About us

President – Greg Cerny.

Vice President – Mr. Mike Sutton.
Mike currently serves as a CNC Application Engineer for the world’s largest CNC/Robotic Corporation. His passion for the Viper was sparked the moment he met other members of Motor City Viper Owners (MCVO) and had the opportunity to drive a Gen 2 GTS. Since then, Mike purchased a Gen 2 GTS and upgraded to a Gen 5, which he is actively modifying to better align with his personal vision. Prior to his current role, Mike devoted two years as the Motorsports Director for MCVO. Following that, he served as President of the MCVO for four years (two terms). His leadership and dedication were recognized when he was nominated and subsequently elected as the VOA National Vice President.
