Here's my race preparation checklist. I created this specifically for my Competition Coupe, however, most of it applies to any Viper being prepared for a track event. I perform all steps before each race event. Working by myself, it requires about 20 hours, which includes a complete corner weighting and race alignment. Hope this helps.
