Calling on the Viper Family ... Send Big Brake Dave a get well soon card !

[02 Graphite GTS]

Sadly, a fellow Viper owner, VCA member, site sponsor and truly one of the best friends I have made through the Club, Big Brake Dave has sadly been diagnosed with cancer. Details are not completely clear at this point, but a positive plan of action is in place and will hopefully get him back behind the wheel of his Race Yellow Viper very soon.

I'm hoping the ENTIRE Viper Family will join me and help keep his spirits high as he begins his solitary battle with this insidious disease.

Rather than flooding his email or cell phone with messages that he quite honestly has not been spending a lot of time with, I thought this would be a better idea.
Let's all send him a playing card with whatever Get Well Wishes or sentiment you may want to include, along with your name or screen name on it. If EVERYONE sends him at least one playing card, he will have a substantially stacked deck of cards in his favor as he begins his battle.

Please mail them to:
Big Brake Dave
17574 Bocage Pt.
San Diego CA 92128



He has made it very clear, at this point in time, that he will NOT be taking Visitors.
Rest assured that he is in very good care. We all want to know "How he is doing", but to force him to continually answer that question via email or phone will take away from his much needed focus to deal with what he must go through.
Please respect his request and allow him to get as much rest as he can.
I will post updates on his progress as they become available.

His parts and accessories business www.davesbigbrakes.com is still up and running thanks to his wife and family. So do not worry about any pending orders.

We are all part of a very close Viper Family and your support will mean the world to him.

Thanks,
Lance

Sucks.

And makes sense why all of the yet to be built Viper goodies we would chat about on the phone are still dreams.

From Dave, to Dave...

Get well soon man!

You are one of the few straight shooters I know.

Spent the weekend with Richard and Paul at a party in RB and first heard the news. Was floored.

If you haven't met Dave and talked to him about his enthusiasm for Vipers, here's a picture from when we had a spirited discussion about brakes at Tator's. He's the handsome guy in yellow.

Yes it can be beat!!! Fight hard and fearless! Keep peace in your heart, a positive attitude and 4 wheel drive over the humps. Prayers are sent your way for a healthy recovery!

I guess that answers the question why he was in the emergency room when I called him last week. He answered the phone at the hospital and we talked. At the time I don't think he knew what was wrong. What a trooper... The guy answers his phone while he was in an emergency from a number I am sure he did not recognize. God Bless you Dave. May you recover quickly. Prayers will go out for you!!!
