No problem with the tire. Thanks again for your help with that. We will be at the Dream Cruise.

Your very welcome. As a member of this forum I think you will find that people want to help and welcome each other as friends.
I love these meets and wish I could go to all of them. I will be at Woodward and also will be returning to the Dragon in the fall. Later Gary

While on my way to the Dragon, I was thinking to myself that the pictures of the car were going to suck because of the rain. Imagine my suprise when I saw them posted ! those pics in the rain are incredible!!!!
The headlights being on, piercing through the fog really gives one the sense of motion. fantastic job US129!

A Crossfire can look good in any shot. (except wrecked)
It just simply is a cool car.
I still take pics of my car and although they all start to look similar I just keep trying to get that awesome shot.
My gallery is loaded with them beginning with the first day I had it to the most recent last week.
I agree those US129 pics are cool too.

Hello All!,

I am new to this Forum. I am located about 15 minutes from the Tail of the Dragon in Vonore, TN. I would love to get in on a meet. However with my overseas duties with the Army, It will be difficult for me to be able to. I was wondering when the next meet is scheduled for the "Tail of the Dragon" meet. I'm hoping it will fall somewhere between Oct 20-Nov 19, 2008. That is when I will be home from my overseas tour, then its off to Germany for me and my XF. Any info you can pass my way will be appreciated! Thanks!

I'm jealous, AChinn. It takes me over an hour and a half to play on the Dragon.

Perhaps some of us who are near the TofD can arrange some small group day or weekend trips.
