Kimballs Lancaster MA Friday Cruise In

[JackKeane]

Hey guys,

I'm planning to start hitting as many of these as I can. Good little show. Let me know if anyone is interested in meeting up.

Jack

[Martin2000GTS]

I cant make it this Friday, but Ill shoot for the following Friday!
MArtin-

[JackKeane]

Weather permitting I will see you there!

[38D]

Nice to meet you Jack and see another Viper in the wild. I'll plan to come back next week as well (9/23).

- Colin

[JackKeane]

Great to meet you Colin. That Stryker Purple is really breathtaking. See you guys Friday

[38D]

Weather forecast is looking sketchy right now. Will confirm my plans later today.

[JackKeane]

Same boat here Colin. Not looking good as of now

[38D]

I'm going to go at ~5p. Sun is shining and there is nothing on the radar.

[38D]

Rain held off! It turned cloudy, but that was about it. There was a nice plumb crazy '70s challenger an a modern plumb crazy charger 392.

Reschedule for next week?

[Stealth78]

I would like to go to this. I don't believe I can make it this week (don't think the weather is supposed to be that great anyway) but I would like to try for the following week, Oct 7th, which I believe is the last one for the season. Anyone else planning on going that day?

[38D]

I will show on 10/7 if the weather is good.

[Martin2000GTS]

I'm in for 10/7 as well!

[Stealth78]

Awesome! I have a few other buddies that might be coming as well. Keep our fingers crossed for good weather!

[Stealth78]

So far looking like 70 and sun for Friday!

[38D]

Weather is stunning. See everyone tonight!

It was great to meet you and see your car! Was definitely a great night to see everyone and cap off the season at Kimball.

Why you always looking to one up me?!!! You already have the brass wheels and now you also have to gloat about the fact that you have 6 more speakers than I do?! Real cool buddy! Real cool!

P.S. I'll believe it when I see it...talk about me not showing up for events...lol.

Hello Guys,
I just purchased a 97 GTS, blue with white stripes! waiting on delivery from New Mexico but hoping to attend some meets this spring/summer!

[JackKeane]

That is awesome! Welcome! Blue with White is my absolute favorite. Dave has a gorgeous 96. It will be beautiful to see those bad boys side to side this season. Where do you live?

I am from Millbury, this is a whole new world to me. I am coming from a 600whp Acura RSX to this. Mass emissions finally pushed me to the edge to buy the viper since I can't enjoy my old car anymore due to a flag. Always loved these cars and finally bought one, can't wait to drive it. It's been sitting pretty in my garage for the past week, furthest i drove it was down the driveway into the garage so far. I will definitely be taking it easy for awhile while i learn the car.


Congrats! Look forward to seeing it.

Thanks, I look forward to coming out and seeing some more Vipers.

[JackKeane]

They are not as scary as everyone says.

Best thing I can recommend to get a good feel for the car is coming along for the NY/CT VOA clubs yearly autocross event at Limerock Park in CT. No walls to wreck into so you can really get on it and most likely worst case would be getting some grass/dirt in your bumper or rims. There's time trials so you can see how you're really doing, you can do the skid pad to get the feel for when it's about to let go, ride along with some amazing drivers in their cars (everything from a gen1 on slicks to a 5ACRE) and those drivers will also ride along with you to give you pointers. It was only $160 for the day if I remember correctly. Some say the best bang for the buck mod are gears. I think it's the driver mod personally haha!

Would def be up for trying that, going to try to borrow a boroscope from my coworker and investigate if the baffles were installed on my oil pan or not. I see it can be an issue when autocrossing. Also the previous owner seemed to do spirited driving since theres a roll bar installed. Not sure if he installed baffles or not so i figured during an oil change ill get a camera popped inside the oil pan so I can figure out if I have baffles or not.

[Stealth78]

Also looking forward to Kimball's this year!

[jeff122886]

What day is Kimballs opener? And who is going to saturdays season opener?

I want to say Kimballs starts sometime in May. I will be attending this Saturday. Would you like to meet up somewhere? There aren't a lot of us from this area. I usually meet up with a couple of my buddies that are from Shrewsbury and Boylston area, but neither of them are able to make the opener.....

[jeff122886]

Yea, that would be cool. Not sure how long I will stay, i am working nights this weekend so have to be home around 5ish.

I might go if I can get out of work early enough. Would love to see that Mazda!

[JackKeane]

I’ll be headed there tomorrow as long as the weather is nice. We’ll see if anyone else shows. Technically I don’t think it starts until next Friday but I’m sure some will show up anyway.

[jeff122886]

Anyone heading up this friday?

[JackKeane]

Hey Jeff I was hoping to but it’s looking like a wash out unfortunately.

[jeff122886]

Hey Jeff I was hoping to but it’s looking like a wash out unfortunately.

Yea. I noticed that, maybe another time

[Stealth78]

This is another nice spot to meet. Hoping to head out there in the next few weeks.

[jeff122886]

I think im going tonight, anyone interested??

[Chorn]

I'd be interested in going to Kimballs. Anyone still going this year? Might not take the Viper the first time, I want to see how many sticky fingers there are first.

Sorry, just seen this thread, even though it's two years old... :slap:

[ACRSNK]

I was thinking about going. Depends on what time I can get out of work. Definitely worth going. Lot’s of nice cars.

[Stealth78]

I would like to go once this year. When do they stop?

[ACRSNK]

I think in October.

[jeff122886]

anyone planning on going to any of these?

[ACRSNK]

Sure gonna try.
