TheRaceSite.com discusses Mike Hartley\'s WCGT Viper program

For those who don't already know, Viper Days and SCCA ITE driver Mike Hartley is taking his skills and his '96 GTS to the next level - the SPEED World Challenge GT series. See the article at http://www.theracesite.com/index.cfm?pagetype=2&form_article=4649

There have been no Vipers in WCGT for two years as the series switched to Toyo street tires with a maximum 295 width. ViperSpeed Racing's Bobby Archer won the '99 WCGT Championship on 315 G-Force tires. This year, the switch to 335 (rear) Toyo's RA1's should help the Viper be competitive with the Audi S4's, the Porsche GT3 Cup cars, and the new M3's being fielded by PTG.

Good luck to Mike and his team!

Thanks Rich......We may have a few surprises for all the Corvettes, Porsches and Mustangs being added to the rookie list. It looks like 11 new rookies in WCGT.
A lot has gone into the Viper over the winter and the new tire widths should help to keep us competitive. Rookie of the year is what we are shooting for!! Now lets get Bobby back in WCGT and take home the Manufacturer's title....Hey Dodge ya listening???
