Well, as usual the Mid-Ohio Viper Days Event is SOLD OUT!!! They have a waiting list , again, and this is always a key event for the year. Make sure you get ahold of Courtney early for the May Event at Mid-America Motorplex, as it is very likely to be another sell out, and the reasons are simple:

1. Track is brand new and will be the safest and fastest in the Midwest --- lots of runoff with only grass and not trees, ditches, etc.
2. 2.23 miles long with visibility of the entire track, for spectators.
3. On track food vendors, showers for drivers, fuel ( always available ), asphalt paddock, on-site air, grandstands, and more.
4. Only 15 minutes from Omaha and the host Hotel.
5. Host Hotel right next door ( 100 ft ) from the Ameristar Casino.
6. Host hotel ( Holiday Inn and Suites ) only $79 for Viper Days participants.
7.Big Party Friday Nite at the Hotel.
8.GIANT party on Saturday ---- bus ride with hors dourves and liquid refreshment from the Hotel to Woodhouse Chrysler ,Dodge and Jeep. Banquet and entertainment to follow, with return bus ride for all driver,guests, etc.
9. Great Instruction on a track designed with safety first, and track width is extremely wide with a 40ft minimum at all spots on the track.
10. Dodge Dealers will have a display with current models and have info available.
11. Viper Corral for members who aren't racing , but want to come up and hang with other SnakeCharmers.
12. Paid gate with an expected 5000 spectators coming to watch the 2 Viper Racing League Races ) - Sat. and Sun.
13. THE COMPETITION COUPE WILL BE THERE TO VIEW!!!
14. And last..................................................

THE 2003 SRT-10 WILL BE THERE TO SEE, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL!!!

or call Courtney or Skip at 1-847-594-VIPR


PS - Keep in mind, First Timers, to ask for the VCA sponsored First Event Discount of $100 off your entry fee !!! This is a great deal, and with the extreme width of this track, this will be one of the best tracks around to get instruction.

I know many of us are going to come up from Kansas City for this great event. Likewise, the Iowa folks are going to jump on this opportunity as well. For those that are pondering, <FONT COLOR="red">PONDER NO MORE</FONT c>, as this one will also be a sell out. Don't wait until the spots are all gone. Should be a fantastic time and GREAT for first timers. See you there!

I'm in! Unfortunately this will be my only Viper Days this year unless somebody pays me to put decals on # 34. Anybody out there wanna promo their company on a Viper???

Hey Courtney, it would be a good idea to cash that check as soon as you get it.

Bill, please forgive me, but I always feel better when I can SEE the dates...part of getting OLD, I guess.( me, not you !!). May 17, 18, and 19 are the dates for Mid-America Viper Days. Sounds like a great venue...and it is easily reached from our area. I will remind the Ind/Ky folks at our tech session this weekend.

Wow, Bruce that is major radical. The Airport is just across the river from the Casino and the Host Hotel, so it is only about 15 minutes from Eppley Air Field to the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites.

Well, Tom, I would be happy to pick you up at the Airport. Just let me know a day ahead of time so I can get the John Deere warmed up. I might be a little late as she tops out at 22mph, but heck it has an enclosed cab, and I just got a new-fangled 8-track system so we can hoot and holler all da way back ta Blair.

OK, its time to tell the story... I have been saving this...

Last year at Mid Ohio, Tom Sessions, (then our favorite Viper tech, now the ViperDays Tech Inspector AND our favorite Viper Tech) accompanied us to the east coast opener.

Bill, the nice guy that is he, offered for Tom to share a room with him in exchange for some trackside - ahem - "service" - after confirming that Bill meant brake pad changes, tire pressure checks, etc. Tom agreed.

Friday evening, after the customary "Welcome extravaganza", we drove the "bar car" back to the hotels. Tom, who doesn't drink, was with Henry, me and Bill. Bill was up front in the truck, wine in one hand, cigar in the other, hanging out the window assaulting Jeff Ellison. After that exchange, he proceeded to verbally terroize Henry for driving slow as to let the truck warm up.

SPEED READ here to get the tempo of the one sided conversation...

"Heck, Henry, we oughtta just stay at the track! At this rate, we'll have to turn around and come back as soon as we get to the hotel..." "Gee Henry, I hope you drive a little faster than this tomorrow, otherwise, Janni will be lapping you..." "Come on Henry, Tom has to get his beauty rest"

At which time, Tom turned to Bill, and in his best stone cold sober, sincere yet worried voice asked............

Bill, assuming that I can get to this FINE venue, can I also get a tour of the Woodhouse Dealership ? Before you answer, understand that I'm just USING you to get closer to NANCY in Parts....as she has THE STUFF in stock that others only DREAM of drop-shipping !!!
