some cabins have outside faucets. There is one centralized faucet that will probably be in high demand. It is also the location DrBonz will be doing the detailing sessions.

only consolation I can offer is everyone will be in the same situation as far as washing a car goes. It is a peoples choice show, so a little dirt will probably not hurt you as badly as it would in a judged show.

Yes, but we're on the road for NINE hours. It will be difficult to see our cars through the caked-on bugs!!!

Guys that have posted in this thread and said they were going, but then cancelled, and now are regretting it because they know it's going to be soooo much fun, and they are getting sick from seeing how excited we are getting as the weekend approaches, so they want to unsubscride to this thread, but not really because deep down they are trying to find a way to make it down there, even if it's in a stripped down G35 sedan:

Sorry man, but I'm just trying to keep the fire lit... .

I can warn you, from personal experience, that the enforcement area on Hwy 28 just off of Hwy 74 shown on the map is no joke! Take it easy through there.

The map of the dragon is represented on the map above by the stretch of Hwy 129 straddling the border of NC and TN. Look where the map says "Deals Gap". The dragon is the blue section of 129 bordered by the red section of 129 and the black section of Hwy 28 that intersects it.

Default Don't Delay!

Hey Guys,
The pre-registration date for the car show, BBQ, etc. has been extended from April 15th to April 30th, so if you plan on attending the dinner, entering the car show or both, make sure you get your registration form submitted via email or snail mail.

If you use email, send the completed form to zdayz@earthlink.net and pay-pal your $40 to McDuckZ@earthlink.net.

If you use snail mail, include your check, (payable to Andy Morris), and don't forget to sign your form! After the pre-reg date passes, the price will go up to $48, so don't delay!

The $40 includes a T-shirt, entry into the car-show, and dinner for one at the BBQ on Saturday night.
