How can we ever get tired of talking about the Dragon?!? It is my favorite meet! And yes, I know there are a few Dragon threads in the Mid-A but let's get excited again

A certain Mid-Aer and I were conversing on the phone about getting his car ready by March, and I mentioned that he should save his new set of Advans for the Dragon - to which he said "Is it really that great?". I proceeded to inform him of how awesome it is, but he thinks I'm ing him, so Dragon Slayers - what would you say about it?

 

I think the Dragon is in April this year... Which is a great thing, cause my butt is going to be in the British Virgin Islands in March... Time for me to get home and get ready for the DRAGON...

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE AT WTD '05?

 

What's the link to the main thread and what's the total cost.. just to sum it up for us lazy people.

 

i got a couple of qestions...

1. how far (in hours roughly) is northern va from the dragon ...
2. is the hotel included in the registration price? or will i have to call the hotel and book my own reservations?
3. if i have to book my own reservations will there be a discount for all s2ki people down there for the dragon?
4. how much is registration?
5. when does the registration start?

 

There isn't a price set on registration yet nor is there a date indicating when it will start.....I also heard a rumor that the current dates may change.

Registration only gets you what GOGOGO posted above - it doesn't include your hotel room.

There typically is a discount at the hotel for S2Ki people, and you will need to book your own reservation. Even if there is a nicer hotel, trust me, it will be much more fun to stay at the same hotel as everyone else

Northern Virginia is roughly the same distance as I am because I have to drive North West about 200 miles. Mapquest puts the trip at 9 hours. On the trip down ACLR8 and I logged about 6 and half hours + 1 hour for food and gas stops + about an hour of sitting in traffic due to a huge pile up (we were hauling ass when we were going)! On the return trip we had a few run-ins with the law and a few detours which put us at 14 hours total

 

Use Alcoa as your destination on randmcnally or mapquest.

But don't speed at the bottom of VA!!!

 

sounds good.. ohhh one more question.. what happens if it ??? will it be canceled? or do we still just all go?? hehe

 

We won't mention the forbidden "r" word.

 

yeah i know.. but i wouldn't like to drive 9 hours and then can't do anything... that would be a bummer....

 

The meet is not just about the road. The people are what make these events so memorable.
