Lone Star LeMans Race at CoTA in September

[Herrsss]

We're working on a dynamite event to go see our very own Ben Keating race in the TUDOR Lone Star LeMans race at CoTA the weekend of September 19-21.

Ben said he is available most of the day on Friday to hang out with us and possibly for dinner so we are planning a dinner that evening.

SRT is working on a VIP package for SRT owners as follows:

• Single- and multi-day options
o For this race they’ll likely offer both 1-day (Saturday) and 2-day (Friday & Saturday) packages
• General admission ticket
• SRT owner corral parking
• VIP hospitality
o View of the race track
o Air-conditioned lounge
o Catered meals
o Snacks
o Beverages
• Meet-and-greet and Q&A with SRT Motorsports drivers (subject to availability)
• Exclusive SRT Motorsports gift

To make this happen we need to give them an idea of how many from Houston will be attending so check your calendars and let us know if you can participate. Please send an email to info@houstonviperclub.com and we'll add you to the list.

How cool is this???

Your humble Houston Viper CLub Officers,

Richard Sewell, President
Anthony Leidelmeyer, Vice President
Andrew Wheeler, Treasurer
Beth Perry Sewell, Secretary

Sounds like a great time. WE had a blast at the rendezvous last year.

[Shooter]

Sounds fun. How much are the tickets ?

Not sure yet. I'm looking at lodging right now and it's rather pricey I guess because it's a race weekend.

[FLATOUT]

I'm in

[RPM9000]

I'm in if I can get a place to stay. I went last year and it was great. The hotel that I stayed at last year for a reasonable price is already sold out.

[FLATOUT]

I'm going to try and crash at a coworkers place.

...a "fake" Le Mans race. Great.

J/K.

Le Mans is Le Mans.

And, the real "Le Mans" is not located in Texas.

[FLATOUT]

Thanks for clearing that up.

We're working with SRT to try and get a block of rooms so cross your fingers!

[MtnBiker]

I booked a room at the Hyatt Lost Pines as soon as the 2014 Tudor schedule was posted. Locked in the rate.

[Herrsss]

We've been working with SRT to get a block of rooms for ya'll and we've been able to secure 15 rooms at $199/night so we can watch Ben race and hang out with the SRT folks. There will be more info to come regarding the SRT car corral but we wanted to get the link out to ya'll to make your reservations.

John, we're staying there too. Looking forward to meeting you.

[Goatman]

I might be able to swing this, Sounds like a great time.

[RPM9000]

I've got my reservations at the Marriott.

[MtnBiker]

John, we're staying there too. Looking forward to meeting you.

Cool Slithr, likewise. It will be hard to miss our cars. Last year there was a stable of Ferraris parked there.

[Goatman]

Looks like I have to back out. I have other things in the works that would cause me to have to drive a focus to the race. That is not going to happen

[TexasTonka]

Not sure yet. I'm looking at lodging right now and it's rather pricey I guess because it's a race weekend.

We can get great rates at several hotels in our region. I'll send you an email. Not sure if this is Houston only or not, first I have seen it. Always willing to help no matter what!

Kirt,
Far as we're concerned this is a Viper Owners' event so the more the merrier!

[Herrsss]

Ok folks, the SRT package information has been released just now!

SRT® vehicle owner,
It’s often said that, “Everything is bigger in Texas.” That sentiment will certainly ring true when SRT Motorsports heads to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, for the Lone Star Le Mans, September 19–20. Along with the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, the world-class venue will also play host to the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Enjoy a VIP weekend of catered meals, climate-controlled from a trackside viewing location, unforgettable sights and sounds and, of course, wheel-to-wheel race action as the Viper GTS-Rs hit the track.

Beth, do you happen to know if there is a package that doesn't include race tickets? We have already bought turn #15 tickets, last year watching just the back straight got a little boring after a day and a half.

[cubican]

last year they had the srt hospitality only for 50.00 not sure about this year. is going to be great, get to see the race one weekend and on the next weekend get to drive my Viper on the track.

[TexasTonka]

Anyone else having an issue purchasing tickets? When I click the link it keeps looping me to the same webpage

[Dusty1]

Seems to be working now, got tickets for Sat/Sun via SRT, now we need to work on the Friday stuff. Shaping up to be a memorable weekend!
