Definitely on the radar. Dodge needs to still “formally” communicate what will happen with the car. I’ve heard a few rumblings (even one that said a 2017 might even not happen or be really limited). So we’ll wait to see what their plan is and we’ll certainly plan on a serious party.

I already have a sponsor to ship 6 of our local club cars to the event and want to start working on a shirt design.

Insane. That’s not bad at all.
We have a call with Dodge tomorrow, we’ll discuss the event, but I doubt we’ll get much detail this far into the future. They typically don’t plan that far ahead relative to the small details. But keep it on the burner, that’s a big win for you guys. Good work!

Any more news on this Alex?

Haven’t met with them yet. And I’m guessing this far out there won’t be much.

Got an answer for you. We had the meeting with FCA today (discussed NVE2 experiences, NVE3 planning, general stuff, etc…). Talked about the end of the car, right now they seem focused on celebrating the 25th year – they want that to be in people’s minds more so than the end. But next year they then do hope to have a proper going away. They are indeed at looking at facilitating something (and we’d obviously then build an event around it). They can’t commit yet, simply because it’s too far in the future and frankly not focused on it yet. But their mind is likely something at the plant and there might even be something more built around this or as a secondary goodbye thing (like a viper cruise). But at this time completely non-specific, and it’s because they are just spit balling at this point. They’ll keep us posted but I can almost bet that we won’t have anything until after the 1st of the year. We can deal with that. We just want to make sure we have enough time to build a gathering around it and obviously not conflict with other events we’re hosting. So the most important thing is a calendar date so clubs don’t plan something at that same time (it’s happened before!). I sense we’ll get to know well in advance, we requested at least 6 months ahead of time and encouraged fair weather months so we don’t have weather to contend with.
If anyone has ideas we can share with them, feel free to mention. It’s early enough where I’m sure they could consider.
Take care

Thank you very much, works for me. I thought about the idea of the 25th anniversary too, makes for a better celebration

Thanks Alex!

Is there going to be another Last Viper event at Conner in 2017. If not will they still have tours in 2017.
