Any of you guys up for meeting sometime this summer in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. we could eat lunch, go drive The Dragon then come back and cruise the Gatlinburg Strip. maybe we could even get a Chalet and go back and party at it.

[Jen]

I'm down..

[Chrobis]

not to be a dick or anything, but just because your meet is big and stuff, and an anual meet dosnt mean it's not a meet. And, while the rest of us post our meets in the meet forum, maybe yall should too

[Redline_Racer]

yeh I know I should have, but more people look here haha, how do I move it?

[Jen]

Get one of the mods to do it.

[Mynzeyes]

done.

and i'm down for this. whee.

[EC_Knightrider]

Depending on where my job may relocate me to, But I believe this year needs to be more organized and as far as driving to the dragon that same day.....not really what i want to do. But i believe with the right attitude this time and some careful planning, it would be as good as the 2nd meet we had!

[Redline_Racer]

June 24-26 is good for me too. I talked to my buddies dad and he said that he can get us a really good deal on hotel rooms at the Mariot(sp) I just need a rough estimate of how many are wanting/going to attend.

-Brandon

[InitialD93]

i am going... and ill have at least one other person with me but no more than 4 so basically i need a room with 2 beds

[dstrbcelica]

my birthday is on teh 26th. i'm out..sorry john.

-dstrb

[Mike431635]

I may be up around Tracy City, TN when you have this meet so once I know when it is, I'll plan on coming if possible.

[Mynzeyes]

well, me and jen are in...she'll fly up, and we'll ride together in my car, from my place.

so there's a room w/ 1 bed... .

[Redline_Racer]

So far its add to this list if you are wanting to attend, I need a definate number to see what we can get the rooms for. I believe this is everyone, if you plan on attendeing and your name isn't on here just copy the list and add yourself.

Redline_Racer
John/Jen (1 room, 1 bed)
InitialD93 (1 room, 2 bed)

Bryan

[Redline_Racer]

It would be awesome to have you there Brian, you can park the honda a couple blocks away and walk to to the meet, haha j/k.

-Brandon

[playr158]

[EC_Knightrider]

If you guys get this together, i may be able to bring a couple of other cars with me......

laterz

EC now in GA

[Jen]

*bump* let's start to organize this..

[koan]

I really wan't to go. I missed last year b/c of bad planning, so someone please make a schedule. btw I dont need a room, I live 30 min away.

[Jen]

COME ON GUYS. SUMMER IS GETTING CLOSE!

[2003cbgts]

what is the dragon u guys keep talkin about.. and i would most likely be down for comin to this also.

[EC_Knightrider]

dragon= long ass curvy road out in the mountain that has 300+ cures in 11 miles.

I loved the cabin idea from 2 years ago, got to know the everybody well, just cruisn and riding around GB.

So,

Is it going to go down?

[koan]

Is the dragon 300+ curves? I thought it was 270 something.

[gt2nv]

i am going to be there about the 15th of june throught the 20th or so

[Cragspider]

The dragon is a strech US129 as it runs from the Tn to the NC side over the mountains. It has 318 curves in 11 miles. It is the windest strech of road in the US. I draws people from all over to make the trip to ride/drive it. Once you have been bitten by the dragon you will understand what it is all about. It is worth the trip to make it out there. I go at least every other month or I did till I move where its 1200 miles for me to go. But do make it out there if you live within a good distance of it.
Bryan

[aaronc222]

I might be able to make it. The only reason I didn't make it last year is because of a nasty wreck that totalled the Celica a week before the meet.
If I do come I'd be bringing my new baby, an 87 Supra targa top turbo.

[dizzybridge]

sounds good to me. i'm game.

[ArizonaRed]

I can poss be there, 24-26 jun?

[SlowCelica94]

looks like 24th is what most people wanna do. Get a date set and maybe I'll hurry up and get my nitrous done in time for it.

[90CelicaST]

So any updates guys? I've been following this around for a few weeks, and recently thought about going.

[Jen]

I'll definitely be there. Just tell me a date so I can take those days off work.

[dustin15brown]

set somethin final and i'll try to go, depends on m basketball schedule

[darksecret]

I haven't paid attention to this but i'm setting something up like this for August 19-21 I was making a meet for the Dragon and it's the only availible weekend for the next couple of months.

[90CelicaST]

Well good luck. Im a no-go. School starts back at the begining of August.

[koan]

Obviously nobody wants to be in charge, so let me make a suggestion. Its too much trouble to get people to commit to going. Stuff happens, people drop, nothing wrong with that, but it makes it too hard for someone to reserve rooms, or a cabin. So, the simplest thing is for everyone to find their own lodging, or get together w/one or two other people, instead of one person trying to find lodging for everyone. There has been the most reaction to June 24-26, so lets say everyone drives up Friday 24 and finds a place to stay, and Sat morning we all just meet up at a predetermined place and time. Anyone more than say 30 min late gets left. The simplest way is usually the best. I can still make this date, is anyone else still interested?

[dizzybridge]

what's the estimated time you're lookin at for sat. morning? i'll drive down from home but i don't have the funds for staying over or anything. i'd like to meet up, get some good pictures, and then take a drive up the mountains and maybe get some more cool pics all together at overlooks or somethin...just throwing some ideas down.

[koan]

I was thinking like 10:00AM. I don't know where we would meet just yet. Redline racer knows the area better than I do. I was hoping he would have a suggestion.

Come on. Everybody let me know what you think. who else can go?

[SlowCelica94]

June 24th is only a lil over a weeks notice. You need to push this back by a month, I'd say.Then people will actually show. Also, try to reserve an area.

[koan]

Alot of people start going back to school in August, so the latest we could probably do this is July 15-17 or 22-24. I don't really have time to plan an event like this. I was just trying to step in and make sure something happend. If there is to be hotel reservations for everybody and a reserved place to meet, then someone is going to have to step up and help me out. Also, EVERYONE who would like to attend needs to reply by the end of this week to let know how many are coming and which weekend they con be here.

[dizzybridge]

i say you don't worry bout everybody's hotels and stuff. if they wanna stay that should be up to them. it'll be pretty difficult to reserve rooms for alot of people then somebody would be screwed when people didn't show and stuff. i say we just meet and see what happens then if anybody's interested in stayin they can go from there.

[darksecret]

It will be hard to go to the dragon then, both of those weekends are packed.

BTW i've got an associate whose nephew owns a hotel in Maggie Valley, if people made reservations now it's 50 bucks per room, 2-4 people per room.

[Jen]

Bleh, I can't go. I will be working that weekend plus my car won't be done.

[koan]

Every weekend in the summer is packed up at the dragon. As much as I want to go there it is best to do it on a weekday. Besides we can't be sure of the weather. If its raining there is no way I'm going to Deals Gap.

[koan]

Also, we need more interest. Right now it doesn't even seem worth bothering with.

[dizzybridge]

is the dragon necessary? i was still thinkin pigeon forge would be just a nice place to have a 'meet.' not that i don't wanna drive it, but if it's such a hassle we could all just hang out and stuff and maybe cruise the strip on a friday or saturday night and go do something in gatlinburg.

[koan]

I agree. the dragon is fun, but too much of a hassle

[dizzybridge]

so is anybody up for like just meetin up down there somewhere on the 25th or maybe the july 2nd. or the next couple of weeks. anyone even remotely interested give us some feedback or some suggestions on what you'd like to happen.

[dizzybridge]

guess not

[koan]

Looks like this isn't gonna happen. Next year it'll have to be planned by April or May.

[celi_gt_racer]

im in for late july... people shouldnt have to go back to school untill august... so why dont we set a precise time and place for sometime in late july... i missed the meet last year... i gotta go to one this year.. and by then.. my car will be outta the shop... YAYYY

[koan]

Okay. How about July 29,30,31. We'll meet at like 10:00 AM on saturday. Give me time to think of a good meeting place. Right now I'm thinking Walmart. Should be easy enough to find. Our biggest problem now is that this has become somewhat of a dead thread. It's going to be difficult to get anyone to read this and commit to going. So, to anyone who reads this please let us know if you can go, and if you know of anyone who might want to go, please have them read this thread.
