Updated! EECMM 2011 - TAIL OF THE DRAGON - Read Inside!

I can drive the Dragon any time I want, it's a whole 35 minute drive from me. Lol. There are tons of other roads throughout East Tennessee (within 50 miles of the Dragon) that are just as fun as the Dragon and would be glad to show you anyone wanting to drive them. I just did a Dragon/Hellbender run this past weekend with SCF and it was a blast. Can't wait for this meet.

Hey...my car was actually in that second video, cool lol

I would love to attend, but I have school :( one of these years Im gonna be able to do the whole thing start to finish. Sounds pretty awesome.
I might be able to attend the car show, depending on how the car is running by then.
 
So excited too. Bringing my dad on this trip. He has already done the Dragon in his Mazda 3 sedan and loved it.
 
Anyone from Toronto?

I am coming all the way from Toronto ON, and would like to make this my first year of many to come down to the meet. My Protege is an ongoing project and meeting with others will help me make better part purchases. If anyone knows of anyone coming down from this way, that would be great.

Thanks
-Drew
 
Awesome Drew!!! What day are you coming down? I'm heading down very early Wed morning... 6/7am but you'll be driving right through my area (Detroit, Michigan)... If you wanted to head out Tuesday night, you could crash at my place and we could all head out in the morning.
