Thumbs up Who's Getting There Early?

Just wondering who's planning on getting to the Dragon early (either on Thursday or early enough on Friday) to get in a few runs.

My plan, at least right now, is to do half the drive Thursday and then the other half on Friday, which should get me there in time to do some runs on Friday.

Who wants to do dinner on Friday? If there are enough of us, maybe we could organize an unofficial pre-Dragon celebration!

Hey, Kim...

Don't know if I'll make it time for a run down and up, but hopefully we'll run up it on the way into Knoxville on Friday.

Dinner Friday, definitely.

Hi Kim, was planning to do the same. We can meet up in Daytona if you like. It was great to do the run in April, before everyone got there. Dinner for sure. Vic

PEACE and safe

As Mocky said..... the Ohio group (plus WestSideBilly) should be down in Knoxville around 1:00 on Friday..... (that is, if we don't make any sidetrips on the way down!)

Then off to the Dragon for some fun!!

Kimmie,

Definitely up for this. Doing that drive in 1 day was enjoyable, but a killer. We will talk on details. I can't wait to introduce my new suspension to the DRAGON! Of course still giving it the respect it deserve (just in case the DRAGON gods are listening).

I plan on doing another side trip, but my hope is to get started from Cinti earlier (we left at 9:30 last time), maybe around 7:30 (harsh, I know). Not sure if the Columbus guys will be keen on it. I'll look for a shorter route, too.

So, yeah, we'll be there early Kim. And where ever we go to dinner, you and your guests ( ) are at my table

Sounds good!

Maybe one of the locals can recommend a place to go that'll be able to accomodate a large group of us. DSR, Kronos - I know you're not from Knoxville, but do you know of any places we might want to hit up on Friday?
