Viper update.
« on: February 05, 2013, 11:29:25 pm »


Hi to all past and present members,
                                                          just a short update on what Viper has planned for the 2013 season.

Shortly an all new website will be up and running with a dedicated Viper email address that i will access daily, a monthly newsletter with a variety of info for all to read, the race calendar is close to being finalised and will be sent out as soon as the last few races are confirmed. The committee of 2012 did a fantastic job of setting Viper up as its own club and identity which has made sure the club has a long and successful future in the sport. A few new classes were added and were well received, this years committee will concentrate on building the club up further from last year and our main aim is to bring back the enjoyment factor at our race meetings and our ride days that are planned.

The plan for this year is again a ride / registration day to start the year off, our race calendar will consist of 6 rounds at traditional Viper tracks with possibly one new venue, the year will then be finished off at the annual presentation day in November. Time to get those bikes out of the shed and prepare them for what is shaping up to be a fantastic 2013 Viper series.

Please feel free to use this email address   [email protected]   until the Viper one is up and running. Any questions regarding membership etc. please contact me and i will email the info to you. 

Regards Peter Gruber 
2013 Viper President.

Well done guys that banner looks grouse.  Great to see you are getting out there

And as for Schworda's 400, I think I've got the fastest and best handling 400 going.  And the story will be told at Viper round 1, and all arguments settled on who has the fastest 400: me, schworda or brockley

And by the way, I'm open for sledging - let the sledging begin!

Bloody HUGE!  I've never seen a swap-meet as big as that, never seen so much bike stuff for sale in one place before, and I only managed to do half of the place, next year I'll organize a mobility-scooter with a trailer  ;-)

This is gunna be good ;)..  Schworda just slung me a sly $fiddy to put a 78 tooth rear sprocket on, get the jump,cross your line and hold you off. He wants this bad.. He hired the ex weapon from Essendon for his "vitamin" advice too. :-\
Maico's, the only way to go.
