NASIOC/WRXAtlanta Spring Dragon Event!

Would love to go! Count me in!

 

nicad, kakies, ballistic and myself are going this weekend...we'll update with the conditions

 

I think I'll make it for the Saturday drive only. Short drive for me in Asheville

 

I would be interested in going.

 

What am I?

 

you're just a single 'I' :rofl:

i don't know who all's going up, looks like we get to party down again, good sir

 

Good one. And yes much parting will take place.

 

the problem with going on these dates is that THP will be out in full force by then. there will be very little "fun" to be had on the roads

 

Troof.

 

Man I want to do this so bad, but like crazyazn said...might not be the right timing for me LOL

 

huh? re-read...he's saying the time is now right

 

The Dragon is overrated. The meet is a blast but the Dragon itself...meh. There are plenty of other roads around and nearby that are way funner.

 

I would be interested. I would need someone to stay with and I have to see what my budget looks like in late March.

 

Read....
Cabin List:

2pt5RS is looking for people to "Room" with.

 

I read that.

 

How was the split for the cabin last time, Matt?

Right now it looks promising that I could go and I would have the 2011 STI sedan to play with up there.

 

Maybe. I'll think about it.

 

I might be in for this though I doubt Ill stay in a cabin. Last time I was there there was TSP all over the dragon and I got pulled over by Blount County but they let me go with a warning. But like whats been said, the dragon is alright but the Cherohala Skyway and Hwy 28 are right there, are just as good if not better, and tend to have less people on them.

 

Just stay in NC and you won't have any issues.

 

Hmmm, round two?? Could be fun. And we do owe Brett another go, since he was out of town this past weekend :]

 

if we hadn't just gone, and i could get off/afford it again, i'd be your roomate

 

ssh:

 

i dunno, ours was pretty chill this past weekend. most of the drama llama's have (thankfully) moved out of state or no longer attend the meets

 

What. Drama at a Dragon run?
How in the world can that happen...

 

Do you know where it is? Have you ever been to it?

 

Troof. Good times were had.

 

Yeah. It's in Tennessee. But I've never been. I'd like to, but I probably won't get a chance to.
My work/school schedule is pretty much set in stone.

 

part TN, part NC. You'll stay on the NC side if you go overnight. US-129

 

Geography lesson of the day for you Peter

Forgot about it cutting into NC. Thanks, guys.

 

some faggot teetotaler with orange wheels and an evo had a stick up his ass

edit: and an ugly girlfriend, only compounding the issue

 

Do they shut down the TN side at night? If so when did that start?

 

They were doing that while they cleared a land slide on the TN side. They are not doing that now. During the day it might as well be shut down as the TNHP and Sheriffs will be all over the place.

 

negative, we didn't see a single one, and we made 3 runs and had a group take the skyway home. It's not quite season time yet.

Even with cops, as long as you drive within normal limits, don't cross the 2x yellow and don't act like a general asshat, they don't much mess with you. They know why you're up there...

 

You are right. They have not showed up yet. They will be out in force by the time we head up at the end of April.

I don't plan to drive the Dragon. Too much risk of coasting over the limit down hill and getting a ticket.

 

thats exactly what happened to me. right at the end going north where the big pull off is a Blount County motorcycle cop walked out into the middle of the road and pulled me over for 50 in a 30 and I was just coasting down the hill. He said I was lucky to get a warning because "TSP doesn't give warnings."

 

yeah they do...and if it's your first ticket in TN, it's only like $20 or something, they have some first time offenders rule. I know somebody pulled over just outside the north end who was going for gas, brakes were actually smoking when he stopped...TSP laughed, wrote him the ticket, he mailed in the $20 and we all had a laugh

 

was it in a Honda Fit?

 

heard about that. Heard it was something stupid like 77/45. lucky guy


EDIT: We all laughed when dontcallitarex said honda fits handled better than stock wrx's but I think he was actually right

 

get rid of that whistle of an exhaust, it sounds like a rolling black queef with squalling tires

 

i lol'd
