Yeah, it's the Pilot just off the pellisipi pkwy on Northshore Dr., the 1st exit after you cross the river heading west. They sell Turbo Blue, I paid $3.99 a gal on Aug 12th, so you should be able to get it for about $3.50 a gal now. There's also a Pilot in Kingston @ the Lawnville exit off of 40 that sells it for the same price.
Hope you and your buds make it out!

Everyone who's thinking about going and is from out of town ought to be thinking about accomodations. I have inlaws about 35 minutes from the Dragon that I might stay at or get a motel room in the immediate area.

Mac,
Your not jacking my thread!

Redevo,
Yep, that's the one! These two roads(the Dragon is actually called Rt129) are famous throughout the country, but the Cherohalla Skyway, which is much longer and more fun in some ways, is somehow forgotten compared to the Dragon. It's also a lot less travelled.

Cherohalla gets pretty high in altitude - I think over 5000 feet. Definitely gets cold up top. November-December time frame - watch out for ice and snow.

Also, if people are interested...Townsend is a great place to stay. Its about 30 minutes from the Dragon, and a fun trip at that up the foothills parkway. You can rent a 3-4 bedroom log cabin - usually with a pool table, jacuzzi, and a great view for less than a nice hotel room (per person).

The Date is set for October 21st through 22nd.

I will probably get there Friday night though.

But I am thinking if Oct 14th ~ Oct 16th Maybe even better. So I'm going to throw a quick poll, then make a decision and go from there.

I would want all of you guys to spread the word.

This is always an Awesome event and everyone who's been to it never forget how much fun they had.

So, the poll first, then I will revised the thread.

Thanks!

Choices are:

October 13th ~ 15th (starting 14th)

or

October 20th ~ 22nd (Starting 21st)


The thing I'm worried about is the SEMA (Oct. 31 - Nov. 3, 2006) this year and last year, some of the vendors couldn't attend because of our meeting collided with the SEMA.

Thanks everyone :smilie_tu
A group is heading up mid october.
