This is true, but if you purchase a shirt now, you will NOT get it in time for the rally.

[rconn14]

Shirts and decals should be finished today and in my hands by tomorrow. Reg kits will be assembled on Saturday.

Thanks for the tip oldracer. Will look into it when I am finalizing route plans this weekend.

everything arrived today and the merch all looks amazing.

Reg kits will be assembled tomorrow and final registration lists will be emailed to those in charge of the routes.

Hope you guys are excited, because I'm bummed I can't make it. I bet it would be a blast to rip through those turns in my coupe.

Awesome! Send a message to username "katieee". They have apparently booked a room and are no longer coming and said it is up for grabs.

8 Days left to register for all of you slackers!

It didn't work out with Katie, friend of hers got it. Does anyone else have a room they're looking to share? As an incentive, I've got a lot of beer in my fridge waiting to be liberated

The master list I sent ya has each person's name, shirt size and where they're going to be joining up with the rally. That info will also be included on the labels that are on each of the registration kits. You should be good to go.

[Golf_kris]

I've got a room now, and an extra bed. So if anyone needs it let me know! Thanks, penny!

Don't worry, I'll hold onto yours when it gets here and we can work it out after the trip.

Hey guys be safe on the way down, I'm on the list but will be leaving Wednesday afternoonish. I'm going the same way except I'm going all the way to knoxville and then coming down into Fontana through the Dragon( extra fun when the car is loaded up) So I'll stay on the lookout for you guys. Construction, closures, etc...

I see you guys changed the route, good plan just be careful in VA don't give the troopers a reason, those guys ticket each other, ruthless...

Route should still be the same! Yeah we will be super careful in VA, it's gonna be brutal, hopefully the weather is nice so the windows can go down at least. See you there!

Tomorrow is gonna be one hell of a time crunch getting everything ready after work

[rconn14]

Also, I'm not sure who else has to come from farther north, but I've got one of ya crashing here tomorrow night already for a little extra rest and there is still room if anyone else needs to. Leaving at 1am sucks alot more than leaving at 4am, would rather everyone is as rested as can be.

I will be home from work at 4:30 and will be putting in dogbone inserts and cleaning my air filter and any other stupid last minute prep

[rconn14]

Also, if I have any time, I'm going to try and figure out that Google Latitude bologna so you guys can track us from my phone's location and see our progress in case we get caught up somewhere, or just to time when you meet us.

[rconn14]

I have added a point G to the map below (didn't bother in the original posting) approximately 60 miles before we arrive in Fontana Dam to fuel up so we can get right to it in the morning instead of running on empty. It is an Exxon and it is open until 10:00pm, so if traffic screws up our arrival time we will have to look elsewhere, but we can worry about that in a pinch.

Oh thought you guys were doing something different before. I'm going out into PA then coming down into VA.. No matter, see you guys down there.

I went ahead and updated the map on the site to reflect this, but the itinerary doesn't show the new stop. Ryan, if you want, email the info over to me and I'll get it added. If not, just make sure to let folks know that there will be that last stop. Just in case.

Have a good time, everybody.

[jrowny]

pretty excited, we're aiming to be at the Mt Jackson stop by 12:30PM tomorrow, just in case you are early or we run late.

Any other Point Es?

[Golf_kris]

I'll be meeting you guys at point F.

[VRptstyly]

I got in at around 8. The roads looked good, as guys are findin out.. Police presence was light but that might have been due to how early we were on the road..

[Jefnes3]

Lunch Time. We are at point F.

[Golf_kris]

Just filled up at exit 205 on 81S.

[big byrd]

Driving down 81 now, passed one trooper at mm 61.5 so far. Will try to keep this updated if I pass any more

[Golf_kris]

Leaving F now, I'll try to catch up at G

Attn everyone:

On behalf of Luis, Ryan, Kieran and myself, I would like to say thank you very much for everyone that came out to this event, spent the wknd with us, and drove hundreds, if not thousands, of miles to be on the Dragon!

We had an amazing turnout of people and cars for the inaugural LBR dragonRUN.

Pictures are being edited all of this week, and they should be up next week at the earliest.
Let me tell ya, Esther and I captured some amazing shots and everyone will be very pleased with the results.
Thanks for your patience and stay tuned.

Great turnout. Will definitely plan to do this again next year! I still have the decals on my car too, I've been partially too lazy and partially too nostalgic from the weekend to remove them

[jerd]

Yeah I really enjoyed our rally to and fro and the event exceeded my expectations!
Very happy I experienced all of this!

[nkgneto]

dragonRUN shirts still available for a LIMITED time. Get one before they're discontinued. http://t.co/r0atKG4A #storenvy

Alrighty boys and girls, finally got everything uploaded and set up the way I like it.
I'm sure you've wondered for a few weeks now where they are and what was going on with them , but wait no longer, so here we go!

On behalf of Esther and myself, we hope everyone enjoys the photos and that they are able to bring us back to that special event known as Wookies in the Woods in the magical place known as the Tail of the Dragon
