That last one looks like my car. I can barely tell anymore, what with MINI overload going on.

Heh - if you saw a PW/Black sitting on the side (with a guy taking a picture at the pulloff), then it is you! :smile:

Yup, I got grabbed to stuff registration bags on Thursday. Actually I got there mid day Wed and took a few runs at the Dragon then. Wanted to get a head start :smile:

I stayed over to Monday too. Met a gal from my area club who grew up down there (thanks Melanie) and got a grand tour of all the coolest waterfalls, granite climbing etc. Had a great last day!

I was a little embarassed to see my car over the line in one of the Killboy shots I found. Then again, it seems I was in a very large company,

As long as your not crossing lines where you can't see traffic coming in the other direction it really shouldn't be a problem. Crossing lines around a blind corner would just be utterly stupid.

I think its an awesome shot, i can't wait till september so i can try it out!

Someone took a photo of me at the dam wearing my long MINI factory overcoat. If you took the photo, or have seen it someone, please let me know. Thanks!

I have a photo from '04 "Wake the Dragon" but not as good. Too shakey and too few cars.


Attached is the fun with camera photo from '05:

I believe that was rafthos. But it might have been rafthos wife, not sure. The Element participated in the Double Cross touring rally in the pack mule class.

Great...we (the South Eastern Element Owners Club) are looking to make a run at the Dragon next month and it would be nice if there was someone there with experiance there other than me.

I will have to look rafthos up.

Thanks for the help.

Both Alabama groups are planning on a Dragon run In October too. I believe the weekend of the 15-16. I know I have been ready for the fall Dragon run since may.:smile: But I did go by myself in July.

I know a few people who I will be meeting with in October. We always get up for the changing of the leaves. It's a wonderful time of the year to be there.

That's great.....We are scheduled for the weekend of the 8th.....I am really looking forward to it and wanted to make sure that the Element driver on your board knew it was planned.

Anyone that wants to go on the weekend of the 8th, the more the merrier is my opinion....and what a better fit for the Elements is a bunch of little Mini's mixed in. Sort of like satellites orbiting the mother ships
