They had this on Superbikes on Speed last night. It is definitely on my dad's and my to-do list in a car and on a bike.

but this is another point.

WARNING: Due to the nature of Strong Stock events, All drivers and passengers must be 18 years or older. ID's will be checked. There will be no exceptions. If you show up, you will be sent home if you do not meet the age requirements.
You car will be looked over to make certain that the car will make the event. Strong Stock events are long and will be very hard on your car. You equipment must be in top form. We suggest purchasing an auto club membership (i.e. AAA) just in case something happens.
This event is primarily a Toyota MR2 event. Other cars will be allowed.
Show-offs, dangerous drivers and excessive speeders will be told to go home. Strong Stock is not a race.
Racing Strong Motorsports is not responsible for any part of this meet. I only organize the meeting points. You are on your own. But... you must follow the above rules.
Virginia Police and State Troopers live for the kill. They will hide. They use the radio. If you get caught speeding exspect a rather large fine. If you are 21 mph over the speed limit expect jail time. If you have a radar detector in your car expect to lose it if you are pulled over. Remove it for the Virginia leg of the trip. They are illegal. A large group of sports cars will attract the attention of the law. Please be aware of that. As a side note I have been pulled over for having decals on my car. They were quite shocked when they looked in the car and saw two old people in it. They look for infractions. Is it fair? Probably not. So be prepared.

Why do we need to go with those jokers then?

[kelso]

ive been on the tail of the dragon and its a great road very fun....ive never driven it personally but its definately on my to do list for the ti

[carguy101]

Why do we need to go with those jokers then?

No offense but I agree with Dave it doesn't sound like a lot of fun imo with those people but thanks for tryin.

[TheDarkSide]

You have to be 18 and your car has to meet their standards? It is a public road :chair:

[carguy101]

Does't look like I could go then cus of the age (just have to wait two months) but what is "their standards" ?

I posted the warning cause of the cops. A group of BMWs, esp some of us, tend to be more aggresive, I fpr one with the Club S.

I am all down for the Dragon, just not for when it's snowing. No Snow for the Panzer. before I go I'd want some 15x7 light weight rims, 225 tires, new rotors, new brake fluid and a good change of oil, some 'round 10w40 or 15w50. New brake pads too.

http://www.valleyviewlodge.com/ (http://www.valleyviewlodge.com/) < this is where I would like to stay if we head up as group.

[LDadrenaline]

it says its not a race, but if they check IDs and dont let people under 18 compete..... I think this is some kind of thing so they don't get sued, but it may cause more problems for them. Not letting people under 18 in should raise a major red flag


I agree with Dave though, if we do it, we should do it as FG, not as the toyota MR2 club

[SlickShift]

I highly doubt we'd be able to get a large group to head out there. If we were serious about this, we'd need to plan now and have the planned meet in about a year.

[LDadrenaline]

Yeah and there would need to be like a signup list where if you back out you get shot.... Because everything we organzie falls apart if Surina isnt in charge.

[carguy101]

Well put LD, couldn't have said it better.
