Default we need a few more to set a new record

-----------------------------------75 cars now.----------------------------------------------
----------------------- at the TAIL OF THE DRAGON 2017------------------------------
That is 9 less than the record of 2010 "Fall 2010 LARGEST MEET EVER ..84"""

now if only 10 more people with cars were to commit and show up we would have the new attendance record. ????where are the other V8 crossfires??? jim

The V-8 Squirrel Crusher will be at the Dragon soon. Rudy's got his team coming together with the final stages of the bare block build. It took longer than we expected to have custom Carrillo rods and BWE pistons made up. Now the rotational mechanic needs to balance out the new internals. Needswings has completed the headers and major head work. Along with thermal,teflon and powder coatings. Weistec 3 liter blower to be bolted on along with all new cooling. Rudy's completed maxing out the V-12 transmission. The Dragon and 1/2 mile drag strips will hear the thunder soon. Squirrel Crusher

First of all, WOW. I guess Rudy is busy with YOUR car, SC.

Second, the problem is Lodging. The lodge is just booked, period. There are a few people who can share their room, but a lot of couples are attending so that number is limited.

I THINK there is a cabin or two left with 2/3 bedrooms. That could sleep as many as 6 or 7!

I was about to respond with a snarky "in the shop." But then I saw Squirrel Chrusher's post.


Yep. That's where they be.

Hey Jim, You still have a huge advantage over me. Long term drag racing experience! I have none. But I'll be working up to that. Squirrel Crusher
