Ditto...the weekend was fantastic, so glad I made the trip from Kansas (only 3 more hours in the car).

A big thank you to the KY/TN NATOR crew for putting it all together.

Another big shout out to all the vendors that contributed goodies for the rest of us to donate towards, thank you.
 
I am already having withdrawals from you guys pushing my mind and car to the limits on those roads. You guys are some badass drivers! This weekend made all the hard work on the car worth it. Thank you to everyone that was there. I cannot wait until fall!

Had an absolutely awesome time this weekend, as usual. Highlights included:
-Visiting the skyway for the first time with @InkedInspector and the Nator OK crew. Awesome place with incredible views. Make sure you take a shit before going up there though, seriously.
-Almost ramming into @InkedInspector thanks to a motorcycle accident just around a blind curve
-Getting a ride in the entity formerly known as @phate's Mazdaspeed6 (seriously fuck that car)
- @ConeKiller stealing a specific pair of my underwear
-And of course just seeing everyone from last year again...way too many people to name but I've almost never met anyone at these meets that I didn't enjoy having a conversation with

Kinda sucked getting rained out on Friday. I agree with the idea of tacking on a day (Wednesday) to ensure we get enough dragon runs in because as usual I didn't get enough.

I have to give a shout out to @865ms3 @Gandalf and the TN/KY crew. These guys put a lot of effort into making the festivities at the campsite like the weenie roast happen every dragon camp. I feel like these guys don't get enough credit, they really go out of their way buying and overloading their cars with tons of supplies and never ask for anything in return.

Another great meet! Already looking forward to next year! I will not be camping next year, it was a pain in the ass to drive back every night by myself. I also couldn't really drink because of it. I stuck it out at camp for as many of these as I could, and I'll camp again if that's what everyone else does. But for now I plan to hotel it.

Sadly, I think I will be skipping out on the fall one. It will be the first camp I've missed since I started going in 2012.
 
Today sucked so bad getting back to normal. But I got my primary o2 on the red rocket and flogged her hard. I felt so deprived after driving [MENTION=19855]MAZ[/MENTION];'s speed with no front sway bar I beat mine good today

This was another successful year at Tail of the Dragon. It was great to see so many familiar faces as well and meet tons of new ones. I am also glad that nobody was hurt this year. I look forward to next year and seeing so many of you guys again.
