I got one, super nice guy, he's on here somewhere.
There was a black Comp I saw pass me going the other way a few times, but that's it. We elected to go with a different group this year because the MVading group was insane last year. lol |

Looks like a great time. I love that drive! Did you hit any other roads while you were there?

Some of Highway 129, but this time it was mostly about the Dragon. Josh takes everyone on a huge drive, the Dragon is only a small part of it, but since we drove 6.5 hours to get there, and had to drive the same 6.5 hours the next day going home, we elected to just do the Dragon a few times. The Dragon itself is much nicer without a group, but overall it's best to be with a group I think.

Cool! My son and I were at the dragon the same weekend for my birthday! My M2 and his modified 2017 WRX! Ran the roads in the area for three days, great weather! The tree colors on the Blue Ridge Parkway on the way home we’re fantastic!
We saw the rally go by when we were standing outside the Deals Gap Resort, looked like about 30 cars with 2-3 M2s! https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/at...1&d=1666750050 |

Just got back from the Dragon again. Saw a couple of M2's, but mostly GTR's (it was their weekend I guess). Super beautiful weekend with a little bit of rain, which was great because it kept all the Harley's off the road!!
Just a few pix. The NSX was my favorite car of the weekend. Last edited by ///MPhatic; 10-15-2023 at 09:13 PM.. |

Never not fun to tame the Dragon!
It’s nine hours for me to get there, but totally worth it even for just one day. Last edited by IcewaterPete; 10-24-2023 at 11:16 PM.. |

That looks fun. Maybe we need to get a group together some time.

I'm considering it. Might see if my brother wants to bring his car or ride with me. What time does things get going in the morning. Looks like a drive up Thursday and leave Sunday? Or is it a leave Monday event? I'm guessing it was fun if you're going again
