    The Last Hurah KING OF THE RING

    Our beloved Viper has set 13 track records in the US. Let’s go back to the Ring and re-take the ultimate international crown as we sail into the sunset.

    In September, 2011, the Viper ACR became the "Ring King" when Dominik Farnbacher set the production car lap record at 7:12:13. Years later, the Porsche 918 took the title (with battery power assistance). Let's make our final statement and take Back The Ring.

    You can help!

    ViperExchange will supply (free) two Viper ACR Extremes plus two internationally-known Viper drivers who consider The Ring their home track. It will cost between $150,000 and $200,000 to send the cars, pay for the track, the supplies, and operating expenses. This is strictly a volunteer operation and your contribution will fund only the expenses. Whether you can contribute $10,000 or $100, every little bit helps.

    All contributors over $250 will have their names listed on a commemorative poster. Anyone who contributes $10,000 or more is invited to join us in Germany to witness the attempt(s). We'd like to do this in April, 2017. If we are unable to raise the required funds, your money will be refunded (minus the small Go Fund Me fees). We all love the Viper. Let's go out on top.

    www.gofundme.com/take-back-the-ring-record

    Additional details will be released as we move forward but this is OUR opportunity to control Vipers destiny, and OUR opportunity to see it go out on top like it came into the world back in 1992.

    Andy

    Damn that is fucking bad ass!!!!

    Would be pretty funny if just 1 rich person donated $300k and requested his/her name be anonymous.
    The extra $100k would be for parts and luxuries for the drivers/crews.

    Appreciate that but for the record I had nothing to do with setting this up, just doing my best to get the word out. Bernie and another long time great Viper Club member got the ball rolling along with Ben Keating.

    Fuck no, I mean it would give them incentive to want to help out. I'm sure these guys (drivers and crew) are stand up gents that would do it just because they are bonifide car guys and track sluts! lol

    It's awesome that this kind of thing has a chance to happen because the club has a voice. Thank you to all involved. I'll be stopping by the donation page tomorrow morning.

    Does it not have to be set by the manufacturer directly under certain rules? Would it be an officially recognised time how you're doing it? Great idea - love it!

    It does not, the 2010 record was lead by VE. 2 cars straight from the showroom floor funded entirely by Ben Keating.

    You should take one stock ACR-E and one with heads and cam and see what that does too! I'm sure it would be about 5/10 seconds faster!
