So yeah, what he said whole heartedly. And I'm going to direct copy/paste the post from rx8web because without images it's kinda bleh. And I know when I first when over to the dark side I had the hardest time seeing the images, so here is the post in full (courtesy of whitey [jackson])

As all of you have noticed, most all excitement for the Brotherhood of the Dragon comes right before the meet and the few weeks to follow it........ but in an effort to bring some mid-year excitement to the event, I figured I'd post a few Dragon/Skyway pictures taken by a fellow rotary enthusiast.....Mr. Darryl Cannon of Killboy.com (I recently found that he owns a 3rd gen RX-7).

I'm also going to make a list of all who plan on attending this year. (nothing
formal, just a list so that we can look forward to seeing old friends). So if you think you'll be able to make it just say so in your post and I'll update the list when I can.

Enjoy the pictures!!!

A few skyway pics......











The COLD COLD water that we just love to raft down......





The Great Smoky Mountains......





Some BEAUTIFUL pictures of the Dragon...... (some you may have seen before....especially if you have ever bought from Killboy.com)














.......and lastly, a pretty good example of what it's like to go through the Dragon......





If these don't make you want to attend then I don't know what will.

So is anyone else as anxious as I am?

weak... we need more peeps on the verge of coming. I'm spamming my sig as much as I can on a daily basis until I get bored of Rx8club, then I'm off to read WoW blogs... because I have that kind of time.

Is there any racing or drifting involved? That looks like a good spot to do it!

surprisingly enough it's not nessacery, just driving the road on the regular is enough. You have to remember that there will most of the time be people coming the other way, so that's a recipe for suicide. However, we do take the road pretty much as fast as we can, and it's amazing.

Yeah I figured as much. I spent too much money to mess around and end up in a ditch or off the side of a mountain! When are you coming home marvin?

I should be home in time enough to take a shower, pack, and get on the road to the dragon this year. That's the hope.

Glad to hear it -- I'll be a 'newb' this year -- my club is trying to get everyone to come down (or at least a good portion of us!) I'm so excited can hardly stand it!!!!!! Come on September!!!!!!!! Have already contacted lodging, keep checking daily for registration blah blah... so I guess that actually makes me pathetically excited???
