Whether you come to our run or not, I will come out there, just gotta wait for the summer heat wave to blow over, can't do anything in this heat, just smears and makes a mess, thanks for keeping me in mind for your detailing needs and when I come out there, I'll need to do both cars to make it worth while though, is that ok? I also might need to crash at your place overnight and could I do one car on Sunday and the other one on Monday? The reason I ask is because I work Tue-Sat and have Sun and Mon off, let me know.

90 days to go guys!
 
Well, the time is getting closer, and I am thinking about joining in again this year. I just booked a couple nights at my vacation club resort in Gatlinburg (last time I stayed at my vacation club resort in Pigeon Forge) just in case since it seems like really slim pickings this time around. I still need to try to get at least 1 more night somewhere for Saturday night, but I may choose something closer to Knoxville to get a lower rate and on the way home. I also was fine picking Gatlinburg since SVOFANATIC was looking to stay there as well.

Roger, I see you are planning to leave in the wee hours of the morning to head down.... is that on Wednesday morning or Thursday morning?

Finally, I saw this on the Tail of the Dragon Facebook page a couple days ago....

Now this is a good reason to plan a trip !! Park the bike or car for the day and enjoy some micro brews all within walking distance of your room or cabin at Fontana Village. Details: http://www.fontanavillage.com/events/pdfs/Hoptoberfest071612.pdf

Bob, this is GREAT news for sure! Our large group will be leaving the Chicagoland area in the wee hours of Thursday morning, like 2:30 sharp, we've got 6 cars coming down from this area, you'd be 7, then there's Eathen from the Grand Rapids area as well as Dan with the 3000 GT VR4 from Kentucky, so our group could be as large as 9, WOW! Now as far as where to stay Saturday night goes, well, you could crash on someone's floor that night, its only $10.00 a night to do this, its a new place so we wanna respect what he told us about extra people in the room.

84 more days to go!

Honestly I may just crash on someone's floor if I'm allowed. No ones really seemed interested in my gatlinburg idea.

That sucks, would it be just you coming out then? I need to know how many extra people we end up having on the floor and go from there, there seems to be a bit more than I first thought doing this. I know this, you guys looking to do this better have an air mattress, I slept on the floor down there before and no more! Now SVO, do you know for sure that your coming and staying with us? If so, what nights would you be staying? Once I know that your in for sure and what nights, I'll add you to our "master list" over on xceedspeed.
 
I may actually get to make this trip this year. been a member for a hell of a long, was just never in the situation to make it all these years. If I can get this 3L together and reliably running, Ill definitely try to make this journey for some much needed vacation.
 
Let us know Chris and good luck with the car, you've got a wealth of knowledge here in the CEG to tap into if need be.

When you and SVO know that your going for sure, please let me know and I'll add you to the master list over on xceedspeed, thanks!
 
hmm, what could I possibly be doing with these. :D
