On August 5th 2006 I will be hosting the second annual Viper and exotic car cruise through historic Fredericksburg VA ending at a local car show. We will meet for the cruise at 4:00 PM at the Park and Ride off Rt. 17 in Stafford County Virginia. The cruise will start at 5:00 PM. There will be snacks and drinks prior to the cruise. The cruise will travel down the scenic route 218 through Stafford and King George Counties. The return trip will include a trip through historic Fredericksburg Virginia. The cruise will end at the 5 and Diner in Central Park in Spotsylvania County. We should arrive between 6:00 and 7:00 PM. There will be a car show there with many other beautiful show cars. The car show will end at 9:00 PM with awards. Below are maps of the route and directions to the Park and Ride, as well as, the 5 and Diner. Feel free to come out and enjoy a Saturday evening with some of the most beatiful cars on the east coast.

Directions to Park and Ride:
From points north:
Take I-95 south to exit 133 towards Warrenton (Rt17 west)

I should be there, provided it is not 100 degrees outside. Hopefully the weather breaks a little by then.

I posted on the Ferrari forum too. So, far we have the most with 4 confirmed Vipers. Last year I think we had 8 Vipers and 18 cars total. It's still two weeks away but we need more. Don't let the other clubs beat us. It is a Viper Club event after all. So far we have about 10 cars. 4 Vipers, a C6 Z06, a couple Cameros (one supercharged), a Lotus Elise, a Ferrari 308, and an Eclipse Spyder. Come on out if ya can.

Yes, rain or shine unless the call is for really bad thunderstorms. It is at the begining of huricane season, so if a really bad storm is coming we'll reschedule.

*** my cell is 540-207-6534. If you need help with a place to stay or anything let me know. Heck if you just need some sleep you can come by my shack and save some $$$.

As it stands I have about 10 cars guaranteed with the possibility of as many as 30. Since I didn't have a great response from the Ferrari guys I broadened out to other cars. Those include old Mopar classics, newer muscle cars like Camero, Mustang and Vette, I invited a Ford GT, some old rods, and even a few Japanese and German tuner cars. Needless to say it should be an interesting mix. If you can make it come on out. Weather looks good so far! :2tu:
