I think my MINI group is doing the Dragon this Sunday. Should be a good day, hopefully not too crowded. Once I see when and where the meeting places are, I'll decide which group I'm driving up with. A lot of them live far north of town so meeting might not be too easy.

**Jehu** · 06-20-2006, 08:57 AM

I wish I could go but I have a Dragon run coming in July that I need to save and prepare for.

And when can we get a Sat group together!

**Jehu** · 06-20-2006, 09:54 AM

A mountain run on the Tail of the Dragon is also known as a Dragon Run.

**JennB** · 06-20-2006, 10:22 AM

It's just an expression, y'all.

If we go on a drive, a lot of people call it a "run". You can go for a mountain drive, a mountain run, a dragon drive, dragon run, whatever... it's not a big deal.

**Dewain27** · 06-20-2006, 10:47 AM

Just got back from the Dragon week before last... It was a blast! I hope you guys have fun!

**Jehu** · 06-20-2006, 11:35 AM

There is a difference between a regular mountain run and a Dragon run. The mountain runs can be anywhere (including on the dragon I guess) while the Dragon run is on a particular road I linked above.

So when I say Dragon run, I mean going up to the Tail of the Dragon while a mountain run can be anywhere (though I don't refer to trips to the dragon as a mountain run) in the mountains.

For me, a mountain run is usually a 1 day affair while the Dragon runs are a weekend plus thing for me (it takes like 3 hours to get there though you drive through the N GA mountains to get there like through Neel Gap and over blood mountain)...

That's my take on it anyway!

same here , but im located in gwinnett.

**JennB** · 06-20-2006, 12:31 PM

I've been to the Dragon more than a few times. It's been nearly a month now since my last time so I've got the itch. I've done it in one day plenty of times and spent as much as 5 days at Fontana Village.

The Dragon is a place and some people say run, some say drive... whatever.

We discussed this a few weeks ago but a lot of people said it was too far for them. To me, it's worth it and I'll be there one way or another.

can i still hitch a ride?

**Jehu** · 06-20-2006, 01:18 PM

Yeah, I agree but for those who say it's too far, that's why I make it a weekend thing. Once you go, you can't get mountain runs, especially the Gap, out of your system.

Twisties...the anti-drug!

**JennB** · 06-20-2006, 02:01 PM

The MINIs are leaving at 7am... EEK!

If I go, I'm not leaving until 10 or so. It is about 3 hours there if you take the fun way but hey... it's fun.

**HvyArms** · 06-20-2006, 02:20 PM

I'm gonna go, but I asked if there was a difference because I need springs. I need to drop my car, so when I go through turns and stuff my car is all over the place. Ho wmany of us are going so far, looks like...mmm 5

**JennB** · 06-20-2006, 04:46 PM

Go to the website that is linked on the previous page.

I want to go... only thing that would stop me is if I end up going to Summit Point weekend after this one. If I'm going to the track, I need to be kind to my tires and wallet.

**Jehu** · 06-20-2006, 06:11 PM

so are you guys going to the Dragon then? Why not wait and join some Preludes and NSX's at the Gap on July 13-16?

**Jehu** · 06-21-2006, 09:56 AM

^^^^^

**RX8volution** · 06-20-2006, 11:13 PM

Shite! I live for the mountain twisties!... sucks I can't do much on Sundays though - Saturday and I'm all over it... maybe even on a Sunday if there's a decent crowd... only problem is that if there are too many people, you attract the fuzz

**Elbow** · 06-21-2006, 07:07 AM

id go, but i lost reverse and need a clutch

**{X}Echo419** · 06-21-2006, 09:01 AM

**ShooterMcGavin** · 06-21-2006, 09:10 AM

i'm actually thinking about backing out myself, i need new brakes and just realized i've already spent over $200 in gas the last 2 wks w/my trips and outings so unless i'm riding shotty i'm gonna stay my ass at home =/

PM sent...i'm still wanting to go

**HvyArms** · 06-23-2006, 10:32 PM

I'm willing to go, provided there's no rain. Met up with a guy who CLAIMS, he had a C70. CLAIMS he'll sell his barely used springs to me. Now he wont return my calls. Anybody know Mark with the stock red M3?
