Viper Owner's Invitational - 11   Salt Lake City

VOI-11 was special in more ways than ever this year.  Amidst all the economic turmoil and restructuring of

the Dodge brand, as well as the changes in the Viper Club of America, many thought that we would never

again see a VOI.  When the VCA announced that VOI-11 was going to be held and that it was in Salt Lake City,

everyone was excited.  At every event, the talk of VOI-11 was discussed, plans were made and everyone

ANXIOUSLY awaited  caravan day.  We decide to make it a 2 day trip to SLC, so we met up in various areas and

headed to our main meet point in Ontario.   You could tell everyone was excited and pumped with energy, despite

the sleepless night before.

I met up with Eddie in the OC. 

Mike, Honeybear and Bruce came out to meet us and send us off on our journey to VOI-11

It was very unfortunate that Bruce was not able to make the trip with us. 

Bruce, you know our hearts and thoughts were with you and your family. 

At the meet point in Ontario, it was a great gathering of members.

The story goes like this:   Justin is taking an extra set of wheels to SLC.  We start teasing him

about his "Girlfriend" the tire all the way to Vegas.

Eddie and Art went and bought her some underwear to make her a little less revealing....

She fought with Eddie as she wasn't a fan of the Granny Panties.  I don't think they make G-strings that big though.

After getting her dressed, Eddie gave her a little kiss goodnight

Now she is a respectable girl !
