Rough itinerary: using last year as a guide- Gary will make any necessary corrections

Friday- the beetles arrive in Bryson City, begining early/mid afternoon until evening. Photo ops / meet and greet / motel check-in. Maybe some are checking in a day earlier...you never know.
6:00PM, gather at the "Top" for an informal meet.
7:00PM begins "pizza fest". After dinner more "getting to know eachother" time. At this time, we're not sure if the pizza fest will be at the Top, or at Anthony's Italian Restaurant downtown. The amount of attendees and general concensus will determine that. Specific details to follow.

Saturday- early a.m breakfast at the Blue Ridge Grill / gas-up / car wash in preparation for taming the Dragon. We depart from the Blue Ridge @ 9:00AM sharp. Since the Dargon will be open for thru traffic, we'll go back to the maiden voyage tour loop. Those who are opting out of another run(s), can peruse the Deals Gap shops, where the 2+ Dragon runners will catch up.

Saturday night- Dinner at the "neon pig", followed by lots of Dragon tales at the "honeycomb hideout"- the loft of the Ridge Top, and the other hotel's hideaway i'm sure. After dinner David & Lynne (uwharrie)are planning on hosting an old fashioned "ice cream social" back at the Ridge Top. They are in hopes that those lodging elsewhere will make the trek back to the "Top" for evening fun and festivities. I want to personally thank them both for making this part of the 2K11 ToD experience.

Sunday- Leaving Bryson City. There's talk about doing something early (Breakfast- etc T.B.A) before everyone leaves. Plans are in the works.

Since we'll be returning to the original tour loop, there will still be time for those that want to make multiple runs while others shop at Deals Gap.

Some people.....well lets just say they get what they got commin....YouTube - S2000 vs. Integra and RX8 on Dragon's Tail

[SixChuter]

That's why we run the speed limit. Driving across the country so I can crash my car is not the plan.

[2004NBTURBOS]

Can I ask why you wanna run a 205/55 size tire?

[SixChuter]

I thought that was stock for the 16s. Never run 16s. Am I off the numbers?

We should get back on topic and take this to PM. Would like to get square on this change. Thanks for inquiring.

PM sent.

Between now and May I need to swap the O2 sensor, throw some new tires on him and a fresh oil change. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Not to worry buddy. There are some of us who have genuine distractions from the Org
