Southeast/East Coast August Meet
August 5-7th
Dealâ€™s Gap, North Carolina

As some of you know, this meet has been in the planning stages for a few months now. After getting the details nailed down weâ€™re now announcing things. Also due to the low turnout for NPM, we did not want to announce this too early and jeopardize that event. However, weâ€™re now at the point that we have to announce this one in order to give people a few weeks to make reservations for lodging or weâ€™ll loose our pricing/block of cabins if we donâ€™t get them filled by June 1st.

Let me state that in no way is this a replacement for NPM. This is just a smaller scale meet for the east coast people later in the year, before school starts up and aimed at the people that have no intentions of attending NPM this year.

Little bit of backgroundâ€¦. Chad (Vapor) and I discussed our two groups (MDPC and OHPOC) getting together to do something after NPM. He mentioned Tail of the Dragon to me and after hearing about this from others, and then looking at the map of the road, it seemed like something weâ€™d all enjoy doing as a group. I relocated to Georgiaâ€¦ and so now itâ€™s no longer just meant for our two clubs but for anyone wishing to attend.

We had a small group of people from the Prelude Communities come up with the nameâ€¦ and ended up with two because we liked them both. Silly namesâ€¦ for a low key fun weekend.

Information is listed here:
http://www.rotortoaster.com or http://www.preludecoaster.com

Weâ€™re looking forward to just a few days together at the end of the summer for those of us that are not going to NPMâ€¦.

We still want to encourage everyone to go to NPM thoughâ€¦ thatâ€™s the primary meet of the year and itâ€™s something everyone should experience at least once. This smaller scale meet is nothing more than spending time with friends and driving some crazy roadsâ€¦ no track, no drag racingâ€¦ no car showsâ€¦ nothing like that. Just friends + cars =)

Consider it Lude Fest Eastâ€¦. But we wanted the name to be original. Look forward to seeing whoever wants to comeâ€¦

hopefully the local yokels will leave the roads alone that weekend, ive heard some crazy stories

On a more serious note, Deal's Gap is a crazy stretch of road, should be a blast... here's some links to help out.

Should be able to find most anything here

hey guys just a note... about that radar map....

these roads are nothing to play on... we really won't want people playing the fool and getting themselves or others hurt because they start speeding.... so while it's a good "map" as far as showing the roads, lets NOT use it as a tool to avoid the police ok??

april · 06-08-2005, 07:55 AM

24 people signed up in about a week ...thanks for the support guys!!!
red92s I went ahead and added you based on your reply here (and since I knew your info)

Just a reminder that this is coming up in 26 days!!!!
If you've emailed us using the form lately I apologize... I was on vacation and havent had time to check that account yet and get the site updated. Right now we have about 40 people signed up to go!

For those of you that didn't make it to NPM on the east coast, this would be a great time to get out to see everyone!

Sunava....I didn't read this post or the official one until today. PLus I have finals to take care of. I would so go because I need a break from work. Perhaps next year. How do you think my SS will fare on the dragon tail?

april · 08-12-2005, 08:55 AM

My SS had no problems at all keeping up with anyone... in fact, I honked at someone to get them out of my way at one point =)

Jackhammer · 08-15-2005, 09:12 AM

I don't care what they all say. An SS ain't too bad if you don't know how to drive stick.

Cmeflyby · 08-15-2005, 11:23 AM

I use to have an SS an it was still fun, just not as fast, but in the Dragon, it wouldn't matter
