Hello Viper Drivers:

It is that time of year again when Viper Days starts the 2006 season with a BANG!! Viper Days Driving School will be at Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas Jan 20-22, 2006. It is very close to Dallas, Houston and Austin so I hope to see all you TX VCA members out at the track driving or spectating.

We still have openings for rookie/first time drivers at Texas World. You will be assigned an instructor who will sit in the passenger side with an in car communicator helping you around the track. Remember, this is not racing, this is learning how to drive your Viper safe and effectively. How many times have you given your car a bit to much gas and the back end comes out on you??? It has happened to many of us and we will show you how to control and avoid accidents like that. There is also extensive classroom which is Viper specific not to mention the fun social aspect of event. Reception parties, goodie bags, polo shirts, sit down dinners, give aways, auction, trophies.... All of this in 1 weekend.

Don't forget... If you are a VCA member you will receive $50 off your entry plus if this is your first event we will take another $100 off!!

If you are interested, but have a few more questions please feel free to call 847-594-8477 and ask for Courtney.

I will paste the details below for this event for people that are planning on coming but have forgotten to let me know...

Hope to see you all at the track!!

Courtney Thomas
