2013 Southeast Subaru 2nd Annual Tail of the Dragon Boxer Takeover. - Page 11

The roads are a little intimidating at first but after a run or two you figure out your personal groove. Most importantly don't overdrive yourself or your car and DON'T CROSS THE YELLOW LINE!!!!

Good advise for anyone. I would definitely do at least one trial run at 70-80% and get a feel for the road before really putting the wood to it.

04wrxtn · 12-15-2012, 11:36 AM

Yeah cause we don't need anyone in the side of the mountain again this time. Lol

TotalChaos · 12-15-2012, 11:42 AM

Been there. Not doing that again.

Drews · 12-15-2012, 01:21 PM

How far down the mountain did they fall?

King of Poop · 12-15-2012, 01:40 PM

Just Google tail of the dragon tree of shame

Drews · 12-15-2012, 01:52 PM

It just shows all parts hanging off a tree.

No real good crashes

I would YouTube tail of the dragon crashes. There's a few bad wrecks. I know the S2k clus have lost a guy or two

No roof, flipping car down the side of a wooded cliff = no fun

We are planning to come up, but will probably skip most of the daytime group events in favor of some side trips (Biltmore, rafting, etc) but are in for evening shenanigans!

Just need to find a truck/trailer if I'm bringing the Subaru...

This is the second annual trip this specific group has gone on together. There's a lot more people joining us on the cruise up who have been doing it a lot longer I guess.

I miss mine!!!!! Only a few more days though. Going into the machine shop tomorrow and having heads rebuilt!

thescreensavers · 12-17-2012, 12:39 AM

Dang, cant make the dates, Hopefully 2014 will be at a better time.

When I had a G35 I went to Zdayz it was tons of fun, now with the WRX need to do it again!

I hated my WRX...driving it any sort of distance was just annoying.

All I need to do is sell my WRX and buy a trailer. And trade my truck on a diesel.

Maybe if you had posted that you were doing these before, maybe we would have joined.

pjc1976 · 12-17-2012, 11:29 AM

Bump...

GreenMarine · 12-17-2012, 11:42 AM

Looks like a well organized meet... Props to you "yetogetanrs2" for getting this together. I might have to see if it's possible for me to make this meet... Won't know untill probably a month out though.

They were put on by the SE region... posted in this Forum, The first was May 2001.

2002 event (I was there, with my subaru too!):
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126798

2003, my subaru actually made it to this one as well:
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=357557

I missed the 2004 event, was the same weekend as STPR and living in MI at the time it was a lot closer.

2005 - present my Subaru has been broken.

I was at the "official" meet in '07 and '09 as well in the RX8 and Solstice, respectively

------------------------------------------------
No A/C, no radio, RA gears, and a 9-month old = driving Subaru at highway speed for long distances is not fun.

Thanks man, I learned a lot from last years trip, seeing what people wanted and didn't want, what would work and what did not.

Safir, I can't admit that I have seen a large number of interest in the dragon from past year threads I've read. I actually got quite a bit of info from past years threads.

I know this isn't like a "super cool" official dragon run, but my goal is to make it that throughout the years to come. I personally already see double the interest we had last year come though this year. No one seems to actually keep up with a yearly "same date, same time" kind of run to make it a "trend". Which is my goal.

I would like to eventually make this "trend" into our version of the southeast go to meet.
