Just an update/bump for those who may have missed this. We have five signed up with itsky still needing to sign up for him and the much better half. That would put us at 7. See the information below for details.

Our tour time is 11:30.
There are currently 10 spaces reserved for our group.
If we have a group of 10, the cost will be $69+tax=$75.73 per person.
With less than 10, you may need to pay an additional $10+tax upon arrival.
If you are interested in joining us, please call 1-800-451-9972 to pay and reserve your spot and mention reservation #57169.
Any spaces not booked and paid for by September 14 will be released. After this date, you could still call and check on availability.

consider flying into McGhee Tyson Airport only 51 miles from the Fontana Lodge where we all stay.
Nice small airport with rental cars available.
Fly in and rent a car and drive just 51 miles to the lodge and join in on all the fun.
There are always passenger seats for you to ride in and we would love to have you.
You don't even need your Crossfire to have a great weekend at the Dragon.

It looks like there will be three Aero Blue SRT's coming out of St Louis/ Denver to the Dragon
Itsky has his new one, Crumpy has hers and I will be delivering the CAA car to it's new owner right after the event. We will all be caravaning together.
The hard part for me will be having that beast under my foot all weekend and not bending any metal. Sadly, one run thru the Dragon and then I must park it until we leave.
Still quite a sight with three blue Crossies, all SRT's, coming down the Pike.
I'll bet the Kentucky State police on I-75 are salivating already.
See ya!

Alex, Tom, and I didn't make it half way through our first run Friday afternoon last time I was there before all three of us were simultaneously pulled over. He said, "You rich XF owners might be able to afford ticket, but you better slow down."
I politely told him we could certainly NOT afford the ticket or the accompanying insurance increase and we were let off with a warning.
They are waiting for us... pulling our trailors full of money

Anyone up near the Atlanta / Macon area are welcomed to drive up with Pizza Guy and I (Deborah Walker) to the Dragon, get in touch with either of us and we'll plan on meeting up along the way.
She can ride with me ;)
