Hello,
The Nashville meeting was a little smaller than
planned at just 7 cars, but fun. I got to meet several
new people and got a bunch of input on what type of
events the group would like to do. Racing came up
several times as we talked about the SE Meet. Soooo I
looked at the SCCA site for TN and they have an event
Feb 17th at the Nashville Speedway. The event was
listed as being a teaching session and I'm not totaly
sure what that means yet. I've e-mailed the events
director for the specifics. How many are interested in
doing this for a meet in Feb? It's the 17th, so it's
on a Sunday. Those who have not raced or those like me
who ...um..suck.. might find the event of great
interest.
Next, we talked about an weekend trip to Deals Gap, so
we can run the Dragon! The only question is when to do
it. The Se Meet is May and that strikes that. March is
a possibility, but it may still be crappy weather. Any
help with dates would be of great help.
Thanks,
Dale Adkins

Deals Gap is the stretch of HWY 129 that is referred to as "The Dragon" If I
remember correctly it is 318 curves in 11 miles. Go to www.tailofthedragon.com
or www.dealsgap.com for more info.
I have been through there several times on my F4i, but never in a car. If you do
go in your car just expect bikes to be on your tail, or passing you in some
unlikely places. There are some excellent riders there on any given weekend.
As a side note. My wife is a nurse and during the peak months (when the weather
is nice) LIFESTAR medivac helicopter is there at least once a week picking up
someone who has tried to drive or ride beyond their capabilities.
Don't get me wrong, it is a blast, but remember "The Dragon" has teeth.

It's the killer stretch of road know as the Dragon.
It's in the mountains, full or curves, and has a
fairly high speedlimit for the type of road it is. If
you visit www.atlantamr2s.com they have a link and
info about the area. I'll get info added to our site
soon.
