Change of plans for dinner Saturday, everyone. It is no longer "dinner on your own". This is something that we've been working on for a few weeks as an alternative to the $30 a plate catered dinner that so many disliked.

We have not done this since 2010, so, back by popular demand.......................

ATTENTION!!


For all attending the Fall 2019 Tail of the Dragon Get Together!!

We are planning a cookout for all Crossfire people on Saturday The 5th in the Chestnut room. With burgers, hot dogs, etc… To cover cost incurred by other members there will be a charge of $10.00 per person. Your planning committee has also obtained several great items that will be raffled off that night. We will be selling tickets at the door for the raffles. This promises to be an enjoyable evening with great food, conversations, fellow enthusiasts, and some pretty awesome prizes!


If you would like to volunteer to assist with setup, cooking, clean up and such please post here and we will add your name to our list.

One week from tomorrow morning, I head for the airport to make my way to the Dragon. I'll be in the area early to visit family and friends and get some things in order.

We are down to the wire!

Weather forecast is looking very nice for our weekend. Rain is moving through early in the week with nothing but sunshine for when we are scheduled to be there.

For all the first timers coming in, be safe and stay in your lane , try not to cross the yellow line ! Mark will preach more about that at the driver meeting , just something think about before you get there !

A handout will be posted here this weekend and on Facebook, Ray. I am getting help editing it and bringing it up to date.
I want to keep the meetings as short as we can.

Ok, this should be my last update. I am SO looking forward to seeing all of you next week. Attached are some resources for you; if you have never gone to the Dragon please read this stuff over. If you HAVE been there, skim the "Attendee Package" at least enough to read about Saturday evening.

I'm going to work Monday to 'fake it' and then head for the airport on Tuesday. Thanks once again to Jeff K in Greer, NC for the loan of a wonderful SRT Roadster.

Lars Keller just called me, he is taking Marie's room. So his room, 164, a king room in Garden Unit D, is available. PLease spread the word. I have his cell number if anyone wants to grab his room!

ALSO, beware that https://www.windrestrictor.com has donated prizes and that includes a 15% discount for ANYONE ordering now thru the end of the Dragon. Enter "DRAGON" at checkout.

I suggested to Lars today to just release the room. It is apparent we have all who are going already accommodated.
The room will be released late today (SundaY) or tomorrow morning.
