Anyone else planning on attending and taking their viper? I recently bought my first Viper and was looking forward to taking it to the 24hr race, cheering on the Viper Exchange guys and maybe meet a few of you their. So far only issue is it looks like all the infield parking is sold out. Any interest in a VOA/viper dinner meet-up and any ideas on what to do with the parking situation?



Donner is booked for 7:30 at bj's. The reaervation is under Viper Owners
Association. Please arrive by 7:15.

I'll be there but can't take my car. There will be some other VOA folks there as well. ViperExchange is in the process of setting up a corral for the Sebring race in March.

A dealer tag and you could sneak the X right down I-4.. ;) . I'm in for Sebring! Is their a corral or Anything for the 24? Planning on staying the whole 24hrs.. Just have to find a place to park. if there's enough of us maybe a sat night dinner meet-up.

LOL, not going to happen. There's no corral for Daytona. I have an infield pass and am bringing my 2500. I'll be there Thur-Sun. I know some of the other guys are coming over on Sat. morning. I'm sure we can do a dinner. We've done BJ's Brewhouse before across from the track.


I will get it to Sebring for the corral there though.

Kind of depends on how the race is going. I'm sure we'll find Kurt, Chad, Alex, and Ron as well. I'd guess around 7 though

Flying in Friday! Flights at 2:30, so I should arrive 5:30 in Orlando. I'm extremely excited to go down there, not just because we have 27" of white fluffy death on the ground, but my first 24 at Daytona. Bobby will be flying in with his kids earlier on Friday and picking up an RV, think he's situated outside turn 1. I REALLY hope it stays dry the rest of the week!

My first official VOA event and it was great. Very nice to meet several other members. I think we were at BJs for close to 3 hours, great food and entertaining. Looking forward to NVE2 now.
