Thumbs up What I gotta do to convince ya'll to come down to drive THE DRAGON in September?

We went last September and are looking to make it an annual event. We had about 15 ClubLexus members and would love more.

DaveGS4 and co really want a big turnout, what would make it really worth your while to come down?

Sick, all you have to do is persuade my wife to let me go, and I'll be there.. Also make sure you specify that there will be no females at the event....

*****, can't promise that J/K

From speaking to DaveGS4, we are trying to make it a Clublexus/family event too.
The Dragon is so awesome, I cannot explain it.

If it will be Clublexus/family event I will be there without any further convincing. I have two boys 6 and 4 who are more into cars than I am. I managed to talk my wife into agreeing to come out to your last meet in Maggie Valley, but we left it till too late and could not get passports in time to come.

Will definitely come, even if it is not a Family thing - will bring the family anyway!!

Nice drives, nice hotel, good food - the simple things! I would combine it with a vacation and will probably end up staying for a week.

Where can I find out more about the Dragon? I tried searching on Dragon in google, but that did not come up with anything useful.

Hameed,

No problems bringing the family . The only issue you may run into is that the Dragon (and other roads we'll be on) is the most aggressive, curvy road I've ever been on. If anyone in your car, especially the back seat, is remotely prone to car sickness you will be scrubbing leather for the weekend. You can bring up the rear and drive very slow if you like, but it will still be quite a roller coaster for your passengers.

I'll try to put up some video if I can ever get it converted from last year's run so you know what to expect.

Once you figure out if you're coming, we can help you do some planning on making it a broader vacation in the area if you like (via PM)!

MrSypher,

It would be awesome if you came down...Especially in the RX.

But we know that's not gonna be your choice. Oh, well just another GS that I'll have to show up.
