Awesome. No age restrictions at all...just have to be willing to have a good time.

You can go to TailoftheDragon.com and TailoftheDragon.org and see "calendars" of known car group dates.
Well, there's always a group of us that goes to the Dragon in July for Summertime Slayers. It's lots of fun. Of course there are more vacationers, but as long as you do early morning runs, there's still plenty of fun on the roads.

Last year I lucked out and my finals were over before the caravan headed out. I don't know about my finals schedule this semester, as class doesn't start till tomorrow, but I'm definitely up for a trip to the Dragon :D

RallyMini, I go to The Ohio State University in Columbus. Do you ever go to those Outmotoring breakfasts? My Mini is actually staying back home in TN this winter quarter to stay far away from the snow, salt, debris, etc.....So when does everyone have their spring breaks or available dates?

I will come! I will be going to MOTD '06 as well. I took a semester off because I burnt myself out really quick taking 18 credit hours, and 2 of the classes were honors classes! Any date is available for me. I better be able to get some rides, seeing as I dont own a MINI ! I will let you drive the Jetta though!

We need to focus on a date. If we do it after school, people would be completely done with school. And I would have hair on my head.

I want to get this together!

propose a date you think might work, and everyone can just give their input. I'm available all the time, as long as i have vacation time accrued.

Heres the schedule:
http://www.tailofthedragon.com/calendar.html

June looks booked, however there are a couple of days right at the end of the month. July looks free. I was hoping to do this early in the summer...

I think the last week in May might be a bit too early for some people. (maybe.) What about the last week of june?

That sounds good to me, I'll see if I can convince my local club to go down then too, might make it easier for all as there will be a younger crowd and fewer people

I'm not a college student, but a high school sophomore...

Anyway, I would love to come late june, so long as I can get a couple days off my job (assuming I find a job).

To clarify, my dad has the MINI, I just did the whole MINIac thing of convincing him to get it, I know 3 times as much about it and about cleaning it (every time I come home for vacation the wheels are pitch black :( but whatever.

Hope this comes through!
