    Lightbulb Dragon Run???

    I just thought I'd see what kind of interest there would be on a run through The Tail of the Dragon...

    318 curves in 11 miles!!!

    It is about 3 hrs. N of ATL, so it would be a full day trip, but it could be fun especially if enough people are interested and I expect there are a lot of good places for pics too!

    If you don't know what I am talking about you can go to www.chassismutts.com and download a video of the 11 mile run in either direction, but the video is a little sped up.
    You can also go to www.tailofthedragon.com for some general info...

    There is already a trip planned for April 21-23 with a lot of S2K's and Preludes attending...a few links below:

    Here's a vid from one of our runs...going at it pretty darn hard (and not sped up! )...to get the blood flowing!

    You're in the cockpit of the 4th gen (Tommy - jtcdudeman) following me. The other 3rd gen (Kevin - IllLuder88 ) is behind us somewhere!
    Right click and download this video! (3 minutes = 32.1 MB)

    Red line to Redline is 2.5 miles...

    Well I didn't want to set a date until I saw who else wanted to go and when...

    Since these guys already have a date planned for the end of April, that gives everyone about a month. What do you all think about that date and going out all together?????

    Dragon Run???
    Mattlanta

    Why is there a down arrow on my envelope??? That shit is annoying!

    I thought it was based on the number of reads or replies/posts, but it isn't (I compared others with less of both and they don't have the damn arrow)! WTF???

    We can do a one day thing and not stay anywhere. Maybe the people that don't want to stay overnight can meet up with you guys up there and head back together or vice versa.

    I kinda like the camping idea, but I don't have a tent or none of that stuff so I'd have to see who else is interested in that. Cool plan though!

    But see, that's the joy of mountain runs...no one will see it except any animals that may be around... It's about you and your car on a nice mountain run/cruise...

    OK, so who's coming? PM me for my address/number if you want to meet up and caravan with me on Friday morning (8-9am...don't be late!).

    Also, if you are planning on coming and want to meet up with us that are already up there, good luck finding out where we are! Cell phones don't work up here! Your best bet would be to try to leave early enough to meet up w/ us before we left the Fontana Dam campgrounds for the day (like get there by 8 cause I'm heading out early on Saturday to get some driving in before all the S2Kers get on the dragon and cause a road jam (175+ are registered!)!

    Well I gotta go to FL for work tomorrow until that weekend. Either I'll leave Friday (21st) and drive through the night or else I'll miss out!


    Sucks but I'm sure I'll have fun in FL too... I'll still try to make it but if not we can always do it again another date!

    Plans for Friday's trip to the Dragon...

    I plan on meeting up at the Kroger in Cumming, GA off of exit 14 on GA400 at around 8:30. At 9am, we'll be heading north. As of right now, I have no firm plans on stopping anywhere but there are 2 groups planning on leaving the same area around 10am (S2K's and NSX's). Right now, it's just me and Kevin (mid 80's turbo Z).

    When we get to Blairsville, we'll be meeting up with another luder from preludepower.com (Matt). I said I'd call him when I got in the area between 11:30-12:30. He will be ready and waiting (probably at the McDonald's in town) around this time frame so once we get there, it will be a quick meet up and then continue to the Dragon.

    Don't know if anyone went but we had a blast!

    Just a few quick highlights...





    There was an S2000 that went over an embankment into some trees. The driver is alright but the rest of the weekend was screwed up because of it. There was 3 cop cars, a motorcycle and the helicopter!

    Had an awesome weekend though! Played with S's, NSX's, even a few other cars (new 350z) all on the dragon.

    In the words of the NSX driver (cool guy BTW!), "You were right on my a$$!" lol
