I'm pretty sure you got it right, Gary.
It's a good first-timer showing, this means a good Dragon!

While it's fun to have everyone experienced and knowing the routes, etc. - it's more fun to have people attend the first time and see what they have been missing.
We have several veterans missing from the list.

I think all the GTGs we have these days works against the Dragon attendance, but it's still good that people are getting together in Texas and the Midwest and Carlisle, etc. - and having new people adds to the fun.

Ray, Susan
The group that stays and/or meets in Florence will come through Lexington about 1 hour after they leave Florence.
I suggest you contact James1549 directly and get his cell number and give him yours.
Then you can have two way contact on that Friday morning to firm up the meeting plan if possible.
I'm flying down this time so I'll be arriving at the lodge around 2pm on Friday afternoon....

Try finding one for sale in a manual shift roadster.

Sorry Franc, still working out the details. I was out all last week for work and catching up with the personal life. I hope to finalize details this week and I will let you know. We will certainly be going through St. Louis for sure. It is just a matter if we stop in Columbia or St. Louis area on Wednesday night.

Yeah! and look at the asking price.

One could buy two NA roadsters for that. One in Graphite and one Aero blue.

Carfax shows an interesting pedigree for this vehicle. Looks like it was a Chrysler employee lease vehicle (bet it was someone at the Belvidere assembly plant), then auctioned off to a NY dealer and now for sale in VA.
Probably won't get $23K, but the low mileage may fetch $18-19K. Flush the fluids, change the tires and you have a new Xfire.
