Mitsubishis Take On the Dragon - MTOD
Its that time to start up the official thread for MTOD '11. The 2nd Annual Mitsubishi's Take On the Dragon Meet is fast approaching. Gameplan for the weekend will surround the trip to the Tail of The Dragon US HWY 129. For those who haven't heard about this road, it is one of the biggest car enthusiast roads in the country. In an 11 mile stretch, this hwy contains 318 turns. Its every car nuts dream.

What better place to meet new friends, see old friends, enjoy the scenery all around and get out and actually enjoy the road.
There will be a thread starting March 7th, 2011 for lodging.
The only thing that is planned for this meet is the Rally over to Tail of the Dragon and spending time over there. The rest of the time can be spent in a infinite amount of ways. There are plenty of things to do in the area like:

Hiking

Eating Out downtown
Go-karts
Putt-Putt
DollyWood
Driving other roads
Chillen at the Cabin
Sleeping
Fishing
The possibilities are endless.

We had over 50 people attend the 1st MTOD last year, I am hoping for over 100 this year. MTOD '11 promises to be BIGGER, BETTER, LONGER!!! The faster way to HWY 129 is open this year so no more 3 hour drive to get there. Clingmans Dome is also open this year, so there will be more to do!

You can count me in. I live in the area. There is a Hooters in Maryville that's semi close with a huge parking lot that would be cool for a meet and greet if you're interested. Let me know if I can help.

There is another small meet being scheduled as well for the the weekend of April 29th - May 1. If anyone wants to come twice!

sorry Im Ted

Boostjunki84

Yep. He hasn't been on the boards lately, but he will be there.

Do you have an account there? If so, it would be great if you could repost this on that site. We don't really have any connections with the 3kgt owners, but it would be awesome to get them to come out as well.

There is nothing out there. There are still many places you can't even get a signal on your cell. However, it looks like Newport, TN has the closest E85 station, which isn't too far from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinberg. Address is 905 Cosby Hwy, Newport, TN.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure we'll catch back up again sometime. Let me know when you head down this way and we'll see what's going down around here.
