QUICK ITINERARY
(Complete DETAILED itinerary will be emailed to you prior to the event)

Thursday, April 23rd - First official day of the event. Many folks come early to get some great runs on the Dragon. WTD7 Staff will be arriving on this day and available for any questions, etc. Not a whole lot is organized on this day, so plan on lunch and dinner to be on your own. Lots of choices on Fontana's property or nearby in Robbinsville.

Friday, April 24th - Lots of Dragon driving and be sure to check out surrounding roads for a great time. More folks will arrive on this day. Friday afternoon will be the 2nd annual WTD Poker Run. Plan to attend the dinner which will be held at the Ball Park on Fontana. We'll have tables and tents set up. Be sure to wear your lanyard and nametag to join in (this will serve as your lunch/dinner pass for the event weekend). Lots of great times to be had. We'll also have our 3rd Beer Swap/Wine Tasting and Cigar Swap!

Saturday, April 25th - The official "DAY" of the event. We'll roll out from Fontana as a large S2000 group - great for video lovers and those wanting great pics of all the S2000s. Dragon driving...and lots of it is on the agenda. Lunch will be at Deal's Gap (again, wear your lanyard/nametag). After lunch we'll have a GROUP PHOTO of the people and then folks can choose their Group Drives (these will be organized drives on various roads surrounding the Dragon). If you choose not to do any of the drives, you are welcome to continue driving the Dragon, explore the area on your own or go back to relax at Fontana. Dinner will be served at the Fontana Resort. We'll enjoy a buffet style dinner and end the night with raffle prizes from various sponsors.

Sunday, April 26th - Say goodbye to fellow S2000 enthusiasts. Some folks will be driving the Dragon (I know, we're crazy people), but the majority will be leaving on this day.

We look forward to seeing you on the Dragon!

I would like to know as to who all is in charge of the WTD and/or DBR events.

Please PM me as I think I know who is but want to make sure.

I have some concerns as to what could happen to an event coordinator personal.
