I ran the dragon today
I met the East Tennessee Cruisers today at Beaty Chevrolet. Several if not all are forum members so I wanted to put the faces with the names. I couldn't have asked to be treated any better, I was teated like family and had a great time.
We ran the Dragon (318 curves in 11 miles) and it's hard for a stock C3 to keep up with C4's, C5's and Z06's (although I believe they were just cruising).
When we stopped to eat I looked across the parking lot, there is nothing prettier than seeing 15 or so Vettes parked together in a parking lot.
Thanks again East Tennessee Cruisers :thumbs: :thumbs:

Sounds like it was a nice time. If we hadn`t had prior commitments, we would have went too. Maybe next time we can all ride up together.
