Nope, no problem then. It has been a problem in the past that people have wanted to participate in events without paying such as the dinners, beer swaps, organized drives, poker runs, the "Monster Rollout", etc.... and one guy even wanted an event tee shirt.

No one can stop you from running the dragon at the same time as us. It is a public road, after all. Although, I can promise you that you are doing yourself quite the injustice by not paying to join us for the organized events. Anyone can go up there and run the dragon at any time, but the reason that we all come out is for the people. You'll be missing quite the experience.

Unhappy

registered me and jessica will be attending.!.!.!.!.!.!

there are limited amounts of rooms available at the event pricing, this is what the woman at fontana said, they gave me a really great rate on a single king, the pool looks amazing, there is the option to camp out, theres cabins, and all sorts of great stuff, Never been, but me and my fiance are really excited to meet everyone and enjoy the time away from the hustle and busle. cant wait to see yall there

BTW is there any estemate as to how manyu dbr9 s2ks there will be in one place? I know the ion solstace clubb had around 200-250 cars, are we in that area or more? I hope theres a million.

My car will definately be up and going by then!

Been there ONCE at WTD '07, and still remember nearly everything on that run. Good memories last you forever.

Can't make it to DBR '09. My assistant manager marked the vacation calendar way back in April for 3 weeks in Sept. I in turn have to stay and babysit half of the employees.

Have fun, be safe!

Registered.


mrmatt1122: DBR is traditionally a smaller event compared to WTD. WTD usually has a couple hundred cars compared to DBR which traditionally has less than 100...Both events are unique in nature though and I recommend people to attend both to fully enjoy the "dragon experience"

See you there..

I have a trial set in the fall, but I have a settlement conference scheduled for next week. If it settles, then I hope to be in. Of course, I have to persuade "She who must be Obeyed" to let me go. This could be an especially tough job considering that summer vacation this year was in Italy and Greece.

Oh, Raul, I have decided what coffee I would like at Fontana Village. Instead of my usual Starbuck's Pike Peak, could you swing Lavazza Qualita Rossa? I had it in Venice. I am a little concerned because I don't think that you can get it in the States, but you can address my concern by ordering it on the Interweb.

Thanks for addressing my concerns. You know how I get concerned when a concern is unaddressed.

You'll be thrilled...and your concerns put to rest...that we'll have no DBR sponsored coffee. Enjoy Maxwell House drip from Fontana's Wildwood Grill.
