Track usage?  Tracks?

Never mind, I clicked on the link and now I understand.  That could be a lot of fun.

For Saturday afternoon one of the things I would like to suggest the Tail of the Dragon, and perhaps a cookout?

The cook out we had at Hershey a few years ago STILL is one of my ALL TIME favorite Corvette Memories...and I have been in this hobby for over 20 years with lots of memories...

As far as this boy is concerned a cook out is mandantory... ! even if we have to stage it behind a Mickey Dees...

I will be in PF the entire week ... if anyone is getting into town  early
it would be nice to set up something so we early birds could plan a few early bird elbow bending sessions

We definitely need a mountain drive tour up through the Smokies. There are some killer twistys in the area.

Any locals around for reccomendations???

Dave

My G/F and I were thinking about spending some time at Dollywood. She Loves rides and I do also after I finish getting sick. A cookout sounds great along with the go carts.

______________

Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Bob & Dennis - I second that "Cook Out!" Sounds GREAT for talking & meeting others!

Now Dave, I don't know about them there "Twisty's"! Is your wife driving them in the C4?

Mick...

Yep, she's driving them in her C4, but you'd best not be right behind her. Her personal speed limit is 45..... which is pretty hot for most of those roads, but she is not as big into G-forces and tire smoke as I am.

Heard about this registry site this past weekend at a Tampa Bay Vettes Cruise and a member of this forum told me about this event.   I work in Knoxville during the week and have made several trips thru the "twisties".  One nice tour is from Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg, then the scenic pleasure cruise thru the park to Townsend.  From Townsend we head to the Foothills Pkwy which leads to the Tail of the Dragon.

Ron,

Welcome to the finest online (and offline) Corvette site.... always glad to see another Tennessean join the ranks. We gonna have a big time in Pidgeon Forge!!!!!

The Deals Gap and Tail of the Dragon tour sounds like "The Bomb". I drove them last time I was in the area over 20 years ago in a 944 and it was a great run. Just forgot the official name.

With my logistics of working in TN and living in FL I have to plan events.  I am working on being in TN for this one and hopefully I have enough head start!

I estimate the entire Pigeon Forge to Tail of the Dragon and back to be a "three hour tour".

Of course, we all know what happened to Gilligan and the skipper.....

45? Well, maybe I shouldn't laugh cuz I've never been on that run before!

Ron,

Three hours is PURRRRFECT..

Take note Mr. Adam.... sounds like a plan...

Micki,

As I recall the longest straight is about 200 yards between hairpins..... 45 is pretty hot....

Dave

No trip to the smokies is complete without a criuse through Cades Cove.Gods country if there ever was one!!!Beautiful,quite.Lots of wildlife including bears!!!One way in so no oncomming traffic.

From early morning to noon is good with us.   My lady and I after lunch will take a trip to the Dragon and should be done in 4 hours max.   Getting back in time for dinner and the track session at 8pm.

If anyone is interested in traveling to the Dagon with us after lunch is Very Welcome.

Put me down for the Dragon and for the cookout.  Both sound like a lot of fun!

So what about Friday?  Any thoughts/plans for that day?

  If I recall, there was some suggestion about the "Stampede" get together, has that been considered? To me , that sounds like a hoot. Is it still in the running for the event?

Jim

Check out this site.

The dragon was made for sharks.

I'm in for the Dragon on Saturday afternoon. Just need enough time after that run to "clean the drawers" before the evening's activities.

How about doing the Dixie Stampede on Thursday evening? Nothing is scheduled for that night.
tricer38834.5335763889

Sounds like fun to me.
Anyone else going to be in PF Thursday evening lQQking for a fun dinner/evening?

______________

We'll be there for sure. This thing's still up in the air, but I guarantee it's gonna be a ball all weekend....

Sign up for the karts too....

Dave

Carts are a blast.  Haven't been on those since I was 18.....maybe all should clear the track while I'm out there!

So Mick,  when you were 18,   was that last summer?

See why I stayed married over 30 years?

Since Friday morning is appears to still be open how about a side trip to the Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville? Open 9-6 every day - with about 90 cars on site. I'd guess about 2-3 hours to see that many cars. A vette caravan there of "classic cars (sharks)" would be cool. Might be a guy thing - the ladies could hit the outlets or something else.

tricer38837.3387731481

Luckily my lady is a non-shopping car guy!

Dave

Muscle Car Museum sounds good to me.
Do you think we need to call and let them know we are coming?

Alright, Alright... I'm all for giving Joel a beating, but let's please keep this thread on topic.  I think there are already enough threads about the Joel Revenge that we don't need to take over another one about it.

Thanks!

I would REALLY like it if I could get a group photo of everyone wearing their PF T-shirts to hang on our wall at the shop along with our other special clients.   A high resolution .jpg so I can print out a nice 5x7 or 8x10.

If this is possible, please e-mail to:  micktees@aol.com

I also want to thank everyone for the nice comments on the shirts.  

Have a blast and be safe!

Mickey

A group photo has been planned, for Friday evening. Could we get all to wear the shirts then?

I added it to the agenda at the end of the Saturday Morning Member Meeting.  That way, everyone will be there, and will have their T-Shirts.  The Friday night group photo is with our Vettes.

I noticed a short blurb on the "Infamous Dragon's Tail" in the June 12th Autoweek recently.... This is going to be a real kick if we dont get stuck behind a local in her beige minivan.... I got stuck beind a couple of young girls in their little riceburner car Friday on my favorite 8 mile stretch of road doing 26 MPH slowing to 12 in the twisties.....    CRAP!!
