OK I found the post that "Pacemaker" put on the thread from the Spring Dragon meet.
Now although he may choose a different route than described below I assure you it will still be a very relaxed pace with some great roads and fun for all who join this group and a nice stop to enjoy lunch together.
I'm sure Pacemaker will chime in soon and he will also address the entire group during our drivers meeting held in the lobby of our hotel on Friday night around 9pm to share the run he has planned for any who choose to join him.

Mostly made up of those who have retired from the "need for speed" crowd and would really like to actually SEE the passing scenery.
A leisurely, but at times challenging (90-100 mph at one point) trip to Franklin and then north to a WONDERFUL lunch at KOSTA'S Greek Diner rounds out the memorable day.
Hope you can make the trip at any speed, but if you want a "tour" go TOURIST CLASS!
