We still need a few Vipers for Friday, Saturday and Sunday to complete our exhibit. If you can help by exhibiting your Viper, it would be greatly appreciated. Admission for two will be free, plus you'll have a chance to win a case of Mobil 1 for your next oil change! Please contact Bruce at vcotracks@gmail.com to exhibit and for participant's details.

Fall & Winter Club Events
We're ready to plan "End of Season" events but we'd like your suggestions! It could be a lunch or dinner, a cruise along some local scenic roads near you, or visiting an interesting local attraction that you've discovered. It could be before or after putting the Vipers away, and have broad or just local appeal. Maybe a local Christmas lighting tour. Or maybe you'd like to host a morning Cars & Coffee or Christmas get-together for local members. Please contact Bruce at vcotracks@gmail.com or your local area director!
