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

Thursday, April 22nd - First official day of the event. Many folks come early to get some great runs on the Dragon. WTD8 2010 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 23rd - Lots of Dragon driving and be sure to check out surrounding roads for a great time. More folks will arrive on this day. Plan to attend the gathering which will be held at Wildwood Grill. We'll have tables set up. Be sure to wear your lanyard and nametag to join in (this will serve as your MEAL pass for the event weekend). Lots of great times to be had.

Saturday, April 24th- 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 provided by Deal's Gap. Check out a variety of 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 banquet style dinner.

Sunday, April 25th- 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!

    Everyone gets to be "airgate" for the weekend. There's no extra charge for this service. I feel like it's my way of giving back to those in need.

    Does the shirt glow in the dark, or emit any type of radioactive isotopes?

    Testing on the effects of the shirt will be done in late April. We'll report any effects after that test is concluded.

    Also, the shirt color will be more like the green of the logo on Eventbrite...and not necessarily the glo-stick green above...
