Bobby Archer wins GT-1 and Dave Blaney wins GT-C at Putnam Park.

[Skip at Viper Days]

A rain delay allowed only one race to be run on Sunday at 1:30. Bobby Archer started third but was first by turn three and he did not relinquish the lead! Dave Blaney, from NASCAR and BUSH fame, started eighth and finished forth while winning his class! It was his first time ever in a Viper Comp. Coupe and he learned how to handle it real fast!

The first Neon Racing League (NRL) race started behind the VRL and the GT-Neon Modified class was won by rookie Jeff Stout with Cathy Stout 2nd. The GT-T-2 Neon class was won by Tom Atherton.

A complete race report will be posted on the VRL web sit at www.viperdays.com
Check it out!

The next race will be at Mid-America Motorplex near Omaha, NE

THANKS, Skip to you and Family, the racers and support teams, the trackside SERVICE, and our friends at Putnam Park for a GREAT show and Driving School !!!! I have seldom seen as many ear-to-ear grins as noted Sunday afternoon...and our local VCA members who participated are still pumped...and getting ready to go again.

Can't wait for the NEXT Viper Days.

Bobby drove Johnny Weigel's car, the #23 as he usually does to perfection. There should be pictures on the Viperdays website shortly. Except for the rain on Saturday, it was another great Viperdays weekend!

Thanks to the Viper Days team for another great weekend. My wife drove in the Challenge Series and really learned a lot from the instructors (you don't think she'd listen to me?)

The rain provided an excellent excuse for me to take our new bone-stock SRT-4 out for its maiden track voyage and what a hoot these cars are!

Thanks also to all of the VRL drivers for a great race on Sunday. Competing in my first race was truly a memorable experience! Can't wait for the next one!

I just wish they'd come a little closer. What happened to the Daytona event? I guess they couldn't close the deal. C'mon Skip, there's gotta be some venues in the south you can trek to.

Chuck,
We are trying hard to come south. How does Sebring sound in 2005??
