My wife is looking for an empty seat to ride along. She can't stand being in my car due to the pace I drive..................

We will get to the host hotel Wednesday night if all works out. Let me know if anybody has an empty, we will be at the ******* Barrel on Friday

 

[uvbnbit]

I think we are planning on pulling out of CB 10:30am. would be a good idea for everyone to start arriving 9:30ish or sooner to allow time for socializing, etc.

Im really debating on doing this event this year. The wife and I have time off so it works that way. The 11 hour drive im not pumped about. Im also wondering if many or anyone from Michigan or Ohio are going and we could meet up for the drive down.
Reply or pm me if interested.

 

[uvbnbit]

I think there are a few coming down from OH...PA too.

We make the 11 hour drive also from New Orleans. It's a great time and well worth the trip. What other event puts you together with about 40-50 vipers cruising MTN roads all weekend! Go for it!!

You all have fun this weekend!!! I had plans to join the group on Fri for my first TOD ride, but had the car out yesterday and came across a softball sized rock right in middle of the road. It got my oil pan and has seriously derailed my plans on making the TOD trip. Maybe next year, and beware of rocks in the road!!! Haha

 

[uvbnbit]

Won't be able to repair it in time? Come anyway, maybe ride with someone. Or at least come to the dinner/mixer friday eve and/or Sat eve. and meet some of us. It'll be great!

What year is your car? I can send you one, BUT it can be welded locally very easily. You can still make it!!!

2003 It happened about an hour from my home near a relatives house. I haven't been able to survey the damage since I had to just park it and couldn't get much access to inspect the pan. I am working on logistics of getting it home by tow or trailer it myself. Not really sure I want to turn it over to just any tow driver!

You're welcome to caravan down with us.
We'll be on GMRS ch. 10; message me for a phone number.

You'll have a great time if you come down!

Check your ***. If it is only the pan, we can fix you up

Room is booked. Just got off the phone. We are going to try and make it down there in time for supper friday evening. Should be a great time. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Not looking forward to the drive down. Oh well.

Thanks for the offer Kevan! 99 RT/10 has got me a pan on the way fedex, I might just make it yet. Plan to trailer the disabled car home after work tomorrow and see exactly how bad the impact was. Hope to see you all at ******* Barrel Fri morn!

YOU CAN DO IT!
We have a member/Viper mechanic in K'ville. Let me know if you need his number. Maybe he'll be able to help?

There will also be about two dozen or so Viper owners there with extensive Viper-works experience who I'm sure would lend a helping hand.
