1st Annual Dragons' Tail Meet

Well, I am recooperating from a great day. Great to meet everybody! I didn't get many pics but I did take a ton of video. Here's a picture of Jim's Bordeaux Red Elise. Awesome color!!!

Anyone with pics, reviews, or complaints about my driving :D please post it here. By the way, I care to gamble that I am the first Elise owner in the USA to have cow crap spread all down both sides of his car! Sorry, no pics of that but I promise, it smelled aweful when I washed it off.

It was a great day, and yes Dan had cow crap all down the side of his Elise! All I can say about that road is WOW! Fantastic! Three Elises, one Elan M100 and a lot of fun. Every where we stopped a crowd showed up to take pictures and look at the cars.

The Dragon should be in the spring and the fall like we do with the S2000 group. I'm all over going up there. I'll be there in a month with my S2000. Hopefully again in the spring with my reordered Elise. :(

BEST TIME EVER! U GOTTA DO THIS DRIVE!

Just back, long day for me, 650 miles started 0630 and got in at 2200. Had an absolute blast, I'll upload pics tomorrow too.

Had a great time meeting Bryan(HIghlander) and his posse from SC - they had an S2k, a mini S, and a Miata, all very tasty cars. Dan of course with his Storm Ti, Jim with BRP and me with red, and Michael and Eddy in an m100.

Amazingly all the meetups went rather smoothly, I drove up to Jims house from Columbus, we R/Vd with Dan and Michael outside of Blairsville, amazingly Michael (who'd gone to pick up his girlfriend at the Atlanta airport) arrived only five minutes after we hit the Blairsville Chevron. Dan followed soon after with his just completed vid cam, installation (FYI Randy, picked up my cell phone from Dan too ;) )

For the 2nd annual event next year, I hope to do it out of Hiawassee as our Ducati club does every year, come in on a Friday, drive around on Friday, then Sat. have a structure route to follow which will comprise about 8 hours of driving, back to the hotel, and a dinner at the restaurant across the street.

First time I've done Deals' on four wheels (always been on bikes before) Amazing just how forgiving the elise is, in view of me surviving some pretty bonehead moves on my part. Deals is great at teaching just how capable this car is on the twisties.

The cars were a hit at the Gap and everywhere else we went.

Is that one on the far right BRP? I may have to change my color again.
