Every year me and a few forum members and friends from all over head to the Tail of the Dragon. We all know what the Dragon is and it's a blast, especially if you like to DRIVE your car.

This fall, we are doing a 1 day Dragon trip...leave early in the morning, do some morning runs up and down the mountain, have lunch, and get a few more runs in, then head back home. This is a 1 day trip, no overnight stay, and cost should be a few tanks of gas, and lunch. Definitely an awesome, testosterone filled time, full of stories and memories.

We are set on Friday October 10, 2014. Post up if you want to go

Awesome bro....

I just finished up changing oil, tightening coils, tightening suspension bolts, threw track wheels/tires on, and went out for a test hit. Car is ready...just need to Ranger the clutch fluid, wipe it down, and load her up.

must be nice to trailer her there. I have to run street tires and drive her there. I dont think my 88 VW Fox would pull her and a trailer lol. I have a set of track wheels and a set of tires on them but a little nervous about running them since the rear tires are 285s stretched on a 12 inch wheel lol.

I found a way to drive the vette to the track on street tires and change them when I get there.
