Twins on the Dragon Version 1.2
 
Will be having another weekend get together in Robbinsonville, North Carolina to tame the Dragon once again. Southeast 86 will be hosting. I will get back to everyone with a for sure date ASAP! Before I send the email to get us on the calender I want to make sure we have at least 20-25 86ers coming. So, with all that being said who wants to come?

Depending on when I'm DEFINITELY in.

Gunman 05-15-2013 12:39 PM

Depends when...I was looking at going June 15th.

Sgt.Beardface 05-15-2013 12:45 PM

Gimme a date and ill be there. May bring another couple friends. Won't be 86's but nice cars regardless.

Splat 05-15-2013 06:56 PM

Splat is in. Trying to pick a set of tires to get. Want to stay with stock rims ,keep cost down, but would like more grip.
I would think we could all some from the Knoxville crew to join in, seems to be several right there.

sonnydelight 05-15-2013 10:05 PM

L3P47 05-16-2013 09:47 AM

Do you have a hook-up for cheap rooms at Fontana?
I took that weekend off work as I was thinking about hitting the dragon. I'll be in an s2000, but close enough.

L3P47 05-16-2013 03:57 PM

I don't at this time. I'm still waiting to get an email back.

Deff post up and let me know. I was thinking of heading up there that weekend to grab a cold brew by the pool and hit some awesome roads. Went up last year around this time and it was epic.

Wonderbar 05-16-2013 09:10 PM

If it is after 10 August, I'll be able to make it. Moving to Bragg end of july.

Panda Grahams 05-16-2013 09:29 PM

I'm in. May bring a Z friend.

L3P47 05-18-2013 05:50 PM

Got some good news. Received an email this morning from the owners of tailofthedragon.com. Southeast 86 Twins on the Dragon is booked on their Calender for the first weekend in July. Killboy.com will be out taking pics and we are the only scheduled event for that weekend.

Ahernandez0909 05-18-2013 08:48 PM

Would you guys mind if I brought my friend with a 350z?

killerkid08 05-18-2013 09:20 PM

Imvdown for going as well. Probably bringing a s2k buddy of mine as well.

L3P47 05-18-2013 09:41 PM

The more the merrier

Xryn 05-23-2013 10:49 PM

I'm definitely going to try and make this!! I'll try and get the crew from Memphis to make it out along with me.

ViperASR 05-24-2013 09:26 AM

Any word on a Dragon Slayers discount at Fontana?

What else is a must see/do when you are up there? Last time I was there I was only there for two days, so I just hit the Dragon all day, with basically no time for anything else.

The calendar says July 5-7, what is the agenda? Since it is 3 day, perhaps something can be arranged with the East TN SCCA group.

Also be aware, the tail will likely be packed with tourists that weekend.

acollite 05-24-2013 09:44 AM

there is cherohala skyway , foot hills parkway , us 129 to blood mtn is a very nice day trip
lots of smaller roads in the area without the traffic of the dragon

A schedule is being worked on currently by our Tech Advisor. There may be tourist, but we are the only group on the calendar for that weekend.

Gunman 05-24-2013 05:03 PM

What benefit is there to being on the calendar (ie organized group), vs. just showing up one day to drive the dragon?

Archetype 05-28-2013 07:03 AM

If I see one person driving over the line then I will post mean things and tell your parents!!

jstans84 05-30-2013 11:51 PM

Lucky me I got that entire weekend off of work.

I'm glad we're all on the same page.

A second trip to the Dragon.... Might have to look at my schedule.

Splat 06-06-2013 12:12 PM

I don't think I will have my innovative super charger by then. I did get tires at least!

naikaidriver 06-06-2013 01:13 PM

Count me if for this as well. I will have a chat with some of the newer 86 owners here in Huntsville to see if they are down.

The benefit is that we'd all be there together as a group of 86's.

HooverFish 06-07-2013 06:19 AM

I'm actually from Waynesville and still have family down there and grew up fishing at Fontana Dam. I'm taking delivery on my FR-S today and wouldn't mind making a weekend of things since i'll be off all that weekend from work. I'll keep an eye on this for now.

I meant more about being on the calendar, than being as a group.

There is no actual tangible benefit aside from maybe some parking area or organizational benefits at that location. The tail itself is public road. There is no requirement to "register" to drive it or otherwise.

You might not have it by the 2014 Twins on the Dragon event. :D

Rockstar Lifestyle 06-07-2013 06:44 PM

I'm in for this. I've been wanting to make a trip out there for awhile and, now, what better reason. :D

Hopefully I'll have wheels, tires and suspension by then.

mrjester 06-25-2013 08:32 AM

Has a schedule been put together for this yet?

mrjester 06-27-2013 08:47 AM

Bump. Only a couple of weeks away. What is the plan?

OP, is this still happening?
