Welcome Midwest region

[BlknBlu]

The Crossroads of America Viper Association wants to bid a warm welcome to everyone here on the VOA and especially the folks in the Midwest. A lot of work has been done by the National and NEW local Board to make this new chapter come into fruition. We have some much enthusiasm to get moving and be a part of a great organization. I would like the Give a big thanks to Cheryl, Bill and Judy for making this transition possible. We have a lot on our plate in the immediate future and are looking for the members to play a big part in our success.

I want to invite folks from the Midwest to be a part of our new association. Please reach out to us on this forum and we will work on incorporating the needs of our Midwest Viper owners.

Thanks to the VOA for the warm welcome and assisting in our transition.

Bruce Kenkel
President

[Husker]

Just to drop and note and say Hello...made it over to the new site.

Thanks to Bruce, Bill, Cheryl and Judith.

[Bill Pemberton]

Glad I was able to get you to wait, Larry, as your membership will now go directly to benefit a Club in your Area!!! COA and VOA - has a nice ring to it doesn't it?! ( Crossroads of America and Viper Owner's Association )

[Alley]

Awesome!!

[Alley]

I'm excited we finally have our own regional chapter!

[HPmopars]

We finally have a "real" home! :slap:

[v10CodeMonkey]

Awesome!!! Always felt alienated in the other club with very few events within driving distance.

[Bill Pemberton]

...........and membership funds will stay with us to enable us to do cruises, dinners, track time, charity events, etc. !!!

...........and membership funds will stay with us to enable us to do cruises, dinners, track time, charity events, etc. !!!

THAT is the BEST part of it all!

[Bill Pemberton]

Big Track event in Hastings , Nebraska in June ............................good reason for you to wander out West , Leslie. We should be close or over 40 Vipers this year and there is a Clubhouse right on site, so the bench racing is often as spirited ( pun intended ) as the time on track,ha!

[Scott Mannny]

Bill is right!! The Hastings event is one of the BEST in the country, plus Vipers only!!! June 13, 14 and 15.

This event a must for all Viper owners!!!

FYI,

Our paper work to the state has been submitted and do not anticipate any issues. Once we have a number from the state it will be submitted to the VOA and we will officlally be recognized by the VOA as a Region. I want to encourage everyone to join up during the initial membership drive to become a charter member. I will send more details on this very soon and we will publish the Web portal to sign up on the computer.

More to come

Welcome Kurt! Don't let that Copperhead become a mythical creature like that one in Bruce's avatar! I don't think they actually made a Viper like that, I think it's photoshopped! :witless:

Welcome Blake! Was great to meet you on Saturday. Was my first time seeing a VVO in person. GREAT CAR! Made it fun following you on the drive to Sailorville lake. I mean, I would have to follow since there is no way I could get in front of you!

[v10CodeMonkey]

Welcome Blake! Was great to meet you on Saturday. Was my first time seeing a VVO in person. GREAT CAR! Made it fun following you on the drive to Sailorville lake. I mean, I would have to follow since there is no way I could get in front of you!

I have to say, cruising with Gen II's is a lot better on my gas mileage, I rarely have to go over 3000 rpms (esp when I got stuck behind grandma Josh) :smileys-car-driving :D

I had a GREAT time with all you Omaha folks and you're the reason for my finally joining the crew. Well, and seeing all the pretty cars. Looking forward to future events!!

[BlknBlu]

That is Mrs Josh to most of us.

Bruce

Anyway, just wanted to thank your club for a great time in Iowa. It was a pleasure meeting all of you and hope to see a lot more of you in the future.
Tab

PS. Our Dodge dealership over here had a black 2014 that I heard left and went to the Omaha area. Did someone in your group buy it?

[BlknBlu]
