The dragon is a strech US129 as it runs from the Tn to the NC side over the mountains. It has 318 curves in 11 miles. It is the windest strech of road in the US. I draws people from all over to make the trip to ride/drive it. Once you have been bitten by the dragon you will understand what it is all about. It is worth the trip to make it out there. I go at least every other month or I did till I move where its 1200 miles for me to go. But do make it out there if you live within a good distance of it.

I might be able to make it. The only reason I didn't make it last year is because of a nasty wreck that totalled the Celica a week before the meet.
If I do come I'd be bringing my new baby, an 87 Supra targa top turbo.

So any updates guys? I've been following this around for a few weeks, and recently thought about going.
I'll definitely be there. Just tell me a date so I can take those days off work.

set somethin final and i'll try to go, depends on m basketball schedule
I haven't paid attention to this but i'm setting something up like this for August 19-21 I was making a meet for the Dragon and it's the only availible weekend for the next couple of months.
Well good luck. Im a no-go. School starts back at the begining of August.
Obviously nobody wants to be in charge, so let me make a suggestion. Its too much trouble to get people to commit to going. Stuff happens, people drop, nothing wrong with that, but it makes it too hard for someone to reserve rooms, or a cabin. So, the simplest thing is for everyone to find their own lodging, or get together w/one or two other people, instead of one person trying to find lodging for everyone. There has been the most reaction to June 24-26, so lets say everyone drives up Friday 24 and finds a place to stay, and Sat morning we all just meet up at a predetermined place and time. Anyone more than say 30 min late gets left. The simplest way is usually the best. I can still make this date, is anyone else still interested?
what's the estimated time you're lookin at for sat. morning? i'll drive down from home but i don't have the funds for staying over or anything. i'd like to meet up, get some good pictures, and then take a drive up the mountains and maybe get some more cool pics all together at overlooks or somethin...just throwing some ideas down.
I was thinking like 10:00AM. I don't know where we would meet just yet. Redline racer knows the area better than I do. I was hoping he would have a suggestion.
Come on. Everybody let me know what you think. who else can go?

June 24th is only a lil over a weeks notice. You need to push this back by a month, I'd say.Then people will actually show. Also, try to reserve an area.

Alot of people start going back to school in August, so the latest we could probably do this is July 15-17 or 22-24. I don't really have time to plan an event like this. I was just trying to step in and make sure something happend. If there is to be hotel reservations for everybody and a reserved place to meet, then someone is going to have to step up and help me out. Also, EVERYONE who would like to attend needs to reply by the end of this week to let know how many are coming and which weekend they con be here.
i say you don't worry bout everybody's hotels and stuff. if they wanna stay that should be up to them. it'll be pretty difficult to reserve rooms for alot of people then somebody would be screwed when people didn't show and stuff. i say we just meet and see what happens then if anybody's interested in stayin they can go from there.
It will be hard to go to the dragon then, both of those weekends are packed.
BTW i've got an associate whose nephew owns a hotel in Maggie Valley, if people made reservations now it's 50 bucks per room, 2-4 people per room.

Every weekend in the summer is packed up at the dragon. As much as I want to go there it is best to do it on a weekday. Besides we can't be sure of the weather. If its raining there is no way I'm going to Deals Gap.
Also, we need more interest. Right now it doesn't even seem worth bothering with.
is the dragon necessary? i was still thinkin pigeon forge would be just a nice place to have a 'meet.' not that i don't wanna drive it, but if it's such a hassle we could all just hang out and stuff and maybe cruise the strip on a friday or saturday night and go do something in gatlinburg.
I agree. the dragon is fun, but too much of a hassle
so is anybody up for like just meetin up down there somewhere on the 25th or maybe the july 2nd. or the next couple of weeks. anyone even remotely interested give us some feedback or some suggestions on what you'd like to happen.
guess not
