Default Tail of the Dragon (April) - Small Group Cruise

On April 19th-20th, we (various makes of GTs) will be cruising through the famous Tail of the Dragon.
  • Day 1 A pure driving joy, starting from Pigeon Forge and ending in Englewood.
  • Day 2 Starting from Englewood to the stunning Whitewater Falls, finishing off in the lively city of Asheville, NC.
We're keeping this cozy with just 10 GTs, and we already have handful of spots confirmed. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll share all the exciting details with you! 🚗💨

Did it last October.

REally fun with the light front end on the 2.0


Windows open........ Love the turbo whine against the Ragazzon exhaust on the P300 !

Nice! I’m so pumped. I got 5 people confirmed so far.

Who takes the pro pics while you are driving? I’ve heard some people take it and sell it but how do you get in touch?

There are several photographers who will take pics of ALL the cars as they go by. Killboy.com, US 129 Photos.com, 129 Slayer.com, and others. They all post 'proof' watermarked pics each day of the passers-by.

Try not to 'pose' near the corner marked Radar Curve, for obvious reasons...


+++++++++++++

Contact the 129 HUB at the north end. Several organizations lead groups from there.

Won’t be able to join unfortunately but will be there the beginning of June. Did 2 trips last year on my bike. Endless riding through the mountains in that area.



Enjoy

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for expressing your interest in joining us at ToD is approaching. Friday 2/23 is the last day to let me know if you'll be able to make it. We already have five cars signed up, including the Jag F-type R, BMW M8-C, Vet Z06, McLaren 12c and Lotus Exige. So if you're interested in joining the fun, please let us know before it's too late. Thank you!

Please note: You will be responsible for paying for your own transportation, lodging, and meals. However, I will do my best to secure a group rate for us.
