Front wheel in for road rash repair (Gary's savior emergency spare), and just ordered a new front set of Hankook Ventus Evo 235/40/18 from Tire rack, hope to have them fitted by end of the week.

I have also fitted a new set of carbon front brake pads, fed up with black wheel dust.

So should be ready for the Dragon in a couple of months.

 

We'll be ready with new rubber.. and new wheels! Originally they said 8-9 weeks on wheels.. got an email for a 9-1 ship date! And like you Andrew.. Ceramic pads on the front now with rears just waiting on me to put them on.

 

Greg: I hope Sherri's rims are here in time for the Dragon!!..I'm anxious to see them...BTW, I have ceramics on the front...they work great and there's very little brake dust... Carl

 

13dog: care to reveal what it is?...Carl

 

Per their schedule Carl they should be! Figure I'll order some tires and New TPMS next week.. Everyone follows schedules this should all come together with at least 3 weeks till Dragon.. I've still notice more brake dust than I thought she would have.. leftovers maybe.. LOL

 

Gary, I'm planning to attend. I'm still working out reservations or the possibility of a roommate.

See y'all there!

 

Ok the party has started, Tom Coming , Ya !

Just spoke to a white coupe owner in Cary NC told him about the dragon etc. he said he will check out the. Forum posting. Hope we get another new face to come along. I wasn't sure how to invite him to the Facebook site?
His name is Adam Shortridge

 

Just bought my 2006 Crossfire Limited and would like to meet other owners. Do you have a meeting location for the Dragon weekend.

 

Go to post #1 in this thread and start from there. Everything you'll need to know . . . Hope you can join us . . . ENJOY your Crossfire

 

Phoenix29, just in case you cant find the info in the earlier post we are meeting at Fontana Village Resort near Fontana Dam

 

Welcome
As Red Dog said everything you need to know to join us is in post #1

Yes, join us for the weekend and have a real fun time.


We have old farts that have been around for a while and nubies that are just getting started. We love 'em all.
You're just a few hours away up I-75 to I 81 . Cut over and go east just south of Knoxville TN.


We look forward to meeting you

 

Come up through Lineville and you can convoy up with us early Thursday morning.
( us = me [George] and zip439 [Steve] and maybe maxcichon [Max] )
You are 4 hours away, so if you leave at 5 AM you should get here along with the others.

You don't want to drive interstate all the way anyway. ( I65 - I59 - I75 )

 

You know it, Ray! It'll be great to see everyone. I've missed a couple events and I'm getting withdrawal!

Any info on potential Friday runs and Sunday runs? This may help us decide on what days to make our reservations for. A "tentative" run schedule added to post one/three would help as these runs are talked about especially for us newbies. Sorry, we aren't in the flow of the weekend yet.

 

This is directed to the post above, and to all first-timers:

SUNDAY:
There is ALWAYS a run on Sunday, sometimes 2 or 3 depending on interests.

One option is a run to the Builtmore (most don't return from that trip, they head on towards home after).
Another is a run to the waterfalls around and south of Franklin (I have done that on the way home to Georgia.)
And sometimes we do a Cherahala / Dragon run and many break away at lunch and head home to the west/northwest.

But if you are new, I STRONGLY suggest you try to arrive Thursday evening (and then plan on leaving Sunday all or partway thru whatever run you do).

FRIDAY:
On Friday, Franc has a run planned as does Nick - so you have a choice of a more leisurely drive or a pants-on-fire run, both are (I do beleive) a bit shorter runs, I know Nick will be back to the Lodge not long after lunch. Then, I and others will be running up and down hellbender and the Dragon on Friday afternoon - so you could come along and see what bunch you fit in, in preparation for the runs on Sat and Sun! Also, Friday is a low traffic day until about 4 or so - Sat and Sun can get crowded.

And........
Given your long drive (you live almost "where the north begins" - which is Clare, MI), I'd leave early Thursday and arrive in the evening you have a 12 hour drive and Nick, myself and a few others will be there by 4 or 5. We will probably be milling about in the parking lot if you get there by 8 or so or sitting in the Grill if you get there earlier. If I were you, I'd either plan on staying Sunday night, or spending Sunday night on the road - gonna be a LONG drive home to be going with us on Sunday as well - so sacrifice all day with us Sunday in return for Friday. MANY leave EARLY Sunday to get home for work the next day, so if you are going to miss a day, Sunday is the day to miss, IMO.

Just remember that most of us head home Sunday - it's not really a full day unless you stay Sunday night as well.

In any event, if you don't SEE us, go into the grill and ask around for "Crossfire" people. The Hyundai Genesis Coupes will be there and many of them know many of us - they will probably be able to direct you. Don't be shy, just ask around!
