When you qualify for a free membership, the information takes quiet a while to get processed. Most things are done in batches so the staff can get events and Zone Rendezvous taken care of. Sometimes the person who processes the name tags, insurance, welcome package, etc is traveling on vacation or to a regional event, and it gets delayed. Sometimes the dealership is also delayed in sending the information to DC, which then batches them together and sends them to VCA. Dealing with Corportate America sometimes seems to take forever.
However, there is a local shortcut. Simply contact your local ViperClub President. Give him your VIN, date of purchase etc, and he will hook you up immediately with all the great stuff going on at the local level. You will be invited to meet with other club members at regional events, begin to get the local clubs newsletters, e-mails, and put on phone lists. He also can give you information on any current national events, and make sure you are kept up to date on happenings, both local and national.
Welcome to the club.
