What a weekend! We had so much fun getting to know everyone that attended through back woods drives, great lakeside restaurants and bars, hotel bars, Tomball Dodge tour and breakfast. Couldn&#8217;t have asked for more fun or better people. If you missed out, you really missed out. Even though the weather didn&#8217;t cooperate and we had to call off the Autocross due to us not driving watercraft, nobody seemed disappointing in our backup plan touring the Tomball Dodge Viper vault. What a collection of new Vipers in almost every Stryker color plus a couple of addition Prefix special colors on the Medusas that were there. Andy Wheeler out of the Houston club did an amazing job coordinating and thinking on his feet as we all know how quickly the weather can change around this great state of Texas. Thanks to everyone that came, it wouldn&#8217;t have been possible without your support. Already looking forward to next year!
