3rd Annual DragonBall Run Event

When: September 27th, 2003

Where: Starts from Alcoa, Tennessee (the Jameson Inn)

Scroll down for Itinerary


The "Dragon" is a public roadway known on a map as US-129. However, for many S2000 owners, the Dragon is an 11 mile rollercoaster. Filled with 318 curves in only 11 miles. The most fun you can have with our car on a very challenging roadway. The Dragon runs from the Tennessee side into North Carolina. For more information on the Dragon and other area roadways, please visit www.tailofthedragon.com

We will be listed on their calendar of events for the month of September. For those who want to truly experience how well our S2000's handle and perform, the Dragon is simply a must. Also, these events present an invaluable opportunity to meet other S2000 owners and enthusiasts. Check out mods and simply have one hell of a great time!

Yes, please do and indicate what size for your extra t-shirt.

T-shirts for this event are going to be GREAT! Expect higher quality with full screen print. Very nice indeed.
