We need to cruise the Tail of the Dragon - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Moshpit37 · 07-29-2012, 02:44 AM

I'm just throwing this out there. We need to organize a big meet-up/cruise in western Tennessee, with emphasis on the Tail of the Dragon. I keep hearing about how awesome it is, and looking at the maps and pictures all I can do is drool.

I live in Arkansas, so I can't just go there on a whim, but it would be less than a full day's drive for me if we were to plan a weekend for it. If we could get some locals to the area to look into this, maybe check on hotel group rates and whatnot, I could see this becoming a big event.

Great idea. It could be a yearly autumnal gathering.

If I recall correctly, I think the 8th Gen Civic folks do their annual Tail of the Dragon drives in the same season. I'd hate to intrude over their weekend - unless they'd be willing to organize a combined event, possibly to score lower rates on nearby lodging.

I would so be in on this if we made it happen!

I go every year with 8-10 guys from my old MazdaSpeed forum, looking to go in October. I've already invited a few guys from here so let's do it!

Yeah, the Mini club does their annual meet there, too. I'm in!

The southeast region of nasioc does a dragon trip every year - I'm sure the BRZ crowd would be welcome. We used to do that meet every year in the SVX. It is scheduled for September 7-9 this year. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2327784

edit: oops. didnt' see your post above, Matt.

Be careful up there, keep your heads.

Lots of other roads I greatly prefer (basically pick any of them near there) but deals gap is worth doing at least once in your life. After a couple times I got bored of it and moved on to more relaxing, less repetitive roads.

I would definitely be interested! I was planning on driving up there on my own anyway. Going with a group would make it even better.

Good! I hope you are doing well. One of these days we'll make it back to the dragon. We'll just have to bring the kids along with us and hope the ride doesn't make them puke!
