Funny how he is all ready to file a protest if Chad wins as he knows that the Viper can't possibly be legal if it wins. What a dope :rolleyes:

same ol' same ol'...always someone talking....after seeing Chad run, I think he has a great chance to win. There is no doubt that he has been really working hard to get the car to run the numbers it does. winning a race like that takes 1. skill 2. right car 3. and great luck. I am glad that Chad is there to represent us.

I will say this from actual experience of being in this race.....THE CRUISE IS BRUTAL...AGAIN..THE CRUISE IS BRUTAL
unless your vehicle is used to driving daily on pump gas.

Last year my viper made the cruise with no problem, but
my NOS bottles did not as the trunk got so hot and having
dual bottle heaters running..the pressure was way too high
and could not be used. I never realized how hot it gets
inside the GTS trunk with a cargo cover as the mufflers
and rear end are just outside of this compartment....

They better prepare for 30+ miles of in-town driving at
a snails pace with lots of traffic lights, followed by
back to back runs still during daylight hours for the
first two with no ability to cool down anything. We were
not even allowed to open the hood if I remember correctly.
No tuning is allowed.

Take care,

I guess Chad will just have to make sure he has a nice selection of CD's and plenty of ice in his big gulp Dr. Pepper for the drive. :D

Chad and Heffner will make them all believers! :2tu:

It's normal for some to feel threatened, and to act like bad sports.

Thanks for the heads-up Tom and to everyone else for the backing!

This turbo car runs so cool I can't even begin to worry but will just because a fellow Viper owner and past competitor suggests I do.

We will be ready.

Funny how so many are already worried.
