Heard from a reliable source that Arrow racing is closing. The source had some parts there and they were told to get them out that they were shutting down. Unfortunately, this is another "nail in the coffin" regarding the future of the Viper...

Many of us will severely miss Arrow, but I seriously doubt this is a nail for the Viper at all. I imagine it is more of a conclusion of the strong new ties with McClaren , and unfortunately Chrysler likely sees this as duplication. Tough decision, as many of us have relied on Arrow for years and not a happy time, but I don't feel your analogy is correct.

I replied to this in the GTS section, but in case you dont see that...
I was told for 3 main reasons:

1. Mclaren
2. The Comp Coupe Program no longer will be using them, and the BIG one:
3. Dodge has authorized the in-house repair of the motors.

Closing shop after 29 years. Bummer.
I got my info from a reliable source as well.

Well they refused to do hop up work on my car, yet did the same type of work on other Vipers. Met a guy a few years ago who used work for Arrow and said the owner was odd that way or something along that line..

Bye

I just spoke with Todd C. a few days ago and he was not sure what the future was going to hold but i will not doubt what JonB said espicailly when said with such conviction. I hope they stay afloat they have a lot of good people there.

If Todd C. is the Todd from Arrow, he is a big asset to the Viper community. More than once he has given me (and many others) tech support and sold me some pieces needed asap and pieces no one else had. Good news to hear they are continuing.

Thanks Mike....... by now you know ARROW survives? Todd is staying, and just moving about 1.5 miles
