We headed back out to palm Springs for the Viper vs Vette Charity Auto-x Challenge.

The Viper won the last two years and we knew the Vettes would be stepping up their game

this year.   We had a great showing of Vipers and were ready to go head to head with them.

We had clear blue skies and very warm weather, but everyone was very excited to go out

and drive.

 

David, Eric, Mike Jr. and Mike came out from the I.E. to help us lay down some fast times.

The Charity Auto-x donates the proceeds from the event to the Boys and Girls Club and the ALS Foundation.

This is a great event for us to be a part of.

Always fun watching Bobby tearing up the track

Good run Bobby

It was really cool seeing Tom's kids out there running cars in his honor.

Richard ran some very good times too.

A HUGE Thank You to all the PSCC Ladies that work so hard up at the registration table every year.

Congratulations to Derek with the 2nd fastest Viper time of 44.079

Ben defended his title and had the fastest Viper time with a 42.963

And the results from the Viper vs Vette Auto-x Challenge..........

The Corvettes beat the Vipers this year.   Congratulations to their team.  They laid down some

very fast times this year and deserved the win.

Today was Shawn's birthday, so a very special Happy Birthday wish goes out to him.

Every year he and Weez put in countless hours of work along with the other members to

provide much needed money for the charities.

It was really cool seeing all the kids come out and show their appreciation for all his efforts.

This is one first rate guy!

Jack on the other hand.....well, he is also one heck of a guy and a great friend/competitor.

You won this year, but we will be back next year ready to battle again !

Thank you Shawn and Weez !!!   You guys are the BEST 1

 

After the Auto-x, we headed over to Anthony's house for tacos
