Thats right, myself and 4 other owers from the smokey mountain group meet up today and made some runs on the dragon. Couldn't of asked for a better day to do this on. Tops down all day, engines reving to 9k all day, tires and brakes making all the right noises, and playing tag with the local cops. I took some vids of the runs on the dragon and the foothills parkway. katoline took some pics and those should be up soon. The vid will be up later on in the week when I can get it edited and hosted.

Man....I wish I could have run down there. Makes me sad to have missed it.

I see you are from Murfreesboro....I drove down there from Indiana a couple of years ago to meet up with some people from an import car club.....we all gathered at a hotel, drank beer, and then went to a club where COPS was filming!! WOO-HOO!! They all thought I was nuts for driving from the northern part of Indiana, all the way there, just to drink beer and hang out. Oh well....

EEEEXXcelent meet... I absolutely loved the kumho mx's i just put on the car as they performed fantabulously.. It was good meeting all the newcomers as well.. Too bad Jason cracked a rotor on a run the night before... otherwise there could have been some great schooling going down.

Wish the rest of you could have made it to union jacks... my head still hurts

I had a great time. New rotor shows up Wednesday. Who ready for another run?

Jason depending on what I end up doing for Spring Break I might be heading out to the mountains with my roomate and take his parents RV out to cades cove. So I will be out there a lot. But I will let you know if we do go out that way.
