This will be a memorable week of fun with friends and adventures! Not to mention you get to meet up with folks from all over the country.

Can't wait to meet all of you ans see all of those Vipers!! What a drive....and that's just to get there!

Also, I'm not sure about the other Nebraska attendee's, but would you all mind if my wife and I tag along Sunday through RMNP? We would love to drive that route with everyone. Been through there so many times, just not in the Viper.

Absolutely! We always say the more the merrier!

Can't wait to see everyone in Steamboat next week! One last caution, Watch your speed coming down off Rabbit Ears Pass into town!! The police watch the road because it is steep and straight, so speeds build quick.

It was great to see everyone and we had a blast! No problems in Colorado or New Mexico but Richard and Andy both got pulled over in the Texas Panhandle just so the cops could look at their cars!! Funniest part was neither of them got a driving award (aka ticket)!!! Me . . . well, no cop was interested in a "quiet" white Medusa!!! The other 2 are pretty darn loud!
