I leave in one week, six hours and 13 minutes.
Also, my Escort 9500 Radar Detector will be for sale at the Dragon - I bought it this past Spring but I have come to realize that the LAST thing I need is a radar detector - it makes me too brave! I'd rather take my occasional lump than have this thing with me!

Been all over CarID over our Lexani wheels the last two weeks .. that we were told would be in 1st week of September. They get them today from Lexani and for only another 125 bucks they can get them on the UPS truck Friday and get them to us Monday. At least I get Tuesday to get them mounted up and on the car before our Wednesday morning departure...
Leaving for Texas Motor Speedway tomorrow.. and really wanted the winners circle photo with the new look too... Hope those wheels look twice as good in person as online since they ain't making this an easy transaction!

Hey, Im going to call the lodge, they sent me an email that I could get the group discount, so I got one question before I call them, it looks like I'm rolling by myself, my wife can't make it so how many days should I book my room for? This is my first time going so everything's new to me.
re: 8th Annual Fall 2014 - Tail of the Dragon GTG-October 3, 4, 5
that is up to you. There will be early arrivals on Thurs and late leavers on Monday. I get there Friday evening and leave at noon Sunday. I really need to break that habit and stay longer....lol
re: 8th Annual Fall 2014 - Tail of the Dragon GTG-October 3, 4, 5
Ok, thats sounds alright for me also, just trying to get an idea whats happening, is there several things going on during that time, events, trading, checking cars out, things like that?
re: 8th Annual Fall 2014 - Tail of the Dragon GTG-October 3, 4, 5
Franc, You should know better! Pull the trouble code(s) and tell us what they are so we can help you . . .
re: 8th Annual Fall 2014 - Tail of the Dragon GTG-October 3, 4, 5
For the record, according to my shrink, I am well beyond help.
Happened on theway to work this morning. However, I pulled the battery cable for 5 minutes and things seem fine now.
I have owned dozens of cars with Check engine lights over the last 40 years. Combined, they did not light up as often as the one on my Crossie.
I dropped a full can of SeaFoam in the tank Yesterday. That may have spooked the CPU
If it comes on again, I'll pull the codes.

It up to you but there are things to do Friday, Saturday and Sunday and people to hang out with Friday night Saturday night and Sunday night
Make the most of it and stay as long as you can

The best Dragon runs are early Monday AM. especially the fall run. No traffic and no cops. Cool air and warm pavement. Perfect conditions for NA or Supercharger.
The car is on fire.
