Re: 2024 Subaru Alcyone Dragon Meet
Hey now, just wanted to get a few more details about the meet with a few questions, as I've never been to it before:
1) Is most of the action on Saturday and, if so, when do things get under way? It's a +/- 9 hour drive for me, so just wondering, for instance, if there are activities on Friday. If so, I can make the right travel arrangements; 2) Do you do the full 11 mile drive on The Tail, returning to Fontana? I've seen that driving or riding the Tail can be ... a handful ... on the weekends and is very busy. Very interested in going so figured I'd plan early!

So the main day is Saturday, but best to get there Friday, as once we get rolling Saturday, it will be difficult to catch up with the group during the day. Hope this helps

Re: 2024 Subaru Alcyone Dragon Meet
If you really want to experience the Dragon, get up around sunup and head up there. You won't get Killboy photography, and the souvenir shop won't be open yet, but the road will be mostly empty.

Re: 2024 Subaru Alcyone Dragon Meet
The Dragon Meet is less than 2 months away, you need to reserve a room/cabin, if you haven't already!
May be the last year I host it

Re: 2024 Subaru Alcyone Dragon Meet
I'd love to use it as an excuse for a long weekend run, but unfortunately I have family obligations elsewhere that weekend. Have a great time!
