BTW, for the Atlanta folks: they also moved the venue BACK to where it was last year. There was a big to do about where it was last year compared to real civic center, so they were scheduled to have it AT the real civic center this year........WELL, not anymore....
son of a *****!!! I cannot believe that they moved it to that weekend. what are the freaking odds of that????

I can't believe another "tuner show" scheduling conflict like last year! Is it worth rescheduling the Dragon drive?

No, we'll only lose a couple of folks to the show. The spring Dragon weekend was a major pain to pick, and all the other weekends are pretty much taken by other (large) events in the surrounding months..

I'll let Hameed know. He's setting up the east coast meet website and probably touched some of the shared code

So far we've got sixteen cars and 28 people attending!

I'd also like to let folks know we have a special guest Bitkahuna who is flying into Charlotte and riding with us for the meet! It's a bit too far to drive from his new home in FL!

If you are on the fence, go ahead and get your hotel now and sign up. You can always cancel the hotel, but you'll be SOL if they run out of rooms.

aha, NOW it makes more sense, thanks for the heads up! Jeff had hs GT3 in her booth at HIN. That's cool, maybe she can bring some Desmond stuff for giveaways

Unfortunately the Dragon and HIN ATL are the same weekend this year and it's nealry impossible to do both (and have your car show-ready). I'm just going to do the Dragon and not HIN ATL. I *AM* going to do the DUB show in Charlotte in late summer, but you'll need to pick up some aftermarket wheels for that one as a requirement.

We had the date all picked (HIN ATL was later in summer) arrangements made with hotel, food, on calendars, etc and HIN changed their date because of a conflict with a Dub show. They seem to stalk us because they did the same thing last year.

Personally, I like the dragon better. Much more laid back, a smaller group and an awesome drive.

Thanks again Dave, I'm psyched! Folks - if you've not been this is the BEST piece of public road you can drive on if you like twisty handling.
