HOLIDAY GREETINGS FROM THE VIPER CLUB OF AMERICA!!


Our January schedule will start Saturday, January 17th, at “Daytona International Speedway.” This will be our first meeting of 2004. The event will start no later than 11:00AM at the base of the “NexTel Tower”- formerly know as the “Winston Tower.” We have made arrangements for this track experience to start at 11:15AM with lapping of the Daytona International Speedway road course and oval for the Viper Club. We need everyone at the NexTel Tower no later than 11:00AM, to be lead into the in-field to stage our laps on the track. After we have lapped, we will all go into the “France Suite” for our lunch and meeting. I have invited a special guest, John Fernandez of Dodge Motor Sports and Mopar Performance Parts to talk with us.

Please call Barb at the Orlando VCA office, (407) 366-0366 and RSVP immediately so that we can get a head count for catering purposes.
