Very safe track and one of the most fun in the country to participate at. You can see the whole track, so great to view your friends running. There is tons of run off and this is one of the best places to go for Instruction. If you can get to the Ft. Worth area, this should be on your must go list!!
PS-The catered food has always been awesome here!!! |

Except that there is no catering this year - the food package is not included with the Viper Days fee - thus the extremely LOW price to participate.

Nexus, The Dallas Club was out at the Ranch this past weekend. Bobby brought
out his Comp Coupe and taught us all a lesson or two. The Comp Coupe car made the rest of the Vipers look like they were standing still. That car is incredable how fast it runs around the track. A few of the clubs cars run straight pipes and I thought they were loud. The Coupe was drownding out those Vipers it was so loud and fire spitt'n out of the sides. We had a blast going to the track from Dallas and at the track all day and even some more fun going back to Dallas after the event. One of my favorite things to do is run with about 20 Vipers down the freeway and watch the other cars freak. Can't wait to see the other Comp Coupes next weekend. I'll get plenty of pics and video. |

I had to miss that too...my business has been sucking the life outta me this year...again. I shouldn't be complain, but I still do I 'spose.I had to keep myself from thinking about MSR Saturday afternoon. I'm a member there and I can head out whenever I want so I try taking solace in that, but missing a Viper event out there was a bummer. Quote:

I'm hoping next year will settle down enough for me to get out there more and get out with you guys on the weekends now and then. |

Viper Days will have copies of the directions to the Sat pm BBQ at the track.
At this point I only have 7 TX Viper Drivers signed up at this point!! We come to your area so you can participate and we only get 7 sign ups!!! What is the deal??? I just checked the weather and it looks perfect!! (I have had a few SRT-10 drivers call..sorry, no driving school without a roll bar!)We are even offering $100 off for new Viper Days drivers which brings the cost of the event to $390 for the weekend!! This is a great deal. If you are not interested in puttting your car on the track please come out and spectate and talk to the vendors and go to the classroom sessions!! I promise you will love it!!

Hey Guys,
I think I can get off to come on Saturday and Sunday. I have no track experience and my GTS is pretty much stock. Would this be a good track to start on or will I be out of my league? I've been dying to get out and see what the snake would do on a track. LMK Doc |

Doc,
Bring your ride and enjoy the weekend. This is a safe track and you'll be running with people of the same experience level as you. Don't worry, they won't just put you out on the track. You'll get lessons, both on and off track before you go for it. It's the most fun you can have (legally). |
