Depending on the time of the year and the expected turnout I will probably go both as a vendor and to experience the Dragon. Looking forward to the event!

I live in NJ but if this is National I'd come along....

I used to trailer my 1970 mini all over to car shows including Mini Meet East

Cheers

Here's what the Mini folks are doing for 09: Home - MINIs on The Dragon

Sounds great and should be tons of fun ~ Chrysler CROSSFIRE forum has a "Dragon Run" yearly in the spring - and I think we had one in the fall as well. Just coordinate with the CROSSFIRE guys to ensure the SMART CARS aren't doing it at the same time ~ some areas could be pretty overflowing ~ I'm game!

Based on comments on the TOTD site, the best time for an event is late April and May - before summer campers and after frost. We can keep an eye on the calendar, and once we pick a date, email INFO@TAILOFTHEDRAGON.COM to get it set there. We can also begin the reservation process at that point (or probably should, anyway).

The Tallahassee meet was a combination of things. The location was suggested by Nicholas and with Bum-ling-bee and other's assistance it just kind of morphed... I'm just running point on it to try to keep it organized...

The Dragon is a completely different monster... It will take a group effort. I'll help with whatever I'm asked.

I was actually thinking about trying to get something together for the Mid-Atlantic group, but if you are going to take it larger - count me in.

A group of us from Saturnfans.com went down in 2004... it was great! I came out of it with warped rotors and needing new front tires after some hard runs, but it was totally worth it!
