The SVT Cobra club will be around the Dragon that weekend. Ya'll show 'em how it's done will 'ya??

Unfortunately, we will be in ATL for something very unexciting so will probably not be around (maybe back by Sunday)

It's something they call Snakes and Dragons. And yes you should probably be even more careful than you were on Miata weekend because I think these guys are even slower

28 is NO kool-down road if you're riding shotgun with Ryephile in MM2!!!! OMG! I will NOT mention the speeds he attained...you may PM me for details! 28 is an AWESOME road! Runs along the Tennessee River...so pretty, so twisty, and yes...there ARE a few straightaways!

:smile:Ah.....the Dragon in the autumn.....sounds so sweet! And I will be there! :smile:

The Mustang Cobra club will be there? Doh. I had a '93 Cobra once upon a time. It did great burnouts, but even with Steeda suspension tweaks it still handled like total crap. I fear QueenB is right, they'll be even slower (or, dare I say; Way Slower!) than the Miatas

Anyway, I still look forward to seeing the fall colors and hanging out. Oh yea, The Dragon is fun too :smile:

Well... we've got six people & five MINIs staying at the motorcycle cabin. It sounds like a couple more AtlantaMINIs will be staying at the Fontana.

:smile: For those of you lodging at Fontana Village, be sure to go to their website. They are offering 50% off the third night, if you stay for 3 nights (offered through the end of 2004)! However, if you are a member of the Dragon Slayer Club, you get 25% off Lodge rooms. They don't combine the deals. The Dragon Slayer Club deal is the best. And when you check in, please leave word "For MINI Friends" with the front desk which room/cabin y'all have snagged.:smile:

You fill out the membership form at the front desk at Fontana Village. They will mail you your card about a month later. Funny thing is the card is only good for a year Jan to Dec, so you have to keep going there every year if you want to stay in the discount club.

They also give discounts to car clubs on the spot. If we have enough people show up you may get a nice % off your room.
