Volvo Forums Tail of the Dragon meet
 
I am interested to see how many people would be willing to meet up in the Knoxville, TN area and have a few cruises on US 129 "the Dragon."


I would like to potentially start getting a list of names together for a spring or summer meet.


There are many public parks in the area that we could have a BBQ, throw a football around, and generally kick back and talk about our cars.


For more information on the highway itself, visit: http://www.tailofthedragon.com or http://www.dealsgap.com



If you might be interested, post here so we can get the ball rolling.

I'd like to meet some of you guys in person and see some of your cars.

I would love to make it but I doubt I would be able to. The wife is on a Suby forum all the time and they go there all the time. I have seen many pics from up there and it would be an awesome place to drive!!!!

I go once a year with another forum for Celicas.

Last year there were TONS of Honda S2000's and some WRX's.

I took my SC300 last year.

I was going to take my 72 Celica THIS year but since I had to part it out from the rust damage, I'm taking the SC again. Wouldn't mind beefing up the Volvo a bit suspension wise and taking a run, but its my daily funbox at this point.


My SC is getting overhauled in the suspension department over the next few months:

New bushings for most suspension parts.
New Supra TT TRD struts (got them from a guy who got laid off)
NIB Espelir ASD springs (Also from the same guy, just bought them later)
Sumitomo tires on my 17's (255/45/17)

Might snatch up this Supra TT front sway bar with Daizen bushings for $50, but we'll see.


Also need to get my Bilsteins for the back of the 850 because the current ones are...heh.....destroyed. I have never seen a car bounce this much.
