Thumbs up 5th Annual Tail of the Dragon 2006 - Memorial Day Weekend May 27th

Block your calendars and make plans to come if you can.

This post will be updated after I speak with Hameed about resetting / updating the www.lexusdragon.com website for signups and with dates.

I've spoken with Sue at the Microtel and blocked all of their remaing rooms (about a dozen of them).

Noice. It's been a few years since I went. Might bring the Vette to play if I can get away this year.

Cool. Each year I have tried to make this event, but it typically interferred with a road race (Road Atlanta is May 22-23 this year ) or a Vette event; however, this year it looks like a go for me! If you bring yours, we can have two Vettes there.

I'm giddy just thinking about it... beautiful scenery, beautiful cars and gearheads everywhere.

I'm in! I'll work on the family plan / kitchen pass as soon as I get back home.

Looks like I'll be in the "Safety Group" due to my worse than stock driving skills.

What will you be rockin' this year Mike? It's hard to picture you in the ES tarin' up the Dragon.

I'll have to see if I can make it down there this year.

When we go down with our riding group, we usually stay at teh 'Tel.

Are you getting a group rate at the Microtel? Any Canucks want to go down? I'm 80% in!

Since our date this year is on a holiday, they can't give us the group rate they normally do. Extra $5 - $10 is OK with me.

Hehe, $10 will not be a dealbreaker for me. Most of my expenses will be in setting up my car and driving 1000 miles to the event.

Okay, I've blocked off those dates (plus some). I look forward to meeting up with the lot of you!
