Please fellow member, we need to stop bashing Detroit. I have been to that area many times in the last 6 years and have not had one bad experience. I have been to Conner Ave a number of time, with the Viper, been to numerous events with and without the Viper, went to the Grand Prix last year and that was a blast, without any incidents. I live in Traverse City, 250 miles away and come from an area where there is very little crime and most of us don't even lock our doors (protected by Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casul). I was apprehensive at first about going to the Detroit area myself but when I was with all our Viper friends I knew I was safe. The VOI organization will have our safety in mind when coordinating this event. With a low preregistration so far, (I will let the people in the know comment about this) we better start promoting this event or there may not be one!
The Belle Isle Grand Prix was probably the Best event I have ever went to. To have it with the VOI is going to make it a double treat and WELL worth the money. Please show your support and reregister early so they know that the event is even wanted by the membership. I know times are tough but if the numbers aren't there, anything can happen. I know I will go the Grand Prix one way or another.
Just my 2 cent. Hope to see you at VOI10.
