SouthEast - Tail of the Dragon Meetup
1 Attachment(s)
As Haku suggested in the recent Tri-State meetup thread, it is time for the SouthEast 991 addicts to organize a similar event. We have some of the finest roads in the country in the Smoky Mountains and they are roughly at the same distance from GA, TN or the Carolina's.
So here's an initial proposal: what about starting from the Tail of the Dragon on Sunday 6/9 (late morning so that we can all get there?). We could put our heads together and come up with a round trip itinerary and lunch break in the mountains. The the Atlanta folks, here's a nice way to get to the Tail of the Dragon following scenic and twisty roads: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1365953033 Looking forward to see positive responses and have as much fun as our friends up North :) Serge |
I would have loved to go, but I'll be playing golf in Amelia that weekend.

I'm in!

I was just down there 2 weeks ago with my 991. Took the while family for a week and rented a cabin. I didn't see a single Porsche there the whole week, I couldn't believe it, and I drive all over the place. The roads were fantastic and I guess early season as there was no traffic anywhere. I sure wish I could join you guys as it would have been so much more fun driving with other Porsches, but I'm about 11 hours away so not an easy trip for me. Post lots of pics, I'm sure it will be great!

Great!
Haku, where are you ? ;) Yup I'm in on this one matey! Thanks so much for starting the thread. Please let me know if I can help with any organising etc. I can do some head-scratching on roads to visit around there. Common ones are of course the Cherohala, Blue Ridge Pkwy., and the 129 the Dragon. IMO, its worth doing but be prepared for a busy road with a pile of those who protect us.

Interesting but it may just be a huge group with all the pros and cons that goes with it. Although I'm less eager with this option, I'll go with the majority.
I'm not too fond of PCA events either. |

I'm not too fond of PCA events either. Thanks for pointing out the opportunity though. I suggest we stay on course with the initial proposal. Let's find out how many more participants we would have. Serge |

Good to know we will be 'protected' ;) Maybe we could ask the local authorities if they would provide an escort and clear the road for us! |

A meet up sounds fun. I'm down for this. Joe Brown Highway near Hiawasse Dam is a hidden gem in that area. Cherohala is always nice as well.
