Saturday March 21st! The real Fun Day :D

We have secured a private Vipers only higher speed Autocross, for 15$ a car, put on and run by the Texas A&M Sports Car Club. I have been to many events put on by this group and they are fantastic. I will design the course with them based on the setups we have run there in the past that are fun for Vipers. Tons of parking, and located on a shuttered air base so nothing to damage your car should you spin. Haven't decided yet if this is going to be a fun run type of event or if we will have classes so people can compete for bragging rights, will probably end up being a little of both. We will have timing equipment and loaner helmets.

For lunch we will most likely have a food truck come out track side. This will be the main event of the day and will take up most of our time.

Dinner: Southern Empress Dinner Cruise on lake Conroe

We are working out the details now but we are going to do a private 3 hour dinner cruise on Lake Conroe aboard the Southern Empress

Sunday March 22nd:

This is typically a half day of events for the roundup so that people can get back home. We are still trying to decide exactly what we want to fill that with, most likely a Dyno day, Another back roads cruise, or a Tech Day out at Tomball Dodge.
