I'm hoping for the best but, current weather trends suggest a cold wet weekend after a sunny Friday. Let us hope it brightens.
I would love to be proven wrong.
They do need the rain in NC and Georgia.

For what it's worth, I called the Fontana Resort tonight to confirm our reservation. The weather has been rainy and cool. She did say they find that The Weather Channel forecasts are not overly accurate, they'd go with what Accuweather forecasted over Weather Channel. After last spring what are the chances?

Just a comment about tunes from TVT:
Anthony from TVT Design has forwarded me the hardware and software necessary to download your ECU and send it off to be tuned. I've gone through the process with Anthony over the phone, and it takes less than an hour. (not including LET's time going over your file). Jerry and LET were very good, and had me a tuned ECU file to upload withing an hour of sending it in.

I'll be attending the Dragon, and anyone interested in getting an ECU tune at the Dragon, let me know. PM me or Anthony at TVT Design. We''ll get you hooked up. Please contact Anthony for pricing. I talked to Anthony today (as we were going over my tune) and he's excited to offer tunes at the Dragon. Between TVT and LET you can't go wrong.

But with an attitude like his, will she even let him now?


Franc - have you never heard the expression "know when to stop digging your foxhole"? Just say to Cathy "yes dear" and move on.

OK guys ,
Mexico was GREAT and the weather was perfect all week.
I hope I can bring good luck to the weather for next weekend in Fontana Dam.
I am currently at LA Int. airport and will be on a flight home arriving tonight.
I have read over the posts here and I will be adding those who have just joined in on the meet once I get home.
I"m really pumped about this meet and looking froward to seeing all of you again and meeting new faces

A few more pics from Mexico....

Welcome back, Valk.

Bring a box of that sunshine and maybe a couple of those pool girls with you to the Dragon.

I'm looking for four or five volunteers with a Coupe to bring Ice Coolers to the meet.
These folks will need to carry the coolers on the Saturday run.
We will be picking up all the ice and cold items for the BBQ in Robbinsville when we make our lunch stop.
I will be sure to get you to the store once there.
It is right on the road we travel once arriving in town
I am unable to transport a cooler down from Illinois as I will have my coupe loaded with all the paper/plastic and dry goods products from Sam's Club near my home.
I just want to have everything we need for the BBQ in advance so I will be purchasing it all in the next few days.
I will post back here and provide ther list of volunteers once available.
This would be a great help to me and for us all to have a great BBQ Saturday night.
