WannaGofast January 2017

[ViperPete]

The date for the January 2017 WannGoFast event is January 21-22.

Who's planning on racing? Spectating?

I am planning on racing the car again for sure. What an awesome blast. I learned how to properly shift the car at the event and had a great time. I plan on having some mods this time ;)

[DEMO MAN]

I will be there for sure with a few minor mods myself.

[98intrigue]

I will try to sign up...hopefully, I'll be one of the lucky 150 who can get in.

[99RT10]

When does registration open? I am planning on going. I just went to the Clayton, GA event. Good times, parking was terrible, but that is not an issue at the Ocala event.

[kch_86]

Are you still thinking about doing the sponsorship David? Hopefully we can get enough people to join in on it. I've got another friend that would be interested.

I will be working on it in the coming weeks. I will let you know the details as soon as I find out.

[ViperPete]

Yeah the website doesn't say when the registration will open. Their facebook page may have more info....

[ViperPete]

Ok found out.

Thanks for finding out.

[VinnyRusso]

I'm planning on attending...

[nx91notch]

I am going to try to race but like stated before it's hard to get a spot.

I think last year all spots sold out in under 5 minutes.

12 minutes. Just gotta be at your computer at 7:55 AM and clicking refresh over and over.

[nx91notch]

Just a reminder This Friday (Nov. 4th) at 8 AM is the signup time.

What day is everyone planning on going? More than likely I will be working on Saturday so I may just sign up for Sunday. But if everyone here as a group is shooting for Saturday I may just call off work.

[ViperPete]

I'll be spectating on Saturday and racing on Sunday.

Reasoning..... Cars break on the first day and won't run on Sunday.

In January I got in 10 runs. Buy around 3pm I was whooped and could have probably doubled my runs from 3-5pm because a lot of people stopped running.

This year I'll probably wait until 10am or so to race. It was really cold last year. High temp of the day was 34 degrees at around 2PM.

It's also a lot more fun to watch the racing from the sideline not from behind everyone.

[98intrigue]

I'll be trying to race on Sunday as well, but I'll take whatever I can get.

[DEMO MAN]

I was thinking about signing up for both days just in case there's rain one of them. Plus I may want to do some tuning between the 2 days. Sounds like we are going to have a good size crowd of Vipers there.

Rain in January in central Florida?

Id be glad to run your car for you anytime you need a break :)

[kch_86]

Signed up for Sunday.

[nx91notch]

Just signed up for Sunday as well.

[99RT10]

Edit: Got it figured.

[nx91notch]

There is something screwy on the website. I signed up for Sat, Transaction went thru. Never got any confirmation. Now Sat is sold out

Transaction went through as in they charged the credit card?

[99RT10]

Got it straight

[ViperPete]

Sighned up for Sunday.

:)

[nx91notch]

Now time to decide if I want to install some headers and throw my warranty out the window with a tune or show up 100% stock :confused:

[DEMO MAN]

Signed up for Sat and Sun, and now I have a reason to spend even more cash on go fast stuff.

[ViperPete]

Now time to decide if I want to install some headers and throw my warranty out the window with a tune or show up 100% stock :confused:

Just do it bro. You only live once.

I raced the car last year and ran 152.33 stock. I am shooting for 160 this year.

Remember..... your car has to break first before they can say shit about your warranty.

[98intrigue]

I'm in for Sunday as well! Going to be a bunch of slow Vipers out there.

What mods do you have on the car right now?

[98intrigue]

What mods do you have on the car right now?

Underdrive pulley, Belanger headers and high-flow cat exhaust, Arrow PCM. I made 570whp in July when IATs were well over 100 degrees. The car went 11.1 @ 129 last month at FL2K.

wow nice mods. I bet you were dying to get into the 10's.

[Viper Granny]

Nice driving Ryan, what tires and 60' was that on?

[Viper Granny]

Yep, I'll probably drive up Saturday and stay over for Sunday. Great chance to mingle with like-minded car people.

[98intrigue]

Haha, I still am. Just can't fight with high IATs considering they were in the 100s at FL2K as well. I WILL get into the 10s whenthe wewrher cools down.

Nice driving Ryan, what tires and 60' was that on?
Thanks, Troy. 345/30/19 NT05R. This car is a lot different than launching the gen 3, so I'm still getting the launch down. On the 11.1 run, my 60' was 1.77... not the greatest.

[ViperRT98]

I will be there Saturday to watch the 1/2 mile.... I plan one bring my drone as well to get some nice video.....

Call me! I got a Sponsorship from a local speed shop and don't need my spot anymore for the event!

UGH....Sunday isn't looking good guys.

Last checked they show 80% rain on Sunday.

[nx91notch]

Now as of 4 pm on Wednesday it says 100% rain :(

[ViperPete]

Yeah i dont know either. Florida is funny though. Rain in ocala is typically in the south of town. It doesnt rain much in the north of town where i live and where Jumbolair is.

Normally I would agree with you about that on FL weather and if this were your typical summer afternoon thunderstorms. But I am afraid this is a cold front coming through so everything is going to be moving from north to south.

Great video! Thanks for posting. I have to collect all the Viper videos from the weekend and make a vid.

Cars sounded great!

[racegate]

I was there on Saturday but bailed on Sunday because I thought it was going to rain. It was a little last minute for me, but next time we should try to plan ahead for a dinner or something with all the Viper folks at these WGF events. It's tough to talk to people during the event since everyone is busy running their cars, etc.

About 26 of us got together for dinner Saturday night. It was great. Also, on Sunday it was basically round robin. No wait time at all.

I only did 2 runs because i was wiped out from saturday.

Damn, sorry I missed out on dinner then. A group us went out on Sat night for dinner but not many Viper owners.

How did you end up running?

[DEMO MAN]

Great runs racegate, my best in my 2010 NA Viper was 158.479, I was hoping for a 160 but I needed a little more HP for that. I struggled with the launch both days, I just couldn't get a good balance between gas, clutch and tires.

[nx91notch]

They posted the run sheets if anyone is interested in looking at them.

Thanks for sharing that link NX. Definitely helps to compare how I did to other types of cars.

[ViperPete]

I had an absolute blast.
