Talking Viper Round Up Info




Calling Fellow Viper Owners,

It’s that time of year…time for the Annual Texas Viper Round Up. This year we are extending the invite across the central south of the country!!! This is sure to be event NOT to be missed.

As enjoyed last year, we will have great folks, great roads, and great times. At the RoundUp, memories are made and the community is brought together from around the region. If you take a road trip this spring, then this should be it. So far, we have folks from all around Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico…so come on down!!!

This year the Round Up is April 11th, 12th, and 13th. The itinerary is below (some times are not provided as the times and activities flex with the group).

Spread the word and forward this out to all Viper owners. Please RSVP if you can so I can get a head count. Last year was a big success and we want to makes this year even better!

The hotel of choice for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night will be the Marriot Spring Hill Suites. They have secure parking (one way in and one way, and patrolled by Round Rock Police), easy access from I-35 and outside of Austin traffic.

Marriot Spring Hill Suites

If that is not your cup of tea, then you can sit back and watch…or partake in the interior and exterior care instruction that will be going on in one of the hangers. Want more? Our professional photographer will be on site to take photos of your car in this very picturesque environment...might want to get some of the brake dust off though) Lunch will be catered onsite…Texas Style. Everything is covered! Here is a preview.

Nope, it doesn't...but there are plenty in the area if you need to top off.

I drove Harris Hill Road for the first time last weekend. Very nice track. It is similar in character to MSR Cresson, but with a bit more elevation and off camber to deal with. The owners are a great bunch of guys, as well. It's going to be a blast on Sunday.

BTW, if anyone is interested in membership, I'm organizing a group buy with a couple of local driving groups. PM me if you're interested.

Had a great time, glad to meet several of you too. Can't wait to see pics! If anyone has any photos of my blue/white (white wheels) coupe on the road course, I'd love to have some copies.

Thanks,
