The Kansas City Region of the
VCA is one of the newest, having been founded in June of 1999. A major
metropolitan area with numerous Vipers, the area was split by the
Gateway Club in St. Louis and the Kansas/Oklahoma Club in Tulsa. We started with
just 10 members have have since grown to well over 100. The Kansas City Region
includes Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Western Missouri.
We have since grown to over 100 and continue to add more each
year.
Our goal is a simple one: To have an active club that offers something
for everybody. The cars don't make up the membership, the people do. As
a result, the Kansas City VCA is active in racing, showing, cruising,
and just general get togethers. We offer everything from a progressive
dinner cruise to drag racing at Heartland Park or KCIR. We want all of
our members and their guests to feel right at home in the Kansas City
VCA. Unlike many regional clubs, we welcome other serious car
enthusiasts as paid Associate Members in the club - whether they own a
Viper or not. We share a common interest and we hope have many of the
same goals.
Welcome to our website and we hope you enjoy your stay!

Bill Corum, President wcorum@blackwellsanders.com
Bill started with the club a few years ago with his lovely bride
Shawna and they have been enjoying it ever since. Indeed, they were so
thrilled with their gorgeous 1999 Viper GTS that they added a beautiful
2006 SRT10 Coupe to their stable this past year. You can see them at
most Viper events and area cruises in one of their cars. Bill's term
runs through 2008.
Jerry Dobson, Vice President/Treasurer jerry@kansascityvca.com
Jerry drives a stunning 1998 GTS and is the most active member in the
club. He is deeply torn between leaving his car (with 647 coats of
Zaino) in the garage or taking advantage of his engine mods on an
already very strong car. You can find this single guy at many cruises,
usually surrounded by 30 import cars. Jerry also organizes numerous
impromptu cruises and is also the Vice President of the local Ferrari
Club. His term runs through 2008.
Kurt Echols, Treasurer kurtechols@comcast.net
Kurt joined our club a couple years ago with his effervescent bride Chellie. He
owns a beautiful 2001 RT/10 in Viper yellow - reputed to be the fastest color on
the planet. With one son and another on the way, we knew this was the guy we
wanted pinching pennies for club. He really knows the value of a dollar these
days! Kurt's term runs through 2008.
Ron Kooser,
Secretary rckooser@aol.com
Ron joined the club in 2005 as an Associate Member with his wife Cathy and their
SRT10 Dodge Ram. He enjoyed his time with the Viper Club so much that we went
out and bought a gorgeous Gen I RT/10. He traded that beauty and
his truck for a new 2006 SRT10 Roadster this past year. One our most
enthusiastic members, Ron's term runs through 2008.
