**ViperTony** · 08-07-2016

Great day yesterday. Well done everyone, thanks for making this happen and thank you to JonB @ Partsrack for the crystal. You support is always welcome and puts smiles on our members faces!

**JackKeane** · 08-07-2016

Thanks to everybody for putting this on! And to Jon B for the prizes. Certainly the most fun I've ever had in a car.

Best day ever!

Great video! I totally blew it with mine! Had my GoPro and left it in my bag all day, FAIL!!!! Was a really fun day. Thanks for everyone who put this event together! I will be there next year FOR SURE!!!

**ACR Steve** · 08-08-2016

What a great time.

The weather held out ,the track was very fast and there was some great driving by all.

What's really cool is that everyone helps each other at this event. While we have some great instructors its a team approach. Everyone is there to lend advise and help out. What makes this so great is its a team approach by everyone at the event.

I think we now have around 5 Vipers in the top 20 times for this year. The top 20 times at the end October get invited back to a very cool all expense paid championship.

Great job to everyone

( I slept till 11 am on Sunday I was so wiped out

)

A big thanks to Ed, Courtney and Steve!!! Another amazing year! It's amazing to see so many enthusiastic drivers out there having a blast. It's was also great to watch first timers gradually get better and better with each run. You can really learn a lot above handling your snake. Hopefully everyone is a bit more confident now and is relishing on the opportunity to do it again.

I'm sorry I missed the late afternoon. I had to go after a small equipment malfunction. But no worries, our gracious sponsor, JonB at Partsrack, already has a fresh set of R888's en route to me :-) Cant beat that speedy service! Thanks JonB!

Steve, great to see you annihilate the track with the new ACR. We'll be rooting you on in the final shootout.

Should have some videos up this week.

...can we do it again next weekend?!

**MalingatorGTS** · 08-08-2016

Matt is being crazy humble BTW! Not only super helpful but your time was crazy! First two laps were almost identical! The finish well, go big or go home! Think you will be really psyched about the time! Glad JonB got you what you needed ASAP!

ACR Steve, can't thank you enough! I've done lots of driving classes and plenty of crazy things in a car but you sir were such a great resource and help! This was my first time taking the car on this style of track! A totally new experience and ADDICTIVE!

Ed, Courtney, the Wizard, Ryan, everyone who helped run the day was amazing!

My only regrets, again, not using my GoPro and getting to go for a ride in Steve's ACR!

Matt, you rocked it. If you want to go again during an upcoming open Autocross day let me know, I'm thinking about going in September. Can't get enough of that autocross.

**thetalonguy** · 08-08-2016

Thanks Josh and Tony!!! I'm definitely looking into doing an open track day in September. I know there are others that want to go as well. Our full NY/CT VOA track day, however, can't even compare to the open day. Our event rocks in every comparison!! I'll take a look at the open schedule and let everyone know.

My interior is still covered with dust from that off track excursion. :-P

**ACR Steve** · 08-09-2016

Great videos you had the line nailed great job

**ek1** · 08-09-2016

I also wanted to thank everyone who contributed to putting this even together. I had an absolute blast! The event was well organized and everyone was enjoying it. The skid pad was a riot!

Looking forward to the next one!

**Pist0n** · 08-09-2016

The event was a huge success! I am very impressed with the leadership of this club. Thank you NY/CT VOA for organizing such a flawless day.

**JonB ~ PartsRack** · 08-09-2016

Wish I could have been there, but hope the class-winners enjoy the crystal Viper 'trophies'

And THANK for your business, as always.

**JackKeane** · 08-09-2016

They said they would try to get it updated by today but the office is really busy with planning the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend events.

getting ahead for May are they? :-)
I'll check in with the office at LRP tomorrow.
I'm sure we're going to have a few in the top 20, and probably more than last year even... pretty awesome to see our 'small' club account for 25% of their finals list last year.

**Red venom** · 08-11-2016

ACR Steve made the axis time challenge his b***h

**MalingatorGTS** · 08-11-2016

I just checked Lime Rock site, nothing new posted as of yet. I'm sure there are a few who made it. Steve, well he BROKE the list...I would say Matt, especially with his show off finish! The other Gen5 ACR and the Gen3 ACR I'm pretty sure did as well. (sorry guys, I'm terrible with names) I didn't get to see Tony in his Gen5 ACR but it wouldn't shock me if he made it as well. That's based on the times I can remember vs. what's posted on the list as of now. Oh yea, and the black I think Gen3 vert...was a good time as well..

**ACR Steve** · 08-11-2016

Thanks guys

Red Venom - LOL you had me laughing at my desk

Tony is absolutely in top 20

It will be really cool to have a bunch of Vipers in the shoot out. We can all help each other out at the event.

**thetalonguy** · 08-11-2016

Times are up!!!

Holy crap....you guys are fast! 8 Vipers in top 20!!!!

Steve, 17.9...WOW! Insane!!

**MalingatorGTS** · 08-11-2016

The times are CRAZY close! From 5th on is SO tight is crazy! If I can get free, I'm going just to watch and support. Congrats all!

I couldn't help myself on this one...

**ViperTony** · 08-11-2016

That list will change considerably by 10/29. I suspect that this year its going to take at least a 19.0x or lower to make it in the top 20. Steve's time is even more impressive seeing written down on top of the list. Crazy!
