Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southeast Fall Dragon Run 05' cabin/hotel info

It sucked that we (me, zach and adam in the 300zx, gmk, and gulfcat) didn't get to meet up with roger and jim. We saw ya'll on the skyway as we were headed toward tellico plains.

I saw one CSVT, it was tropic green. I talked to the guy and he looks on here occasionally but is not a member. He had an intake and resistor mod. I think he said he's from Knoxville. He and his wife were just passing through.

I had fun. Only bad thing happened during the whole trip for me was my spark plugs got fouled (I run a bit rich). And we had to bleed adam's brakes, but that wasn't a big deal.

Yeah, I was burnin' all over the mountains with Roger & his Crossfire. Nice car really, and Roger is definately quite the car enthusiast. I was bummed we didn't meet up with more CEGers, but we kinda just 'went' with no real plan for meeting up. We'll fix that next year, I hope.

We did get to meet up with Eric & Michelle at the dam overlook. It was great to see the newlyweds again, but I really wish we had more time to spend socializing. I'd like to see the Dragon Run participants plan one spot for lunch/dinner next time 'round so we can actually look like a group & meet more people.

We had lots of fun talking to Rogers dad as Roger went lurking over with the other cars in the area. Seeing that many NSXs in one place really had him going! Roger & Roger, it was great to meet both of you.

The whole thing has got me looking forward to next year & I already have plans for spending more time up there. There's lots more to see than just the Dragon & Skyway. The falls run was a real adventure & I was so involved in everything that I got very few pictures. No callendar for me this year.

It was nice meeting Jim and his wife, nice people, real people I thought we passed our group, but why didn't you guys turn around when you saw us, we stopped at the next stop and waited a good long while Either way, we had another GREAT time running the Dragon, especially this year because I ran it an extra day! A meeting spot next year is a MUST I think what we need to do is set this run up even earlier, like in the spring. This way the "ball gets rollin'" earlier. I even hope to get atleast ONE SE MI CEG-er to make the trip other than myself. NO wait, I AM GOING TO GET ATLEAST ONE SE MI CEG-ER to make it. I'm sure Hec"tour" is going to make it, no doubt about it! As far as the pics go, well I took about 150 and then weeded that down to about 120, but they're not loading into clubphoto right now, so I sent them an email. I wanna post these pics because I took alot of cool "non car photos". When I do post them, they'll be over in pics and video ASAP Once again, thanks to Jim and his wife for making the FIFTEEN HOUR drive to the Dragon, makes my nine hour drive look like a trip to the store , pure enthusists IMO!

Well we didn't know ya'll were gonna stop, or we wouldda. We were headed to tellico plains for beer and then back to run the dragon. There's always next time.

I will be there in 06....you can count on it.....probably with a new car.

I just realized I got atleast 32mpg on the way from Robbinsville back to Albany. That was with some spirited driving as well, especially anytime the 300zx passed anyone, I had to give it hell to keep up. And my escort can get into 5th gear at around 42mph, so you can imagine what it's revving at when I'm cruising at 75-80mph. I didn't think it got that good of gas mileage. Maybe the computer was pulling some fuel since it was running rich, I'm not sure.

hey....i was there, just not in my car what day did you see the green csvt? i was there saturday and only saw a silver one. it was good to see all the awesome cars up there though maybe next time i'll go in my car, might not be the tour though!!! she'll probably be dead by then

I went for a drive up the dragon at about 10am sunday morning while everyone was sleeping at the hotel. I saw it as I was running the dragon. I went through, turned around and went back down and he was parked at the bridge by tapoco (spelling?) lodge. What time of the day were you there saturday? I think we got out on the dragon around 2pm. Did you see a redish escort gt, red 300zx (umm yeah there were more than one, that doesn't help), and two cougars?

[censored] you guys! Gosh. Stop talking about having such a good time! Tellico Plains sucks.
