FAQ
Q: What is the Red Snake 500
A: The Red Snake 500 is a Pit Viper Cup Series motor race held biweekly at Big and Little Cottonwood International Speedways in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is held on Saturdays and Sundays every week from January through March, often on Fridays, and sometimes off-schedule. The inaugural Daytona 500 was held in 1969 coinciding with the opening of the speedway and since 2021, it has been the slowest race of the Cup series.
Q: Real funny, asshole
A: Sorry we can be more serious.
Q: Wait, this is Pit Viper isn’t it? This site is sketchy. Why aren’t you selling these on Pit Viper site? Why are the ads through another business?
A: Do you know how stinking hard is to run a business in 2025? Putting this thing on the website is a task for like 10 employees. This is just one employee celebrating a silly idea. The idea here is that this is marketing.
Q: OK, I understand. Can I combine my order with sunglasses?
A: No. I mean I guess if you want to Venmo me to my personal account I can maybe ship you some greased-up used ones from my personal collection but no. Different warehouse. Totally different operation.
Q: OK, that’s annoying. Well I have a customer service question. Can I email Pit Viper for that?
A: Also no. Email us here at info@redsnake500.com. We will be answering all customer service emails. That’s why all sales are final too. I’m just trying to move onto the next project and do another fun thing for you all. That’s why all sales are final. It’s a fucking T-shirt man.
Q: Tell me more about the T-shirt.
A: So it’s digitally printed, so it doesn’t have that heavy ink feeling like a screen printed shirt. This is good for all of us.
And because it’s digitally printed, only some T-shirts are good for that. Some materials don’t hold the ink as well or look as good. So we had it made on the boxiest, heaviest, most 1995 feeling shirt in the printer's catalog. It’s pretty damn good!
Q: I never pay for T-shirts. Can I have one for free?
A: Sure. If you post about it with a clickable link and can prove you got at least 100 people to click on the link.
Q: Pre-order? That’s annoying. I want to just buy it.
A: No totally. It is annoying. In fact it’s going to be really annoying for us when we tell you all we're going to deliver in four weeks and the print shop takes exactly that long and you all start emailing me like "hey where is it." So yeah. I’m with you. But ultimately, we are doing this on no budget out of the goodness of my corporate heart. So the only way is to have everybody pay upfront and then we can make them.
Q: How long will it take to get this thing?
A: Four weeks until we ship. Then of course another week for shipping.
Yeah so, basically just enough time for you to stop thinking the joke is funny. Regret buying it. Ask for your money back. Get through like 10 emails with me before I say "you know the rules and no you don’t get your money back." And then you’ll go through this big tunnel of stress where you post about it on your Instagram story instead of using your fucking journal like an adult. But then all of a sudden you’ll get a shipping notification and all your problems will be solved and a week later you’ll get the shirt and thank you the funniest person in the world again. So just be patient if you want to play this game.
Q: I don't want to preorder. Can I just buy one?
A: I will produce extras with any profits. Then sell those. Probably in person though, in a limited way where if you weren’t there that day you miss out forever. I'd preorder if I were you.
