Vito, Nopi is on 17th and 18th of September. The, most likely, NC trip will be on 15th and 16th, thursday and friday. and we will probably stay at the hotel in robbinsville unless eric found somewhere else to stay
This is a sticky topic.

ok things really have to get moving on this trip. here is what is planned as of now.
September 15 - Leave from south florida and drive to NC. In NC we will be staying at a hotel TBD.
September 16 - Drive the Tail of the Dragon a ouple times and then head south to Atlanta, GA. I have been looking into a few different hotels that are a little closer to the speedway. one question is if we want to get normal rooms which have 2 beds or if we want to get suites which generally have 2 beds, a pull out couch, and alot more room. You would be able to fit more people in each suite which would help to reduce the cost of the room per person.
September 17 & 18 - NOPI Nationals duh.....
I will be reserving the rooms until the 18th and we will check out then. If you plan to stay longer you would need to work that out on your own. so the decision i need everyone to make is weather we want to stay in normal rooms or if we want to get suites. please post your choice ASAP!Eric Johnson

I'm happy because Dima speeds, which makes him happy. He seems to be happy only when speeding, which makes me happy. And when I'm happy people around me are able to live another day. If you are alive right now, you should thank Dima.

each suite has 2 beds and a pull out couch. so you could have 3-5 ppl per room if you want. one issue that has come up with using the suites is that they do not have a way for us to wash our cars at the hotel. there is a car wash 2 miles from the hotel, but i personally would prefer to be able to wash/wax my car at the hotel. for this reason i am looking into probably staying at the same hotel we were in last year. it wouldve been nice to have a change of location, but it would be better if we have all the ammenities that we require. i am still currently working out pricing, but i will post it as soon as i have a definate cost.Eric Johnson

I liked that hotel we stayed in last year. It had an Irish pub and a Waffle House within walking distance. Like I was saying before, I paid for my own room so I could run around naked. This year I will also get my own room so me and my very expensive escort can run around naked while we dance under a cascade of cheezwiz.Tony

Waffle House is the ****. That is one of the reasons I love to drive vs. flying. You can't get hashbrowns prepared 1,000,000+ ways on a Delta flight.Tony

i would prefer NOT to stay at the hotel we stayed at last year. i have stayed twice there allready and another time at an extended place half a mile from there. I am tired of that area and the hotel and would prefer to stay somewhere else
of course i do agree that it would be nice to have a hook up for car wash on premises.i think eric should call a few more places. even if they don't have a dedicated car wash area, they WILL have a hook up for a hose somewhere outside and when we rent possibly 5 rooms or more, they can give us a break and let us wash the cars.<B>Dima</B>

Just thought you guys might find this a little motivating as well as amazing how far technology came.
click on the link. it will show you the tail of the dragon on the map. it starts at the bottom of the map where US129 crosses the river and makes a sharp right. you guys will remember the spot from last year, we took some pictures there of the dam from this bridge. And then it goes up to the Chilhowee lake where (i believe) we stopped to rest and turned around.
Now click on the "sattelite" link and you will see an actuall satellite image of the tail of the dragon, the same exact spot you were viewing earlier as a street map. of course most of it is obstructed by the forest of smoky national but its still fun to check it out.
Then you can zoom out and click on south florida. you can find your houses and also switch from map to sattelite view of your neighborhood, towers, etc.<B>Dima</B>

just a crazy idea i am throwing out. what if we leave wednesday instead of thursday. we'll have a whole day (thursday) for tail of the dragon and part of sunday to "explore" NC or north georgia? of course we all have families, work/school and money issues so i doubt this will happen but i will certainly like to have an extra day for the road trip. i love road trips<B>Dima</B>
