If you can pull it off I highlyr reccomend it. I cannot remember when I had a better time with friends and, at the same time, in my Crossfire. The beausty of the Fontanna region only pales compared to the interesting people you will meet who drive these very special cars.

Joanna - Sorry to hear that Allen & you have opted out of attending future weekend GTG's at Fontana. Always enjoy seeing you guys. But Roberta & I are close, too. We'll have to plan a GTG of our own with you guys during an upcoming weekend.

We're interested in driving a roadway up by Little Switzerland in NC late spring. We'll contact you guys to see if you'd like to join us.
Later,

Well, the closer we get, the better the weather forecast gets... only time will tell!

There is a chance this will be my last Dragon... career and personal life are evolving - I may be moving WAY out west before the fall run.

Let's make this a good one!

Damn Steve nothing serious I hope. Just fired the coupe up today. First really nice day up here. Time to get back to work on it. I am not going to make it either but I will be there in the fall. Everyone have a great time. I wish I could make it. Weather and time just aren't there to get things finished in time. And now the new pup needs a minor surgery this coming Friday. I going to hold her paw for the weekend. lol.

Hi Guys,
Though I cannot find my name listed anywhere for this Spring's Dragon I KNOW that I was listed eleventh in the list after the end of the Fall dragon. Nevertheless, I had booked my room at that time and you may expect me and my lovely wife to be at Fontana Lodge by Friday afternoon.
Looking forward to being with you again,
Jonathan (and Murfi) Pedersen

Sorry you are not going to make it Steve. I was looking forward to getting an up close look at your car. Maybe things will come together and you can still make it.

Hey Gary,

I have stopped cruising(got over 365 days at sea), looks like you are starting. I was wondering where you were, looks like you all are going to have Great weather for the Dragon starting Friday thru Mon. (a good amount of rain is forecast for Thurs AM/PM). Wishing everyone a Super weekend!

My Best,
SF
