounds like fun as well. I will pass this on about your buddies bar/restaurant and see if there are any takers. Sounds like fun and some are always up for a night out.

 

[cubican]

If anyone is up for a movie we can do a ride to the Angelika in dallas and take in the Senna F1 driver story.

sounds good. once we can agree upon a date (thursday night maybe? in case other austin/sa folks come in that night), i'll let my buddy know and he can reserve some parking spots for us....

 

[Alabaster Mamba]

Hey Diko,

How about Thursday night. I know there may be some others wanting to get together as well and this may be a way that everyone can get together at one place. Are you wanting to caravan down there from the hotel (Comfort Suites) or have everyone meet there?
