I have added ya to the list

zip439 - (Steve & Jessie) - '05 Gray Coupe - Abbeville, AL. (THURS, FRI, SAT)

 

Good news-
Tail of the Dragon completely open as of Friday night -from Dave @ US129Photos.com

 

Easy there, this will be the 3rd Dragon where I have had to run with these 'whiney' characters holding the black NA six speed on my back

Looking VERY forward to it indeed. Have to get the spoiler figured out and SRT springs on her, then we can play....

 

ME TOO...

 

Did someone say come out and play?

 

I THINK THEY DID,,,

 

For those of you who have never been to the dragon but have wondered, I strongly suggest you go. While people talk of the twist's and turns, etc., it really is only part of the story. The area is a great place to experience scenic drives in your XF. You will also get to meet a great group of other owners with a variety of personalities. Don't worry about going to fast, the groups are broken down into various driving styles. You never know, you may very well find another vacation spot even w/o being with other XF owners.

 

Well said. I was nervous the first time I went and had no idea what to expect. What I found was one of the most affordable and fantstic little getaways out there, and some of the best people around. 2x a year, my permagrin does not go away

And as Erzer said, even if you do not like spirited driving, some of the waterfalls and scenery around there are absolutely breathtaking....

 

As John Said , This be # 6 for me , It great time ! For all that are thinking about it STOP , Do it ! You will Like it !! SOME OF BEST PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD EVER MEET !!!

 

My first time was not what I expected. The driving was actually A VERY LITTLE PART of the weekend (what with the rain from friday to sunday morning).

The people, the laughter, the saturday night meal, the conversation, the wonderful fall colors.... it's so much more than tearing up the turns!

I also found out just how much I LIKE running thru the twists and turns - never thought that would appeal to a introverted ham radio geek like myself!

Whoever you are, what ever your interest in the car is... go to a Dragon. You will spend comparatively very little money compared to any vacation you take anywhere else - and have a great time doing so!

You, of course, get to meet me as well, and will understand why it's "Pizzaguy".















THAT will bring the crowds in!

 

Valk I'll be there... will make my reservations soon.

Got ya on the list.....let me know the nights you will be staying once you book your room

 

Gary looks like I won't make it until Friday. I'll know more closer we get to October

 

You can count me in, unless my class schedule changes.(I am back in college).

 

Got ya on the list.....

 

NOTICE:
Beginning next year (2011) I will only be arranging a "FALL" Tail of the Dragon.
Fall is the prettiest time of the year for this event and with only one GTG here each year it will free up the "SPRING" for others to plan and/or attend meets other places.

I do hope to continue to see all of you each year at the FALL GTG.
We currently have 35 on the list for this Fall - Oct 1, 2, 3
I encourage anyone who has not yet committed to attending to really give it some thought.
This is a terrific GTG with some of the best people I have ever met.
Hope to see some new faces and all my good friends again for this 4th Annual Fall 2010 - Tail of the Dragon GTG

 

 

Gary, Crumpy and I are down for Two Crossfires (assuming mine is repaired by then) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nites.

Gary: I think this is a good move. Since more & more folks are starting to put together local GTG's elsewhere, having the one coordinated event at The Dragon seems very reasonable.

Since Carlisle happens in July, this is now becoming a major annual event for Crossfire gatherings. I know for folks like yourself that attended the Spring Dragon, CAA, Carlisle and plan to attend the Fall Dragon, it's fast becoming a very busy year. And it's alot of miles on the Crossfire for some folks.

Anyway, I'm very appreciative (as are others) of your efforts to-date for all of the events you've spearheaded for the group.

 

I'll be coming in late Thurday night and will leave on Monday. I'll see if my good friend Julie will come along.
