What's up guys. Were gonna have a big meet up at the Dragon/Gap whatever you wanna call it.

The dates of the meet will be April 20th-22nd.

If you have never been on this road and you come to this meet, you will always want to come back. Ive already been one time and I loved it.

If you dont know anything about it, it's got 318 turns in 11 miles. Yea thats fun as crap.

Please dont act stupid or anything to get into trouble. Id love to see all these 240's up there, I just dont want to see anybody get hurt, or there 240.

Keep checking in with this thread, I will be up dating with more info. I'll post everything you need to know, Meeting places, dates, times, EVERYTHING.

Here is a good sight with pics of cars/motorcycles on the dragon

And yes, I will be there with the s14 so be prepared for the stockness.

Tell everybody you know, I want this one of the biggest meets.http://www.club240.com/forums/images/smilies/wavey.gif


We hve a huge thread on nico (4 or 5 pages) (stickied in 240 gen) So there's a ton going from there. I also have it on club240 and freshalloy. So there's a couple more. Ill get more info when it gets time. If sombody would post this on zilvia that would be great, I got banned so I cant


Tenn - NC border. It crosses over somewhere along the way. With this large of a meet expect a bunch of fucking speed traps. Go to the TotD's website (dunno it off the top of my head but google it). They have detailed map of the tail and the 2 different sections along with altitude changes, lodging, places to eat, and common areas the police will setup speed traps with.

It is very much a public road and unless you plan on being nice and driving the speed limit for the scenary (which hopefully we all do), I'd be expecting people to be getting tickets. Also bring atleast a set of brake pads, if you plan on pressing it sometimes, on a 2-3 trip up there you can make a ton of passes and should be long enough for some good times even when not driving. We have to get a photographer for this. Also bewarned last summer season locals were putting gravel out on sharp corners to prevent "spirited driving" amongst enthusiasts and motorcyclists, be safe and don't drive like a dumbass or else you could easily end of in an embankment, tree, or worse at the bottom over a very long hill.




April = college spring break, you can get time off work, everything is slow :) You guys have no excuses lol. Actually it sounds like fun just to meet new people from the SE and mid east region. Fun to grab some food and just hang out with people for a couple days when we are not driving. If its as big as it's allegedly going to be this should be sweet.

You'll have a little bit of company that weekend... looks there are 4 car clubs on the calendar: A Miata club, a Porsche club, a rotary club, and a Mazda club.

I expect that will mean heavy traffic, and probably more law enforcement in the area.
