Our next event is just around the corner! Vipers Invade Wilmington is only 1 week away....taking place on Saturday, May 2rd, 2015!

We'll start the day by cruising into Wilmington's Cars & Coffee at 9:00am to hang out and check out all of the rides. Afterward we'll head over to Wrightsville Beach and have a private lunch at Bluewater (http://www.bluewaterdining.com), which is a waterfront restaurant. The food is excellent and parking is plentiful. After lunch, we'll take a scenic drive to Ft. Fisher along the Cape Fear River, and to Carolina Beach where we can have some photograph opportunities. We may also stop to visit the the NC Aquarium before heading to dinner (location TBD).

Most importantly, if you plan to attend, please post here so we know how many to expect for lunch and/or dinner. :)

We will also be arranging caravans for this event once we know who's all attending. Looking forward to another great Wilmington event! A BIG GIANT "THANK YOU" to Lance who was instrumental in helping us plan this event.

We've only got 4 so far folks! This event was a big hit last year which is why we added hotel options....but even if you can make it a day trip, that's fine too! Anyone else?

Hey, Brian. I'm waiting to hear back from my son, Jason, to see if he wants to come down from DC and meet me in Wilmington and stay the weekend. I'll let you know in a day or two. I'm gonna need someone to drive the Viper on Saturday after having to drive back and forth from Winston. :o

Sheena and I will be going. We may stay somewhere else though but Idk yet. $239-$269 seems a bit expensive.

Thanks Hap and Dave! You both were missed. We're glad we attended, always a fun time hanging with Viper friends.

Thank you Brian and Mike for the mini caravan ride back home. You both helped make that long drive home go by much quicker!

PS: Thanks Brian for holding those awesome wheels for me ��
