NEVCA Family,
The Details are rolling in, and everyone's getting excited.
There are two options being provided for you to attend the NY Auto Show. Either way it looks like a lot of us from New England will be attending. This promises to be a spectacular event. Man I can't wait, but first…
If you have renewed your VCA membership for 2012, you will be receiving a very special invitation from SRT
(that’s right, the team that is giving us the Gen V Viper) in the mail.
This invitation is to see the brand new Gen V Viper (Stryker) in a private facility in NYC as well as party with SRT on April 4[SUP]th[/SUP]. That’s right; the SRT team wants the VCA members and their
guests to see the new Viper before the general public at the upcoming NYC Auto Show in April. The actual VCA unveiling will take place in sometime in the evening on April 4[SUP]th[/SUP]. The
actual itinerary will be on the invitation. Soon after SRT does a press unveil with the Gen V, they will haul it to a private facility in SOHO for us to see! The Gen V is being unveiled right in our backyards!
If you have
NOT renewed your VCA membership for 2012
, you will NOT receive an invitation from SRT or be able to register for this event. To renew your membership:
https://www.viperclub.org/membership/ This will be a first-come, first-serve registration so get renewed ASAP and keep an eye out for those invitations. In addition to this special event, your officers are arranging the following in cooperation with NY/CT region:
Options Summary:
·
Coach Bus Transportation from/to Tator’s Garage to the unveiling on April 4[SUP]th[/SUP], Hotel somewhere near Tator Garage (CT?)
·
Official Hotel of the VCA for NYC Auto Show, Gen V Unveil and Cocktail party!
Option 1:
Coach Bus From Tator’s Garage April 4[SUP]th
[/SUP]
NY/CT Region is putting together a package with a coach bus company to provide transportation to/from
Tator’s Garage and the Gen V unveiling for April 4[SUP]th[/SUP]. Those wishing NOT to drive into NYC have the option to meet up at Tator’s Garage, feast on the Wizard’s deviled eggs and enjoy a comfortable trip to the Gen V unveiling.
Bus Location: Tator’s Garage South Salem, NY
Bus Departure Time: Afternoon on April 4[SUP]th[/SUP]
Bus Return Time: Late evening on April 4[SUP]th[/SUP]
Cost: TBD (depends on how many sign up) Estimating between $20-30pp.
The New England Region plan as it stands right now is to join the NY/CT Region, take the bus down and back on the 4[SUP]th[/SUP]. Since it will be a late night we will be looking for a reasonable hotel to crash before heading home on the 5[SUP]th[/SUP].
If you would like to take advantage of riding the bus,
please reply to this email and let me know ASAP. Or reply/respond here:
[url]http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/650546-NY-Auto-Show-April-4th[/URL]. NY/CT region is negotiating a bus contract and obviously the more we have sign up the cheaper the pricing will be. Final bus trip details will be made available once the Gen V unveil itinerary for April 4[SUP]th[/SUP] is known, hopefully in the next two weeks.
