You'd been drinking since we got back from our run and dinner.

You probably dont even remember how the little guy from the UFO came into our room that night and gave me the secret to women, either.
(I may have been drinking too...)
Hey! You're the one that got ill in the car the next morning

Good Morning everyone,

I am less than 5 days away from departing for the Tennessee/North Carolina mountains and, even with the news of our dear friend Jim departing our world, I am still excited to see everyone. It's been a long time since I've gone to this event for the roads. Hell I don't even own a Crossfire anymore. I come to see the friends I have made over the pass years. I'm sad to admit that I see some of you more times a year than I see my own family. Silly huh?


I think if we had a slogan for our gathering at the Dragon it would be.

"Come for the roads. Come back for the people."

See you all in a few days,
Nick

To be honest.. Yeah I'm looking forward to driving the Dragon. But it's not like we don't have a few miles of tight curves and fun roads around here. Pretty much looked at the Dragon as "too far for a road-drive". Well after getting on board with CAA#4, and the great time we had with the members - This trip was put on the list of things to do. We're looking forward to the "road trip adventure"... but getting to meet up with the people here, that otherwise would never cross my path in life, is the primary reason.

Yes sir you do have a long trip but I'm pretty sure after next weekend on your way back home the memories you will take with you will make it all worth the time.
Drive safely and prepare for a weekend filed with "permagrin"

Last I spoke with Max ( about a week ago ), he wasn't coming. Did he change his mind ?

I still want to go with you on the run Friday nick, But I'm gonna try to get up early and run the Dragon first. That way, I SHOULD be able to get in a good pass or two before all the weekenders show up.

And I just deleted pjm30144 as he sold his car and was going to ride up with me, but has to be home as the buyers fly in Friday.
