Life after the Dragon
 

I went from 318 turns in 11 miles to 11 turns in 318 miles..... AND I HATE IT! Already want to go back, are there any plans for a Fall Run? If so I am down for it!

ask Traynam about the Blue Ridge Rotary rally (B3R) :)

88TurboII is correct! I host the Blue Ridge Rotary Run =]. Typically it is in October. My goal is to have it right when the leaves are in peak change.

The pace of B3R is probably more in tune with the Skyway drive that is done on Sunday of DGRR. Laid back and just cruise and enjoy the scenic landscape. But we will be taking a few access roads that are fun =]

I will start planning this year's and post details as I have them.

In the mean time, you can check out the not-so-updated website:

Blue Ridge Rotary Run '08

LOL hooked on crack!!!! 11+318= Dragon

I sign up for all the above!!!

*SIGH* I want to go back this weekend.

Do it!

Really should go there during the week if you can, Just about no police there, So your able to really hang it out more than your able too with all the traffic of the weelends, I like the tuesdays or wednesdays.

+1

I may check out the rx8 one this time around. And prob the blue ridge run. Also wanted to see if anyone wanted to do a run or incorporate pigeon forge into the place to stay. Just a thought. If so its best to make it when no other show or big shows are in town. The show that was the same weekend as the dgrr was just crazy. Too many ppl.

I'm actually thinking of going with my friends in september but it might conflict with sevenstock

I know it's apples&Oranges but i say this with much respect to any other Rotary event but, SevenStock You can't F**K with.

LAST YEARS photo from SS---- There is no end to the line of cars @ this event

I think we should take the whole DGRR attendees and caravan this year to sevenstock...wouldn't that be an adventure..

WOW, now that Idea I like!!!!:)

I'd be all over that like your hand was...... well....... we'll just leave it at that :rofl:

Count me in for that if work allows.

That would be awesome. Xcountry with the Rotorheads. Mike you should transport your car over here, just to drive out with all of us. :driving: Now that would be dedication.

We could get the media involved and have state police escort through the beginning and end of the states. This could be epic. Our own cannonball run... heheh

anyone who ever comes to the WNC area, let me know!!! You can crash at my place and I'll give you direction to various roads.

I live approx 1 1/2 hours from the Dragon itself.

Rotary Cannonball run!! i like it.. too bad most of us would break down halfway through

I think out of all the cars that drove long distances to DGRR, only 2 had troubles? One was a clogged fuel filter and was repaired after a few hours...

and the other one, i'm not sure what happened to him, last i heard the car was in North VA...

Shar (in FD) made it from Cali without problems and went to NY. AJ (in FB) came from TX, when to NY and only trouble has been pulled over by cops and throttle cable issues (which he was close to rotary friend, so it was easy fix)

Well, I'm thinking about organizing a track day here in ALabama..

Anyone interested?

^+1 :)

I would love to drive to 7Stock... But unfortunately, I don't have enough time to do so..

VERY interested

Because of the economy, there's a strong possibility it won't happen this year, or at least as it has been the previous years. Maybe only a 1 or 2 day event.

Depends on which track... oval/circle = boring.

when are there going to be some FLORIDA events?!?! lol

Now I have a washable 10 micron stainless steel filter element so I won't be having that problem again.

Shar did make it ok till he got to my place and nearly ripped his bumper off on my driveway. We changed the oil and he was on his way.

AJ did get hassled un-mercifully by cops. Really not cool what happened to him.

Edit - fuck it, not the time or the place. NM, sorry

I have a certain pic of a two certian people that may or may not need to be posted. :suspect:

That would be schweet, I'd be all over that. Being in Texas actually works out quite nice, last year I drove out to SS and this year was DGRR with an impromptu side journey up the East coast to NYC. I love it I tells ya, I loves it. :lol:

Police escorts, that would indeed be epic...untill they pulled me over for loud exhaust. :rofl:

Did you hear that Shar had some trouble with snow in Utah? Car spun in front of him and he lost it taking evasive action. Ended up stuck for over an hour before getting himself out while waiting on the tow truck.

I acutally fixed my throttle cable with a wire out of the harnes for my A/C. :lol:

Hellz yea, no more running around for hours trying to find a dang filter.

I got pulled over another time in OK around 2:30 in the morning for the same crap. I showed the officer my warning ticket from Ohio and he sent me on my way without any hassle.

Post it as is, with faces blurred or PM me... I wanna see that one. I could barely see the actual event through the tears of laughter.

NICE to see you over here AJ :icon_tup:

Pulled the little blonde chick over actually. I really don't get her. She gets pulled over for the stupidest shit and doesn't get out of it. I need to give her a lesson in how to talk to cops and get out of jail.... the people in our group know what I'm talking about.



No I didn't hear that. At least he's ok. Snow in April, wow.... actually, the biggest snow storm I've ever witnessed in CT was in April. It's cold enough. You Texas bopys ain't used to this real weather huh? :rofl:

Nive job on the repair :icon_tup:

That fucking thing pissed me off. Next trip I go on of any distance I'm going to bring one of those paper filters as a spare JUST IN CASE becuase they're like $12 as opposed to the $37 for my washable, and another sock, and a bunch of line. Basically learn from my lack of forethought. Although, who ever heard of a blatantly clogged fuel filter after 2,000 miles of driving? Something else is up, gonna drain my tank and clean it out. Actually, the new setup requires me to cut the top and enlarge it so I'll deal with it then.

WTF? You can't have long hair and not be hassled? Not Cool. I went through the same shit when I was in high school going through that rebellious fuck the world stage, I had hair down to my nipples. Got pulled over constantly and got tickets all the time. Lopped off the hair and have been fine free since....... interesting....... & got pulled over with an unregg'ed car and was let go, 52 in a 25, 85 in a 55, and one other bad one...... fucking profiling. You don't even drink and they're searching you for drugs :rofl:

:suspect:

I know and she's got two get out of jail free cards but it never seems to work. :dunno:

He lost it in Utah I believe, crazy how he went through snow both ways and had crap luck both times. Hell, it's like I said at your place. I'd rather it be 110* outside than under 60, I just can't do it lol.

If you recall, that night we spent lookin' for that damn wal mart I suggested teh fule filter but I think it was disguarded since we were dead set on the problem being the pump. Sounds like a plan though, maybe next time you'll get more than one damp run on the Dragon.

Apparently not. Awhile back I volunteered to be the DD when my friends went out drinking. We ended up getting pulled over for some stupid reason of which I don't recall by a state trooper. He asked if I had been drinking tonight and I told him no, I was the DD. He looked around at all the plastered people in the truck then made me get out and stand at the back of the truck. Officer Asshat asked me 2 times if I smoked pot before letting us go. :facepalm: Even when I'm obviously doing the right thing I get hassled.

That is great AJ!! Aww and there sharing a blanky and pillow. hehehe What time did you have to take that pic to catch Tray in bed with another man? :rofl:

Haha, it was harder tryin' to get a pic of him NOT in bed with another man. Tray's a lil hussie, lol. Mike came outta the closet that weekend too. :suspect:

AHhahahahahaha, actually I was referring to the sausage pic.... I forgot about those three :lol:

well...look at all the accusations being throw around in here about me!!!

great weekend of DGRR...and I do not engage in such activities if you come to B3R... (of course, i'm a little strange in the mornings anyway...) so please do not let the pictures discourage anyone from enjoying the mountains later this year!:rofl::rofl:

:rofl: I think Eggz has that pic, I never saw it.

lolololol

You're lying.

the other pics have been posted other places =P

so, back on topic now? mountain runs...everyone wants to do them...more than just once a year with DGRR...
