This year’s cruise will start in New Market, Maryland and end at Miyako Restaurant in Frederick, Maryland.

John - Car is still down south and not running yet. Based on the track record with this whole thing I'm not very optimistic I will make this event either. That will be number 3 missed. Have fun.....

John- Joe is coming, and one more, John from Leesburg.... we got 5 cars in our NOVA group (7 folks).
We are meeting at Chik - Filet in Sterling @8:30A (where the local car cruise is on Fridays).

 

[ViperJohn]

Ken,

I just realized NSRDR is Joe P. I originally didn't notice the red Z06 in his avatar. For a split second I thought it was Rick who lives in Ashburn who also has a bumble bee.

More RSVP rolled in today, we may actually break the record of 24 Vipers...

 

[unreelviper]

John, I may possibly attend the cruise, if not, hopefully I can make the lunch. Mike

Rick is Mr. Hemi Head...now lives in Bluemont. His car has been in deep storage while he builds an awesome new garage/extension on his home out there in the hills...color me jealous! And Rick never drives his car, I think he's got like 2300 miles on that thing. LOL.

Oh, and RSVP!! I'll just bring extra spark plugs and some tools!

 

[viperDoug]

I will be there John (with my wife). I am also planning on dropping your ramps off today at your house. See everyone tomorrow.

[Fast Too]

John - Wow, 24 plus Vipers. That would be a sight to see but just wouldn't be the same without my having my car there. Have a great cruise guys.

Mike, you don't have a fear of commitment do you? Just kidding, hopefully you can make it.

Just walked in the door in and saw the ramps. Hopefully they worked out. Now I'm off the re-drive the cruise to make sure there are no surprises.

Absolutely a great cruise! 26 cars, wonderful weather, and fantastic scenery and routes. Thanks John for all your effort, everyone had a great time! Where are all the pics? I saw a lot of cameras in action (forgot mine).
