Default 4th Annual Tail of the Dragon Event

For anyone who might be interested, open to anyone in North America to attend. We are excited to announce our 4th Annual Tail of the Dragon Event. More details can be found below. This is already shaping up to be our biggest and best event yet. Lodge rooms at the venue are selling out quickly and we've already confirmed sponsorships from Unique Auto Development, AUTOart, Sprint Booster and working on many more. There will be raffles, swag, lots of driving and good time had by all.

I went there on a motorcycle adventure about 20 years ago. If I honest, I enjoyed the Cherohala Skyway more, but it's some beautiful country out there.

Being based out of Tapoco this year, we should definitely be able to do a few tail runs then caravan over through Cherahola to a restaurant right off the river.

I’ve done the Dragon on a big V-Twin. This would the first time for me in a car. This would definitely be fun and I need to see if I can get away for some exciting driving.

Great to hear! I've heard there may be a raffle for some goodies this year too! Last year there were goodie bags with VAP hats and shirts, some odds and ends from O'reilly and an F-type Diecast model. I believe one of the winners got a set of porterfield brakepads too, if i'm not mistaken. @skizot is great at organizing our sponsors, couldn't do it without him!

Yes! Unique Auto Developments is signed up as our title sponsor this year. They’ve even posted this to their own Social Media pages as well. We also have confirmation from AUTOart and working on a number of other arrangements at the moment. Stay tuned! (No pun intended)

I've driven the Dragon in my (former) Superformance 65 Cobra. A ton of fun. I'm going to try and make it.

I just registered and added an event to the Jaguar F-Type Owners of North Carolina Facebook page with a link to the registration website. Looking forward to it!

We've continued to update the details in the events page. As this event is being updated from multiple sources, including the forums, we'd ask everyone to please make sure they've signed up to attend as we will be emailing updates out to everyone, versus having to post updates across multiple social media outlets. With that said, there are still 6 rooms left at the lodge and we've arranged a 10% off group discount for anyone staying on property. Check in will be inside the lounge starting at 10:30am. All future updates will not be posted here, so please check both the FaceBook Events Page and here for future updates.
