QUICK ITINERARY

(Complete *detailed* itinerary will be emailed to you prior to the event - you are encouraged to PRINT and BRING with you to the event)

Friday, April 15th - Lots of Dragon driving and be sure to check out surrounding roads for a great time. Many folks will arrive on this day (many arrive earlier). Plan to attend the gathering which will be held at the Ballfield. We'll have tables set up. You'll need to pick up your registration packet which will include your event t-shirt and event credentials. Be sure to wear your lanyard and nametag to join in (this will serve as your MEAL pass for the event weekend). Lots of great times to be had. We'll also have a "First Timer's Orientation" and "Dragon Buddy" ridealong on Saturday morning. Check the final itinerary for exact time and meeting location. If this is your first Dragon event, we encourage you to join in and meet some other first timers and learn tips on driving your S2000 on the Dragon.

Saturday, April 16th - The official "DAY" of the event. We'll roll out from Fontana as a large S2000 group - great for video lovers and those wanting great pics of all the S2000s. Dragon driving...and lots of it is on the agenda. Lunch will be provided by Deal's Gap. Check out a variety of Group Drives (these will be organized drives on various roads surrounding the Dragon). If you choose not to do any of the drives, you are welcome to continue driving the Dragon, explore the area on your own or go back to relax at Fontana. Dinner will be served at the Fontana Resort. We'll enjoy a banquet style dinner with a recap of our event and likely a presentation to follow.

Sunday, April 17th - Say goodbye to fellow S2000 enthusiasts. Some folks will be driving the Dragon (I know, we're crazy people), but the majority will be leaving on this day.

Count me in +1

 

Boy.....if I only had a nickle for every time I've heard this ......

*...are you related to Spectacle?

Now, I am not one to split up happy forms of marriage, but................with or without Jen, you need to be there. If you start sending this message now (that you are going without her.....), it will only initiate the importance and reason of why you should own this car. The very intention of you going without her will facilitate the the most extreme desire to make sure sure that she gets the time off, even if she has to lie, cheat or steal (or, all three) to be there with you.

Now, that being said................with the inertia that would be implemented on her part to accompany her better half (the car) as well as her husband ( ), I can only promise you you had better be on your best physical condition. The Lord knows that the car will deliver beyond it's expectations. You on the other hand, had better start training now to deliver upon the expectations of why she wanted to atend this event with you. Otherwise, next year, it'll be you that has to start wondering if "you" can get the time off.
