Mustangs Assault The Dragon 2008 - Page 11

I just found out I wont be able to attend. My ship is going to be out at sea during the meet

Gameboy_J · 01-31-2008, 09:14 AM

K, so I just found out about this meet. I would really LOVE to get the Machinator out to the dragon and this seems like a great chance to do it. There are a few problems though.

A) I will be freshly out of college and into a new job so I am not sure if I will be able to get the days off.

B) It will take me 5 hours to get to Chilhowee, TN and then another 5 to get to Deals Gap, NC. Not to mention the cost of the hotel/gas/food as well as the 7.5 hour trip back to Indiana from NC.

If by some miracle I can actually afford to come, then I will try my hardest

Hell no. More like 20 minutes. It's 11 miles. I think the record is some where around 11 minutes.

Haha, at that speed no car can catch you that is owned by any police force. It was done on a motard (dirt bike with street tires)

Not to mention the cost of gas.

For now.

silver6stang02 · 01-31-2008, 10:30 AM

Lets try and keep these "speed runs" to a minimum.....

If you want to go really fast then feel free to do so AFTER our group has already cruised through there....
I personally dont want to see anyone get their car impounded for reasons above.
Lets stay smart here guys.

Don't worry. I will give the "how to drive safe and fun" speech and stuff before we get going.

Hey, I give myself that speech all the time. Here's how it usually goes:

"Don't blow **** up, don't blow **** up, don't blow **** up, don't blow **** up, don't blow **** up, don't blow **** up, don't blow **** up..."

**mysteed** · 01-31-2008, 12:59 PM

Oh wow, that sucks man.

BTW- I have a set of 2 stock 99-04 bullitts (with tires) just sitting in my garage. Buy 2 more (and tires) and you could have yourself a nice set of wheels.

I agree 100%

jr03v6 · 01-31-2008, 05:29 PM

Whoa speedpark is day two, how about day one? Night time is always better not to mention a lot cooler by then as well.

That's a good idea. They stay open till 11 during the summer. More people may be able to do it then too. Day 2 we can just hang out in PF/G'burg.

Talked to silverstang tonight about Carrs. If we get 2 cabins for 9 ppl each, it'll be like twenty-something a person for the night. Sounds like a great price to me.

silver6stang02 · 01-31-2008, 05:48 PM

If we can snag 2 cottages for 350-400 bucks....and we get 18 people to stay the night, it will be between 19-22 dollars perperson

I will be heading up there sometime soon as I have said before and I will see what I can do with this kinda price.....looks promising tho

01SVTSNAKEBITE · 01-31-2008, 05:48 PM

do we have to...pay in advance for the room???

**greensteeda** · 01-31-2008, 05:50 PM

Hell yeah. Sounds awesome to me.
