Going to be the best early driving event the Capital Vipers have had since the founding of the region!

With 15 Vipers on tap and 25 people, tomorrow could be the largest CVOA event since its founding in May of 2018.


NON-MEMBERS and FORMER encouraged to join the fun. $10 person and individual pay for lunch.


Seeing a Viper is rare. Seeing 3 or more together turns heads. Seeing a dozen or more stops people in their tracks. Get ready for the phones out videoing the group, thumbs up, waves, and smiles as we travel to Ken's, following his hot rod. Vipers make people happy!!!

RSVP on Facebook or Direct Message me here.

The CVOA is alive and doing fantastically well with a new leadership team, excited membership, and 10 new members this year. The first event of the year was the CVOA's biggest event since its founding. This is just the start of what will be the CVOA's best year yet!

Ken & Trish Gross (IG chopper_ken) could not have been nicer!! The stories of seeing one of the first prototypes driven by Tom Gale to sitting in a engineering development meetings to the 1996 GTS european press tour at Spa, Nurburgring (drove with Phil Hill), and in Paris were all great to hear. Ken is a true automotive journalism treasure.
