2015 Carolinas VOA Tentative Event Schedule
February 21st – Carolinas VOA Dyno Day in Raleigh, NC AND Zone Luncheons
Blow the dust off your Vipers folks! To start the new year, we are kicking off THREE events throughout our region! A FREE Dyno Day being held at Mayhem Motorsports in Raleigh, NC on Saturday, February 21, 2015 from 10:00am - 4:00pm. We will have exclusive access to their Dyno for 6 full hours of unlimited runs and FREE lunch! Patrick, our Western Zone Director will be hosting a FREE luncheon in the Charlotte area for members. Kristian from our South Carolina region will be hosting a FREE luncheon in the Charleston area. Yes, everything is FREE to Carolina VOA Members!!! (CANCELLED DUE TO ICE AND POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS)
March 21st – “Get Your Motor Running V 2.0, Detail Clinic, and Dinner!”, Raleigh, NC
Thank you to all that participated in the voting for this event. The results were split for a maintenance day / detail clinic so we’ve found a way to host BOTH!!! Once again, I’ll be hosting a maintenance day at my home for fluid changes on your Viper, or just come over and hang out! We will have access to two lifts and the necessary equipment to change out your oil, diff, tranny, and clutch fluid! Afterward, we’ll head over to a member Hap Merritt’s detail shop for some instruction on proper washing, polishing, waxing, scratch and swirl removing, etc. Lastly, we’ll gather for dinner at a nearby restaurant. For those coming from afar, several members have guest rooms if anyone wishes to spend the night and drive home Sunday. UPDATE: What a great time!

May 2nd - 3rd – Vipers Invade Wilmington, NC

Our region is co-hosting the Tail of the Dragon event this year along with our friends from Alabama / Tennessee. We had over 75 Vipers in attendance last year!!! The Tail of the Dragon is considered by many as one of the world's foremost motorcycling and sports car roads. Anyone looking for an exciting drive will enjoy this stretch of US129 with 318 curves in 11 miles! Driving isn’t the only event on the venue. We’ll also enjoy the attractions of Gatlinburg, lunches, dinners, nightlife, and endless FUN! This will be a LONG weekend event so please mark your calendars and arrange time off if you plan to be present for the entire event! This is also a National VOA “Bucket List” event this year so we are expecting at least 100 Vipers!!! This will be an event you will NEVER forget.
