5th Annual Dragon Meet!!!! (1st June - 5th June) **Attending and Caravan Thread**
Alright guys.... The 5th Annual Dragon meet is now only 3 weeks away!!! I want to get as many SVXi there this year!!! I have noticed that there are more and more people in North and South Carolina, Georga, and Tennessee(sp?)... Lets get you guys to this event!!! It is awesome!!!
Here are some details on the meet: - Put on by NASIOC every year (5th year now) - Meet is based out of the BEAUTIFUL mountian region around Fontana Village - Usually around 70 WRX's show up - Last year the only SVXi there were Me, Porter, Huck, Stevebsy and Arondale - Meet is named after the famous strech of road on HWY 129 called "The Dragon" (318 curves in 11.3 miles!!) - Other Awesome roads in the area include but are not limited to: *** HWY 28 *** Southern Stretch of HWY 129 *** Wahya(sp?) Rd. *** Cherhola Skyway - I am incharge of planning the activities at the Village and so far we have: *** Drinking *** LAN Party on PS2 or Xbox (Gran Turismo 4, Ace Combat 5, HALO, ect.) *** Bond Fires on Friday and Saturday *** Hiking *** Local sightseeing *** FREE Whitewater Kiacking(sp?) on Friday morning -- Edit: time and date set at 11:00am on Friday I will be going up for the entire 5 days. I will be leaving from Beaufort, SC (Near Savannah, GA) some time around 1200 on Wednesday June 1st. If there are any SVX owners that want to come up to the meet on that say, let me know and we can caravan up!! If you want to come up another day, this is the place to look into your caravan options. If interested, PM me and we can work out a driving route that works to meet up!! I hope to see alot of SVXi there this year... My SVX will be finished by then and will be at the Dragon leading the way for the "Slow Group"... Hope to make a good video this year with all the equipment that I have now... For more information on the meet, you can visit the NASIOC thread on the meet which is located here. Here are some pics of the years gone by...

I "Might" be able to swing the 3rd, 4th, and 5th... at worst the 4th and 5th.
Perhaps some other GSP region members would like to caravan up there?

Like I said, the weekend shouldn't be a problem, but seeing as I am contracted to do a job for people that... aren't here to do the job... I can't get the time during the week off. Friday at BEST.
Basically, I am the one stop IT shop guy... yes, I know it sounds like a convenience store, but beleive me, nothing that I have to do for the users is... convenient, to me or them!!

Is there a code for a discount rate at any of the area hotels? Or is it FFY(Fend for yourself)?

It's a great meet, everyone that has the chance should be there. Absolutely incredible roads, every one should drive them at least once……and we need the sacrificial Virgin SVX to offer up to the Dragon this year…..last year it was Chris’s….the year before it was Harry’s……. http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...k369/12261.JPG

I've ridden everyone of those roads on a motorcycle. There is some great riding to be had in that area. The Cherahala is my road of choice. you could just put me on there and leave me all day. There is a KOA in Tellico Plains Tenn at the foot of the Cherahala. The Kabins sleep 3 - 4 people minimum. I've stayed there the last 3 years and it's not that far from the Gap.
Unfortunately those dates conflict with a trip to Indianapolis June 3rd. I will be in that area, the Gap, the third week of Sep for our annual Yamaha FJ1200 Motorcycle Fall Rally. I love that area, too bad it takes me 10 hours to drive there...... Quote:
