EVENT DETAILS:
• Thursday afternoon, October 19, 2017
o Meet and greet while the rollers turn (location tbd)
o Check into the hotel

• Friday, October 20, 2017
o Texas World Speedway, outside of College Station. TWS is closing down forever at the end of 2017 to be turned into. . . gasp . . . a subdivision! Why is this important you? Because we’re renting it for the whole day with separate run groups and instructors for those who have never been on a track before. It will be managed by the World Racing League (WRL) and run exactly like a performance driving event. Beginners will have full time instructors to teach how to better control these monsters and advanced drivers will have point by per driver's meeting. Lunch is included - we have an award winning food truck coming out to the track for lunch – yum!
o But wait, there’s more! After the track goes cold we’ll have some old school arm drop drags for ya’ll to see who’s the fastest!!!
o After we're done we'll stop by a restaurant near the hotel for dinner (included).
o Of course no Texas region event would be complete without our evening "business meetings"!

• Saturday, October 21, 2017
o Sam Houston National Forest cruise
o How about a 4 hour MEGA-CRUISE-ORAMA?? Andy Wheeler and Jerry Robinson are planning an amazing route for our “spirited cruise”! We’ll end at Pappas on the Lake for a casual lunch which is now included!
o FCA & Viper Team panel discussion. We have special guests flying down from FCA and Prefix in Detroit to join us for a panel discussion about motors, maintenance issues and stories about the Viper from the beginning! Be ready to ask all your detailed questions, these people will know the answers!
-->We’ll cap off the day with a banquet (included) Saturday evening with raffle prizes!

• Sunday, October 22, 2017
o Optional cruise after breakfast or perhaps you just want to hang out and relax before heading home.
The cost for all of this is $175 per person payable in advance via Houston VOA Paypal account. To avoid any fees, send money as family and friends to president@houstonviperclub.com. We will be sending out a registration form that we’ll need to help sort the run groups out.

It's with great sadness that we have to cancel the event because Texas World Speedway is now a storage lot for flooded cars. Guess our little day rental price of $9500 can't compare to $3mm over the next 6 months with an option to extend!
