Default Getting ready for the Dragon!

One thing that happened at Asheville Days, was that when we were leaving the Honda dealer to head to the Dragon, a number of cars needed to stop and get gas!

Please fill up prior to getting to the meeting point! Just makes life a lot easier!

I know the day during Asheville Days that we ran the Dragon, I used up a full tank of gas. That included getting to Asheville on vapors!

If anyone else has any tips, please post them.

Words from the wise. . .

Yes, also remember that a clean S2000 has up to 33% more power and 61% more cornering ability!

In other words. . .don't forget the Zaino!

Also, the Motorola Talkabout 2 way radios. . .a big plus!

Can't really think of too much more right now. . .it's going to be great! WOW! 5 days to go! It makes me do this ------------>

Mack should try to work in gas stops (or at least reminders) onto the agenda.

Hey guys-

Got your PM's will respond this evening.......promise!!

As for gas......there is a station at the end of the Dragon so if everyone starts with a full tank we should be fine and we can top off there if we need it. I'll note that in the adgenda.

And to get gas for Saturdays drives Friday evening.

One of the craziest things was coming back from teh Asheville Days Saturday drive, and seeing about 50 S2000's getting off at one exit. 33% came down the ramp and went into the gas station across the street, 33% to the gas station to the right, and 34% went back to the hotel. It was commical as heck seeing that!
