Ok Dragon goer's, The time is getting closer for our trip. If you are still interested in going please reserve your room NOW. I will be cancelling the remaining rooms available next week Tuesday, Sept 23. I still need to know who will be traveling down from Grand Rapids area and who we will joining along the way.
So if you are on the fence about going, you have 1 week to make your plans. Hope we can get some more for the trip. Any questions? PM me

I wish I would not have missed this thread. My GF and I have a trip planed and have a nice cabin rented in the Gatlinburg area 10/17-?? If anyone is going to be up there later in the week or the following weekend/week, we'll be running around in a blacked out C5 (if I can get it put back together in time) or a silver ZO6. It'd be nice to compare must see destinations and have some others to rat the roads with!

Last chance to get on the bandwagon for Factory Tour. I plan on doing the Factory Tour Wednesday morning 8:30 am. I'm not going to spend $200 on the VIP one since I'd be the only person. If there was at least one more person I'd be willing to split the $200. For $200 up to 4 people can do the VIP tour.
Monday and Tuesday I'll be doing the Bourbon Trail. Tuesday night I'll be in BG KY. Get up early and do the factory tour...then I'm thinking about tracking the new motor sport track at the museum. If anyone wants to join let me know. I plan on getting my rooms within the next few days.

OK, last weekend to get your reservations in for the trip. I plan on canceling the remaining rooms available come Tuesday morning. If you want some fun with a great group, this is the trip for you. Hope those still on the fence can get away for a few days for some fun.

All available rooms are now canceled. If your still looking to go you are going to get your own room at another motel. These rooms will go fast.
Still looking for confirmation from a couple of people of people on meeting places on the way down.

Sad to hear the news Don... Please let me know how I might assist.
I will call or text you this Saturday as we get closer to Gatlinburg. Hoping to arrive early enough to have dinner with you!

But on other news....I'm leaving Next Monday...
I had a few questions for everyone that has done it before...
Do you have a "list" of things you recommend I bring?
I also have BOTH FSU's that went bad...so now both tanks can't tell me how much fuel is let.... Guess its going to be $$ next year. Going to throw a new clutch in at the same time I have the FSU's replaced...need to find someone cheaper than GM to do the work....2 bottles of techron soaking in a FULL tank of gas right now.
Also...does anyone have any connection to the new Motor park....?!?? I'd love to run it...made a phone call ...they said no one can run on it...only groups.... but I'm sure if someone could help with some connection I'd love to run the tack...even if I wasn't "flying" on it...still be fun to say I tracked it once around or something.
Thanks everyone.

First, take your camera. Lots of pics to be taken. As Don mentioned before, take a chair. It may be warm there so take some warm and cool weather clothes. Leave your work at home and get ready for a lot of fun and driving.
One thing to plan on is everyone getting together Wed night for dinner somewhere. Those there early can scope out a good place to go.We will go day by day on any plans on what to do or just go off on your own.
