    Tail of the Dragon

    Is there any interest in a combined Southern Marauders and Carolina Marauders at the infamous "Tail of the Dragon" in the fall?

    Y'all...

    set this up right, and more than you may expect, may be there. Tail of the Dragon, or, the Natchez Trace. I'm up for either...

    and

    ...........well.......I'm for the "Tail " , cause I've never been as yet, and have heard so much about it from so many people....gosh!!! and especially since it's in NC.....can you imagine so many MM's in single file ...no LEO will stop 'um --they wouldn't know WTF is going on--so they'd follow to find out--and be last to get to the top or bottom --which ever we're doing--cause we're sure to do both!!!!!!!!! ............Tom

    The Natchez Trace is wonderful (I've been along most of it), but speed is limited and the road is not particularly winding. Beautiful drive, though, with lots of stops for history.

    I like the tail idea... with recommendations for those who've driven down to give the Trace a taste.

    The Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, Blue Ridge Parkway are all close together and have varying degrees of tight twisties, sweeping curves, and great scenery. I'd love to take the MM on these roads. Scheduling... fit it in with the Team Ford MM dyno tune, the joint meeting between the Southern Marauders and the Florida gang, and SSHS4. I can put together some route plans and map packages, I've been on these roads numerous times on the cycles.

    Let me know when. I've been there and it's a blast in a Marauder.

    My Dragon Run

    My mom lives in E TN and I may be able to take a vacation then.

    It will be so cool to see a dozen MMs terrifying the Miatas.

    Rest area, rest home -- what difference does it make? I'm sure Grandma enjoyed seeing all those big trucks pulling in and out.

    If it's coupled with a dyno tune session, I'd like to do my driving after so as to enjoy the updates, eh?

    Just be sure to plan around the Super Heavy Weight Shootout.

    Maybe make it the same weekend, but the other day?

    No definite plans yet, but it is on the list for this fall for sure. Will update if/when plans progress. Anybody with input please drop suggestions in this thread. I may go up for a trial run in a few weeks.
