As the season marches onward, we be-gin to look forward to Finals. This year Finals will be held at Eagles Canyon in Denton, TX. Everyone is invited. For our drivers it will be a challenge, no one will have been on the track, it is new for eve-ryone. For our spectators they are in for a treat, watching the best of the East take on the best of the West. It will be a spectacle. Let’s not forget the other ac-tivities, Friday night reception is when everyone receives their goodies. Satur-day night brings out the arsenal of tro-phies. I for one can’t wait to see who will win the perpetual trophies this year! Since we are thinking about Finals, we also must think about next year. We are already working on tracks for 2009. There will be some surprises in store….stay tuned!! See you at the track!

Willow Springs
As seen through the windshield By Skip Thomas
The season is over half complete and it has been a tough
season. Driver entries are down over 20% and race car
counts are also down. This trend is definitely indicative of
our economic situation and will likely not improve in
2009. BUT we are moving ahead full speed ahead and
have a proposed 2009 schedule and working on 2009
sponsorship.
This is where you can help. Sponsorship packages start at
$500.00 and go to $15,000.00 for a total event sponsor-
ship. You are the title sponsor. Bring your customers to
your event.
If you have an idea of a potential sponsor please let us
know. Also any ideas, no matter how far fetched is ap-
preciated and will be evaluated.
We need your input/assistance now!

BEREA, Ohio – CORSA Performance Exhausts, an official sponsor of The Performance Driving School,
boosts the look and performance of the 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 with their cat-back exhaust system
featuring Reflective Sound Cancellation™ (RSC) technology.
CORSA Performance’s
RSC technology delivers a power-
ful tone and boost output of the
vehicle’s 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-
cylinder engine. The system de-
livers a crisp, high-performance
sound during acceleration, but
maintains a civilized cruising note
for comfort inside the vehicle.
The Dodge Caliber SRT4 single rear-exit exhaust features premium stainless steel 3-inch tubing
with a 4-inch Pro Series Tip. According to the company, the system makes an additional 9-13 horse-
power and 15 lbs. ft. of torque in chassis dyno tests. The system expands CORSA’s Dodge SRT prod-
uct lineup, which also include the Dodge Neon SRT4, Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, Magnum SRT8,
Charger SRT8 and Viper SRT10.
This exhaust system is available
through CORSA distributors and
Mopar Performance outlets.

Dear Skip, Thank you again for an awesome weekend at VIR. It was the most fun I have ever had and I truly learned a lot. On my drive home to Miami, I found my-self more alert and more aware of my surroundings. I found myself driving very differently and looking ahead. My readjusted side and rearview mirrors work phenomenally. The new seating position is awesome. Attending PDS has really changed the way I look at motorsports. I really matured the way I look at a car. Thank you so much for an event I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life. I hope to join you guys again for another Viper Days. Take care. Sincerely, Peter Fong
A great note from Dennis Mason that reminds us why we enjoy do-ing this so much!
Courtney...I will be there on Friday night for Saturday and Sunday. This will be my last event. At the drivers meeting at Mid Ohio this year you mentioned that we were blessed to be able to race at such a historic track and we were also blessed to have the means to do so. What you didn't say which was more important, was that you had a Dad who had the vision to organize Viper Days, a Mom who let her husband follow through with his dreams, Tracey and yourself along with countless sponsors who made it all happen for these many years so that people like me could have fun, learn how to drive safely and enjoy the many friends we never would have met without such an organization. For that I think all of us at Viper Days have been truly blessed and I want to thank you all for contributing such a memorable time to my life. I'm go-ing to miss you all terribly but my inner self says it's time to let go this part of my life go. See you there for my final run........Denny
