Or get one of Airport Honda's S2000s and take it for a test drive!

HELP
I just found out about this run and need additional information before I make a decision.
I know the dates and that it will be headquartered in Knoxville.
What hotel is it going to be in?
What plans have been made other than running the "DRAGON"?
Thanks
Joe

It will be modeled after this year's September DBRun, I imagine. We met up Friday between noon and 2pm at a local Honda dealer, checked into our hotel rooms, then drove to the Dragon for a couple runs, followed by dinner back in Knox and an evening of talking. Saturday was another trip to the Dragon, followed by lunch at Fontana Dam (after Airgate showed up with the food! ), then onto the Cherohala Skyway which is absolutely beautiful, back to Knox for dinner, then some wind-up type things (raffle etc), and talk. Sunday was open - some of the locals ran in/watched an auto-x event, those of us with a few more miles to travel left in the morning.

All in all, it was a blast!

Hotel is still up in the air as far as I know (Raul? What's the word?). We stayed at a Wyndham Garden hotel in September, which was decent but nothing great.

Hotel accomodations are in the works! We will be in Alcoa, Tennessee for this run and there are several available hotels! Should have something finalized after Christmas!

Cedric Tomkinson,
Go ahead and buy your plane ticket. Just found out my wife is with child and she will not be going with me to the Dragon. That frees-up a seat in my car and I was planning to video a good part of the run. We can switch back and forth driving and filming. Air travel rates are cheap right now.
