The three-day event offered the ever-expanding "Viper Nation" crowd the chance to gather and enjoy a long list of activities, driving events and entertainment. Hosted by the Viper Club of America (VCA), the bi-annual event attracted more than 800 participants from as far away as Japan, Switzerland and the United Kingdom and close to 350 Dodge Vipers. An extensive Viper memorabilia showcase, vendor displays offering clothes to collectibles to performance parts, along with roundtable discussions and informative tech talks with Street and Engineering Technology (SRT) engineers kept all attendees entertained throughout the weekend. VOI.11 also offered the chance for Viper owners to drive America's ultimate supercar during planned caravan drives on the many scenic roads between Salt Lake City and Park City to the northeast and in the wide array of performance driving and racing activities taking place at Miller Motorsports Park to the southwest.

  • Snake Bites Fall 2020
    PRESIDENT’S CORNER Please note: the club calendar as shown is only tentative at print time. In my first message to the club, let me thank you for voting for your Executive Board, myself as well as Vice- President Gary Rappaport, Treasurer Rick Reuter and Secretary Rose Klutz. I am extremely confident in our ability to work together. Many thanks go out to these officers and the board of directors that dedicate so much of their time to make this the best car club! My first act as the new President is to double the salaries of the officers and Board of Directors! Although this means nothing since we are not paid. The best way to pay them back is to thank each of them for their efforts. Please and Thank You go a long way, as many of us were taught in our youth. Our plan for 2021 is to provide the membership with as many opportunities to enjoy each other’s company and actually put a few miles on our Vipers. We also will be increasing the subsidy amount to our events to make up for the many cancelled events of last year. We also must follow the current CDC guidelines and State mandates as we try to create events and enjoy our club. As you can imag- ine, this is difficult. If anyone has ideas on safe events or suggestions of venues that can afford us enough room to gather safely, please contact me. By the end of February, we will update and post our Calendar of Events on the MCVO website.

  • $150 Million Verdict Against Chrysler in First Rear Gas Tank Jeep Fire Trial
    $150 million verdict against Chrysler in first rear gas tank Jeep fire trial April 3, 2015 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT – James E. (Jim) Butler, Jr. ([email protected]; office 706-322-1990; James E. (Jeb) Butler III ([email protected]; office 404-587-8423) At 6:15 pm yesterday, April 2, a jury in Bainbridge, Georgia returned a verdict in a case filed in 2012 by the parents of Remington Cole Walden, who died from fire after the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which he was riding exploded in flames following a rear impact. The rear impact ruptured the gas tank, causing a leak and fire. The jury found that Chrysler had acted with a “reckless or wanton disregard for human life” and that Chrysler “had a duty to warn and failed to warn of a hazard associated” with the Jeep. The jury also found the striking driver liable. The jury returned a verdict for $30 million for Remington Walden’s pain and suffering, and for $120 million for the full value of the life of Remington Walden. The jury determined that Chrysler was 99% at fault, and Mr. Harrell was 1% at fault. Chrysler had never before stood trial in any rear gas tank lawsuit filed against it, having settled prior lawsuits. The Plaintiffs in the Walden case declined to settle. The verdict was rendered in the Superior Court of Decatur County, Georgia, after a nine day trial before Judge J. Kevin Chason. Plaintiffs in the case were Lindsay Newsome Strickland and James Bryan Walden. At the time of Remington’s death on March 6, 2012, his parents were married.
