Wanna use that car for what is was intended?

Maaaaybe...knowing my luck the car would drive itself into a wall and someone would steal my identity while I **** oatmeal through a straw at the hospital.

Anyone driving in from the north for this event? I'm relatively close, thinking of making the trip down.

Yes, you should come. One of the best gatherings out there!

(revision, mine)
All are welcome from all over. We encourage non VCA to attend as well. It gives them an opportunity to meet more owners. Lots of driving, food, socializing, and (j/k)
Doesn't get much better than that.

Or if you wanna drive down to Atlanta the night before (Thursday), I can take you to a good ******* as opposed to the one Robert got to check out

We can probably save that for July-ish. But yeah, don't take me to that one you took him too. It was only his 2nd trip ever and he didn't approve, that's really saying something. Besides, the picture proof of the other was was good enough for me

Yea, I saw those pictures of the "good *******". I think we need to have a weekend meet there sometime. Maybe have lunch and dinner there on a Friday and Saturday just so we can sell all of the girls?

Re: Update on Tail Of The Dragon (U.S.129) Closure

good news

Tennessee and North Carolina Cooperative Efforts Will Open “The Dragon” | TN.gov Newsroom

Yes, good news! We currently can drive from the North Carolina side back to Tennessee. Matt Chambers and I currently suggest this itinerary:
Friday: ******* Barrel Knoxville to Pigeon Forge via 321 to Gatlinburg to Newfound Gap to Cherokee to Dragon Back To Pigeon Forge/Shuler Inn.
Saturday: Still in planning stages - but it'll be a doozy.
Sunday: Matt has secured 411 drag strip for us - getting an 'official' form to so-state before post definite info. However we need to ante up 400.00 check to secure the strip from 12p to 4p Sunday. I'll know further details this evening and will get with Chip before posting.

I think this year is going to be a blast - just hope you ALL can make it that did so last year AND wish Maurice could join us again - maybe rent a VIPER from Ringgold??

 

[uvbnbit]

Re: Update on Tail Of The Dragon (U.S.129) Closure

We need to get a rough idea how many are actually going to the drag strip on Sunday. And who will be participating or not. We may also have to charge a small fee (maybe $10-$20) to share the expense with the club.


So, who all is in???
