SC Tail of the dragon

Hey I was wondering if there were some people who wanted to meet up and cruise for a day or two. I know we have Brotherhood of the dragon but I planned on heading up there in the next few weeks. I have a friend who drives an s2000 that wants to go so it is not limited to 8s. Let me know if anyone is interested!

I still haven't heard any results to see how fast they went but SCCA had an organized Hillclimb last weekend. the road was closed and they "chased the tail" Sounded like a great event on a great road!

And here is a video that is pretty awesome! no speed limit all out in a porsche.

I'm usually down for a run up to the Dragon, as I'm an hour away. Sadly, my e30 is out of commission at present...perhaps it will be up and running by the time you're ready to go. Whenever you do go, STAY IN YOUR LANE! Nothing will generate comtempt from the locals more quickly.

That Hillclimb event was cool, although it wasn't on the "Dragon" itself. Here's a few pics from the pits:
