Tail of the dragon

[YELLOH]

Hi guys
I noticed Martin has signed up for the tail of the dragon. I'm tired of working and I need to spread my wings. So I am very interested in going to this event. I'm just trying to see who might be interested in going from the New England club. This way we can plan a route and time of departure and get some lodging set up. I will be in charge of the snacks of course. We haven't had a VOI in a long time, so it is time for a road trip. It would be nice to get about 6 to 10 vipers to go.:web_driver:
RICK

Martin is signed up.
YELLOH and I think I have Shawn as a Co-pilot, he will also be assisting in the snack dept.

Im gonna have such a big month in May, first the presidents meeting, then I fly back home and 2 days later Im driving down to TN for Tail of the Dragon, then when we get back the following Tuesday/Wednesday I have the Lobster roll event at Dominique's house......might need to reschedule that....lol

Great, it has been a long time since VOI . It will be good to see you guys again. We are registered and have our room booked. As it is quite a drive for us we will be arriving Wednesday. If you guys are planning to do the same we'd like to join the east coast caravan. Our first night stay will be at Chelmsford Mass. So we'd be ready to set off Tuesday the 26th. Hey Rick, we'd even bring some Cod tongues and cheeks for you to snack on!! Ha. Last year we took the I84 to the I81, easy. We had a great time and it sounds even better for this year. Its definitely worth the drive.

Cheers Shaun.

Cody just think of it as a gift that keeps on giving, from a friendly neighbour. :Canada:. But seriously, its been the worst winter in a long time. Even the old timers are having a hard time remembering a worse one. Well,now we have a great road trip to look forward to.
Hey Mike, sign up and I'll give you some tongue :o that is, Cod tongue and/ or cheeks ha.

You're in luck. We are planning a "casino" run to Cherokee for breakfast for those who are interested. Nothing like a drive in your Viper, a buffet breakfast, and then one armed bandits to take your money.

Of course you can ride along with us. I don't think the details are ironed out yet but we'll let you know as soon as they are. We can pick you up along the way. Rusty says he'll get you a New England Patriots jersey so you'll blend in! :)

Martin

Hey Tony, We don't have a plan yet, but I am thinking leaving Wednesday morning and staying overnight somewhere in PA possibly. Then driving the rest of the way Thursday morning. Were waiting to see if we can get a few more people to commit so we can all plan our trip together.

l'll discuss with my crew first to see if we want a New Yorker to travel with us......lol

I would recommend driving as far as you can that first day while you're fresh. Get to VA or northern TN if possible. It will make the second day much easier.

Makes sense. I'm down for whatever the whole team wants to do. We got guys and girls of all ages, heck I drove to Miami 24 hrs straight a few times....but I cant do that anymore...Im fat now.

Meeting Spots for the
Tail of the Dragon Run
Hi Everyone
Next Wednesday May27th we will be leaving for the Tail of the Dragon Run. Anyone coming from the north we will meet at.
Exit 2 Park in Ride on 93 South for 8:00 AM Leaving at 8:15.
Next stop at Chelmsford Rest area on 495 South for 8:45 leave at 9:00.
Next stop on Mass pike Rte 90 at the Westbrough rest area for 9:45 leave at 10:00
Final Stop on Mass Pike Route 90 at Charlton Rest area for 10:30 leave at 11:00
We will all fill up with gas, and get a snack. When we head out we will drive West on the Mass pike into NY and grab 87 South which is also another toll road. I feel this might be our best route verses driving through NYC on 95. We will stop for lunch around 2ish and stop overnight when we get around half way or so.
Please email me back and let me know what check point you will be meeting us at. I understand things happen on the road so if you are running late let me know. We will wait for everyone.
For a nice road trip experience, take a few minutes and make sure your Viper is ready for the trip. Check your tire pressure, oil and fluids, battery and etc.
Also don’t forget 2- way radios, snacks, water, camera, VOA name badge, extra quart of oil.
RICK

[NSviper]

Heading down tomorrow see you guys there. Have a safe trip.
