Well its never too early to start setting something up like this, so I wanna know if we're going to have a decent turnout this year. I hope to be bringing atleast 3 other Tours/ETC's with me this year. I really liked staying at the cabins in Tellico Plains for many reasons, price ($35.00 a night), the cabins themselves are nice and the general closeness to the Cherahola Skyway   which for those of you who don't know, leads right into the Dragon! I'm thinking the end of Sept/beginning of Oct for going down there with a Thursday being the travel day, Friday going out there w/o as much traffic, Saturday outing again and Sunday being the travel day home, so who all is interested

I really really wanna come. Friday will be my travel day and hopefully I'll get there early enough to do something. I may or may not bring other vehicles. I may also go back Saturday after all the driving,etc. I won't have any money to spend, so I don't even know if I'll be able to make it yet, and I may also need to share a room with someone (but I may bring someone, so that's not a worry yet).

Roger, FWIW Petit Le Mans is the weekend of September 25 and four of last years Dragon runners will be there. Oh, and with the exception of the sulfer water, the cabins rock!
-- 1999 SVT #220 --
In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

You sound like Butthead from "Beavis and Butthead" saying "we're there dude", LOL!  Lets just hope this time you and Eric have tires w/ treads and hopefully Erics ride has some new rotors and pads too, just to be on the safe side 
Some asked where its at, well check this out Tail of the Dragon
This will answer all of your questions and then some You can also go to www.killboy.com and scroll into their archives (Oct 3-5, 2003) and you'll see my Striped SVT, Josh's black FSVT w/ the bad-ass CF hood and Eric's T-red SE sportin' those 40-series tires.
As far as distance goes, well, I drove 580 miles, but we had people from Georgia, Tenn and N.C show up to this and I hope we have a better showing from Michigan this year as I was the only one who made the trip  For me the trip was 10 1/2 hrs, no biggie because of the anticipation of whats waiting for you there on Route 129!
BigmoneyRacing: I think we can skip the weekend of Oct 25th if it means we'll have a better turnout

sept. 25th for PLM - not oct.
i'm also going to be out-of-pocket that last weekend in sept./1st weekend in october - my office is taking a trip to the beach, and i can't very well turn down a free vacation, now can i? 
how about the 2nd weekend in october - 10/8-10?
i'm definitely interested....would love to see how the G35c will handle the dragon as compared to the miata last fall.

The wife & I are definately in. I drove the Dragon last year - one week after you guys were there. It's a 14 hour drive for me to roll into my favorite motel in Sweetwater, TN, but the Dragon is well worth the annual effort!!!
If anybody is interested in accomodations other than the cabins, Best Western Sweetwater is just a 20 minute warm up drive from the south end of the Skyway, has free breakfast buffet (with everything), and an indoor pool and jacuzzi.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
