Tennessee Meet (March) Tail of the Dragon

That's the beauty of the Interweb. Millions of people I haven't pissed off yet.

:biggrin:

HaHaHa , this is true. I am sure everyone online can say that. Whats been happening, responded to your PM,

---------
A Cor what?
 
Looks like rain and snow this weekend for my trip so I'll leave the NSX at home. I might be tempted to run it in my Tacoma though.

I'm in for the 29th now...don't shun me if we bring the ladies old Corvette. :wink:

I'm in possibly for either weekend. I plan to be there in two weeks (in the NSX weather permitting) but might be up for another trip in March.
 
Ha Ha. I ran into Matt over on the Elise forum. He's in. Small world eh?

:cool:

I believe matt started a thread on the elise forum and thats how i've heard about it.

Just matt and I so far have confirmed so i doubt we will be out numbering you guys.

My cousin has 2005 sk2 and is very interested in purchasing a 02+NSX next spring. He's been dying to get out and expierence the car somehow. Since they arent available for test drives anymore at the local dealership. :wink:
Anyway i figured what better way.

I hope you guys dont mind a couple lotus and an s2k to tag along. As long as the weather looks good were 100% in.
 
We will be glad to have you guys. Look forward to seeing you there.

Cheers
Mike

Cool! Variety is the spice of life I say. Love to see some Loti involved and we usually round up an S2k or two everytime we meet.

:cool:
 
Sounds great. Now lets just cross our fingers for decent weather. :biggrin:

I cant wait. This will be the Lotus' first match up against the Dragon!

Just make sure the Lotus wins and not the Dragon! :biggrin:
 
Yeah^^^ tell me about it. This will also be my first trip with in a mid-engined car.

Dont worry ive heard the horror stories so i will be making sure im very expierenced int he cars reaction habits before i get down there.
 
Well, it's almost March. Time to think about this thing for real. Is there any consensus where the out-of-towners are going to stay?
 
Hello, from Greenville SC.... The closer it is getting to the date, the better it looks for me. I assume you are talking about Cherokee, NC and the casino hotel is the place to stay? How far would it be to the dragon from Cherokee?

Im still looking good and getting excited.

Probably going to be recruiting more a couple more lotus' to come along.
 
Looking forward to this!

Mike, give me a call and let me know when you are coming through Jackson.
 
Is there a set time (and place) we're looking to meet up? I plan on doing the Cherahola on the way up (and back) so wondering if I need to head up Friday. Is there a drive route we're plannin on?

If someone needs some OEM speakers minus the AMPs you can have them. I also have a front license plate bracket I'll prob never use if someone is looking for one with free delivery (dirt cheap price). :wink: I'd almost give away my stock wheels too but can't get them up there with me.
 
Me and a few others will be staying at the following Holiday Inn in Cherokee. We'll probably hang out at the Casino Friday night. I think it is less than a mile from our hotel.

Good questions. I don't know, and I will defer to Mike (organizer) or James (local).

But in case we need a conversation point to get things rolling, I have driven over this way quite a few times. I usually start around Townsend and make a great big loop along this route:

(Click for bigger)

I'm staying on the TN side in Knoxville with family. So, I'd vote for an earlyish starting somewhere in Townsend/Maryville where we can all get gas / breakfast. That said, whatever the 'the plan' is let me know and I will be there.
 
I would think around 9AM would be a good time to meet. I am not the person to ask about where, i haven't been on the Dragon in about 25 years :redface: . I'll let the locals handle the plans :wink:


Mark, i will be leaving Memphis early in the morning on the 27th or the 28th. I won't know which till closer to the date. I will call you when i know for sure.
 
I vote we meet somewhere in or around Townsend. Let's say tentatively at 9:30 to give the guys staying in NC some time to get across the park on 441.

From there, we can take foothills parkway down to the dragon (really nice drive) and see where things go from there.

I'll drop James a PM and see if he knows anywhere we can meet with decent breakfast and gas nearby.
 
How long would it take everyone on the TN side to get to the dragon? I think we are about 1/2 hr from there.
