Gina and I will be doing the Dragon this year with her JCW... Are only MINIs allowed or can a lowly Porsche make the run too? Anyone know?

 

The Tail of the Dragon is a public road, and as such, any street-legal vehicle is permitted to drive on it, at any time.

If the police wouldn't stop you for driving the vehicle, then nobody else will!

The point of MINIs on the Dragon is to have one very large unified gathering there per year. There will of course still be other cars there during that time, in addition to plenty of motorcyles, as it is a very popular road with that community too.

The difference compared to any other time of the year is that we will be effectively "dominating" the traffic, as the sheer number of MINIs present will be overwhelming!

 

I gotta be there early...I have spaghetti to cook!

 

Does anyone who's interested in the Rally go to Tate on Saturday?

 

I wanted to bring this thread back since we are talking about this very subject on another thread.

 

Ok, I just read through this thread again and I think this is pretty much what was brought up in it.

We have a few Annual events:

• MINIs By the Bay
• Backroads and Battlefields
• 4th of July parades
• (2) mmatarella cook-outs

I liked the cherry picking run that we had last year. I would like to see more track/Auto-X events because it seems that is what is missing.

As for other events:

• A drive-in movie idea
• more events for the VA members
• more participation from other clubs (hint hint Maxi )
• Perhaps a Halloween Run up to Philly that I tried to get interest in
• Winter events that don't deal with MINIs because of the weather
• Perhaps a Pumpkin picking run
• Over night runs?

There are some that I could think of off hand.

 

I have started a 2008 thread !

 

Where? I don't see it.

 

There are tons of wonderful ideas about the events in this thread.

Also, please feel free to add you fantastic and creative ideas about the event that you would like to see on the new Event ideas: 2008 Thread.

Thank you in advance.

 

Wow ! You're too fast ! I had started it but had not posted it, got side tracked for like a minute or two !

 

Since there is a new thread for the upcoming 2008 year, I am closing this thread.
