Tail of The Dragon meet. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

240drifter1 · 03-13-2007, 07:59 PM

So were (240 people, or nissan at that) are gonna hold up a 240 meet at the Tail of The Dragon.
Im sure all of you have heard about it, 318 turns in 11 miles!!!

I just want you all to know, I would really like NO DRIFTING up there, its a public road with tons of motorcycalist (sp?), I would really like it if nobody got killed.

3rd weekend in May - that's when we are going to the gap
MAY 20th and 21st - we will be at the gap That's final - we will work out housing and events in early march

Once I figure out my password to the other site I have this on I will get more info up, I should have some tomarrow, if not, then by the end of the week.
Or, just look it up on nico, 5 pages stickied up in 240 gen.

Should be a huge turn out.
So keep on looking in for more info.

Ill have locations, meeting spots, and other stuff soon !!!

Im ready to test my new coilovers hehe.

I'm interested in this....I have read a lot about that road. I'm definitely down.

Please please please be careful up there folks and really stick to the no drifting thing. I was on my Honda 919 up there in october and narrowly missed being hit by someone drifting thier primered baby blue S13 with a junky looking front end up there.
He was halfway in my lane on a blind curve and had I been hit, I had nowhere to go but off the side of the mountain. I was just riding through taking it easy, but had it been one of these folks flogging thier $25,000 Aprilia through the curves, the rider would be dead.
