Default To all Dragon attendees past and present (and future)

For the past 12 years or so, I have put together the twice yearly Tail of the Dragon events at Deal's Gap.There have been many people who have come to every event in all those years. A lot of those people gave their time (and sometimes their money) to make sure that every Dragon event was fun for the newbies and the other attendees, who led drives, who were part of the 200 car attendance as well as the 20 car attendance.

It's now time for me to move on and let someone else have all the fun (and the headaches and the concerns). This year 2022, is my last year of Dragon organizing. It's time to turn it over to someone else, someone who hasn't experienced the lows but the extreme highs that come with seeing old friends and lots of potential new friends at Fontana Village Resort and the fun that's shared so freely. John G (vortamock) and Tim V. (SkyladyZ) will be in complete charge after Dragon Fall Run 2022. I'll still be around but as an attendee, not organizer. Please welcome them with the same warmth and friendship you have extended to me over the last years. I know the Dragon will be in good hands.

Well I hope this doesn't go to your head but thanks for everything you have done for all of us. We certainly know that dealing with some of us is like herding cats.

Thanks for everything!
