After contacting Adam about leading the effort again, he said that it didn't look good. So 1DERBOX, suggested we put it out and see how many are interested in doing it anyway. It has always been the first weekend in August. This is a weekend of getting together and cruising the "Tail of the Dragon", between Tn. and N.C. Usually photo shoots at Fontana Dam, and on other end by the river. Let us know what you think.

 

I'm planning on going again this year, but after installing the 5 speed, lsd and ksports, I won't be "cruising" :D

 

I know my 1st Gen box handled the Dragon quit well. Haven't taken the 2nd Gen yet.

 

I'm interested. Let me know exactly when it is so I can plan for it.

 

So far we have about 6 boxes interested. As soon as we can nail down a date I will post it.

 

I will be in that area around that time. Will join ya'll if it matches up with my vacation dates.

 

Now looking at 8, possibly 9 boxes. First weekend in August. Some are looking to stay at Fontana Resort at campground or cabins. Others are looking to stay at area motels. Killjoy is playing with video this year. Wonder how that would turn out. Whole herd of boxes.

 

Dang, I wish I could make this! I've run The Dragon twice on an '86 Suzuki Katana with a GSXR block in my young and foolish roadracing days. I'm on the wrong end of TN and typically at the Brickyard400 that weekend but, since I've not outgrown foolish completely and fun never, I'll keep that opportunity in mind for my new Box obsession.

Anybody that likes twisties, this is your quintessential wet dream run.

 

I am interested in going! I was just there last weekend w/ CelicaTech.com and had a blast. More info please!!

 

We usuall all meet up at the restaurant at Fontana Village Friday evening for a meet and greet. Eat dinner and discuss activities for the weekend. Some make a Dragon run that evening. Last year 1DERBOX, Eric and I had our underbody lights going which attracted locals and of course the kids. Saturday had group photos at Fontana Dam. Stopped at Deels Gap Store and met couple other box owners. Cruised the dragon and had couple more photo shoots down by the water. Most of us went on the Ghost Tour that night.

 

Interest continues to grow. Hope to see those who desire to come have a try at the Tail of the Dragon, on August 3-5. Several of us will be staying at the Tuskeegee Motel. Rooms are plain, but clean and cheap. Hope to see you all there.

 

The countdown continues. Hope to see you all there.

 

dang, the first weekend in august my wife and I will be moving into a new place. Oh well, I'll definitely be going down when I get my new wheels (with 265's all around) :D:D:D

 

Only two more weeks to go. What do you think of this as a giveaway. Not an artist, just trying to think of something special. 1st Gen XB. Still trying to perfect a panel for 2nd Gen.

 

We just figured out the dates, and it looks like I will be in the area the Wed/Thurs...Friday we head back up North. Sorry that I will miss the drive with you all.

 

Which you could have met up with us. I think most everyone is coming in Friday afternoon. Usuall have meet and greet Friday night at Fontana Village.

 

Hope everyone enjoys the drive. Show the Acura and mazda folks how it's done. They were all over the place on wed and thurs.

 

I was planning on coming but they switched my schedule at work and I work this weekend. Sorry. Hope you guys have fun!!

 

We had a blast. Went across the Dragon Friday. Twice Saturday, Even went across the Parkway to Townsend and back, then again Sunday. Had my camcorder looking through windshield at the others. Def need to play with cam more. Video was OK but not great. Law enforcement was out as usual, so we had to behave ourselves. But the 1st and 2nd gen box's do handle well. First trip in my 2nd gen. Thanks to all who came. Those of you who didn't, missed out on the fun. Congratulations to Neil for winning the Box the Dragon underhood panel. I also handed out chrome Dragons to everyone to put on their cars. Deb handed out some cool dogtags with Dragons on them and Russ gave away some cool XB toys that I havent seen before. Eric had some cool 2012 Dragon decals for us as well. And Neil and Adam did great work on the awsome shirts. Now to plan for BITS.

 

Wow, I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I had the weekends wrong. I'm glad that you guys had a good time. Sorry I didn't make it.
