Re: 7TH Annual Spring "Tail of the Dragon" GTG April 2014
No, Carl - and to all first-timers - we kinda get our heads together at the Friday night driver's meeting (well, mostly AFTER the meeting is over) where you can talk to Me/Franc/Nick/BigKid/Pacemaker and others and get an idea where you want to go and what you want to see - as well as how you want to drive it.
I want to do the friday meeting a bit differently - I'm gonna TRY to make the meeting last only 15 minutes and encourage everyone to break up and talk to leaders where you can get your answers to questions way faster than ONE person at a time asking about a run, etc. There is really little to say that is crowd-specific. We have a LOT of first timers, with Nick, Pacemaker(Johathan), and myself leading, I'm thinking we'll need one more leader and we should be good.
I THINK we will have a lot of "tourist class" entries and I'm fine with leading a tourist group so that Franc and those who drive like him can (try to) push Nick thru the curves!
We DO try to limit groups to about ten cars - any more and you have too many to handle in the little towns and restaurants along the way. Gas stops get to be long as well... But fact is, you go with who you want to!
DONE EDITING NOW

Also you do not have to join a group. if you want to go out and explore on your own or found a group of people that are doing something else you're more than welcome to do that.

As of yesterday I am no longer a Crossfire owner :,( I have gotten a job as a project manager for a commercial construction company and I had a hard time fitting scaffolding and metal framing in the back of Little X... so I traded it in on a 2009 Silverado. I will still be attending the dragon but sadly without a car

Looks like 25 cars, three attendees will be showing up with no car. Smallish group but more intimate and friendly (less chance that newcomers will feel so lost) 
And Micheal (SRQfun) is back on board - so our leaders so far are Me, SRQfun, 13dog and Pacemaker. This could work!

Being a manager at McDonalds and joints like that means you get a buck more than the guy beside you, you do most of the work and get blamed for everything.

Find a dealer near you that will let you 'test' drive a Crossfire for the weekend. Problem solved.
