In 2004 I went down to VOI 8 to Dallas with my Viper from Montreal. Everything went perfectly until the parade on Thursday Sept 9 2004 in downtown Dallas. As everybody else I lined up in the parade on Main street with the 400 other Vipers. The Viper parade was impressive and slow. Some local folks got angry about this parade. One of the guys waiting in his Camaro jumped into the Viper crowd and started bumping around the Vipers. Imagine a speeding Camaro in the crowd. I don’t know who setup the parade but it was poorly organized and things were going very slowly. The police was not up to the task either. There was not enough police officers to help and advise the local folks.
Once the guy passes by my Viper, he turns right to take the entrance of a factory. He makes a huge burn out throwing rocks inside my Viper and making a hole in my door ! My wife was hit by a rock on her face. Then the guy calmly gets out of his Camaro and yells at me “this is a private property and you should not cross the gate”. His manager repeats the same thing 10 minutes later when I insisted. I wanted to get the coordinates of the driver. I also called the police at 911. They only arrived a good hour later. The 911 operator was telling me that there were cops with the Vipers and I should talk to them ? I was left alone in the middle of the street. Where were these cops I don’t know. I called the 911 several times.
Finally two cops arrived and went into the factory to get the driver. It seems that the guy had no insurance and had some issues with his driving license. The cops took the coordinates of the driver and left. No ticket, No arrest, No communication. So I still don’t know who is that driver but I have a citation to the Forth Worth Municipal court for Mary 13th 2008 !!!
We missed everything on that Thursday at VOI 8. I think we only got back to the hotel at 2PM. In fact we were left alone in the middle of nowhere in Dallas suburb. We had no idea where we were. It took me at least 8 months until I had the door fixed and forgot this incident. Now 4 years late I get this citation !? How things work in Texas ?!
I have no idea what the citation is for ... It's like a short paper to show up in the court on a given date.
It is better not to mess with this type of Municipal citation. They can arrest you in 5 years and bring you to the Municipal Judge .. What a sh...
What should I do ?
