Its that time to start up the official thread for the new National Meet! The 1st Annual Mitsubishi's Take On the Dragon Meet is fast approaching. Gameplan for the weekend will surround the trip to the Tail of The Dragon US HWY 129. For those who haven't heard about this road, it is one of the biggest car enthusiast roads in the country. In an 11 mile stretch, this hwy contains 318 turns. Its every car nuts dream.

What better place to meet new friends, see old friends, enjoy the scenery all around and get out and actually enjoy the road.
There will be a thread starting January 1st, 2010 for lodging. Current plans are as follows:
Anyone that wants to stay in a cabin in Gatlinburg, TN will need to place a 50 dollar deposit by the end of January to Special_K. This 50 dollar deposit will ensure your stay at the cabin rental. This 50 dollar deposit will also go towards your overall rental fee for the cabin. Based upon past experiences the cabin rental should cost between 80-130 dollars for the entire weekend per person. That’s 3 nights of lodging for 25-40 bucks a night per person. What a deal when you account for renting a full cabin with a pool table, video arcade, hot tube, full kitchen and scenic views. Stay tuned for the official lodging thread.
The only thing that is planned for this meet is the Rally over to Tail of the Dragon and spending time over there. The rest of the time can be spent in a infinite amount of ways. There are plenty of things to do in the area like:
Hiking
Horseback Riding
Site Seeing downtown Gatlinburg
Eating Out downtown
Go-karts
Putt-Putt
DollyWood
Driving other roads
Chillen at the Cabin
Sleeping
Fishing
The possibilities are endless.
