Thanks for the info. I'll pass that along to anyone I know who needs it in that area. I've met Tom on numerous occasions. He came down to Miami to do some recall work for the Vipers back 3-4 years ago. Great guy and very knowledgeable.

Ray, Can you post some of your Matte Black GT pics? I'd love to see it.

Can you share your Viper Tech's name and what dealer he works at? Local VCA members are always asking me to recommend a Tech to them, but there aren't many I know that I can pass along that info to.

Moments that are unexpected such as yours, are filled with so much more that if we ever expected it. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely guys. Glad you enjoyed it!

Another cool video that was forwarded to me that was done with some great interviews and footage. Enjoy! http://www.vimeo.com/11321632

Hey Chip, ECTA is really about the true sport of Land Speed Racing, where they have many different classes and you race against other people in your class to earn points. When I was there last year, the participants' cars were nothing like the ones we're used to seeing here in Miami or even...

Chip, I disagree with your statement here. Before the Texas Mile ever existed, there was and still is the ECTA. They've been around for over 15 years, and follow stringent rules for Land Speed Racing, just like those of Bonneville and are regarded as the ones to model after. When TOP GUN RUN...

Yes and No. Sometimes you don't get a good launch so your ET is higher than desired, but your MPH is a good indication of where you want to be. It's all about launch. There is no ET for the Mile because the way the timing is done, doesn't allow for it, but I'm certain if it were possible, we're...

Well spoken Chip. Wish I had written that.

Nobody should use Cruise Control in a car to calibrate timing equipment to potentially set a World Record. That's ludicrous. On second thought, I take that back. It was what it was.

The importance of the "timing equipment" needs no explanation. I second the idea of forming a timing sanction to make all events official without question. Just because Texas has been doing it since 2003 doesn't make them accurate as well. It depends on who sets up the equipment. Forget about...

Ray's Jet didn't even make it to the half mile mark when it came up off the ground hoovering at about 30 feet. Once he came towards the end of the runway, it shot up like a Fighter Jet. Not sure if Ray was piloting it, but I'm sure he was used to the g's. It was an incredible sight.

It was a pleasure seeing many of you, and meeting many of you for the 1st time. The pleasure was all mine, believe me. With all due respect to everyone who attended, especially for those who traveled from out of state, hats off to all your incredible efforts. Now for the bad news..... The...

HeyTerry, Yea, I saw that Vin 00002. That had to have been Lee Iacocca's car. Congrats. The FE cars will be really nice. Woodhouse is doing a very special Viper as well. EM me if you're interested in it. I know Bill Pemberton quite well. ivanrho@aol.com

LOL Brian, you're just jealous that you're not ONE!! I'll use that name to my advantage, if there is one. :bow

Am I really an Icon??!! I'll take my 2 seconds of fame...YES!:banana Who is this? I see you have a Final Edition Viper on order. I've got one too. Which model did you get? Tried really hard to get an ACR, but to no avail. When you ask Ralph Gilles and he says no, it's really NO! We were lucky...

I'll find out tomorrow and send it to you. Sorry about the delay. Butt prints? Ummm, yea there were many of those. Wait till you see those pics....

Perfect! Looking forward to seeing you then. Ivan

Thank you. We're working on that; the next event in the late fall will be on a larger scale. We had a total of 85 cars in all, and only ran for 1 day. We're looking at a 2 day venue so many of you who come down for the event will have an extra day to run.
