I named my SRT6 'Double Ugly' after the F-4 Phantom II after I took it to an autocross and realized, it likes straight lines and high speed sweepers much better than tight twisties.

We have a whole big section of lawn to park on down the hill from the house
Re: 9th Annual Fall 2015 - Tail of the Dragon GTG-October 1, 2, 3, 4
Correct. the "Chateau" is on the side of the mountain. virtually no parking there.
But, our host Jim, has about two flat acres of grass at the bottom,,, and a shuttle bus.

As reported on FB and elsewhere, it seems that we will be sharing the roads and Fontana Village with the Hyundai Genesis enthusiasts. I wonder how many of them will show up, but right now, the weather forecast looks good, so there should be lots of fleas on the Dragon's tail...

OK, I have to ask:
how many of those attending have pulled out the rotary or orbital buffer and blew a perfectly good Saturday?
Now: on to the interior!

Yes, I mean to inspire everyone I can....since the youngest car there will be at least 7 years old, let's make the "Gen-X" crew feel bad.

FRANC'S OFF ROAD ADVENTURE
As of now we are sporting 25 cars and about 35 people.
That's about 400 to 500 feet of non stop Crossfires on a mountain road.

Keep in mind, they are ALWAYS there when we are - both in the spring and fall. I will be riding with one of them on their Saturday "midnight run" - which happens at 9pm (NO WAY will I drive like that, at night, on the Dragon!)
Here is Robert trying to keep up with Gus...
