Dragon '09

Hey everyone,

Missed last years event, and just wanted to know if there were any plans for a Lexus run to the Dragon in '09. I'll pm Dave to see. Thanks in advance.

Jeremy and I have been talking about it and from the looks of it, we're probably deciding on Memorial Day weekend which is May 25th. We're working out the driving route right now as both Jeremy and I have found that there are other roads that provide a great time for anyone of us.

Alexus - are you familiar with The Snake? It's in about the same general area (TN, Rte. 421) - but one mile and 100+ more curves longer...

I'm not familiar with this area. Could you provide me with a general idea of where it is.

If you check out mapquest.com - Mountain City, TN - it's Rte 421 just west of Mountain City.

I haven't done the Snake - but I recently found Interstate I-40 from Knoxville, TN to Asheville NC - and loved it. Lots of curves, two tunnels and the Smokey Mountains. Two lanes in each direction - and trucks must stay in the right lane. One of my rally buddies felt I'd like the Snake, as I don't care for the Dragon's Tail. (I guess I like life too much.) As you know, the Dragon's Tail, is one lane in each direction and trucks anywhere they can fit...
