Blue E92 · 08-31-2019, 08:30 AM

I don’t have an m3 but Ill try to make it out there! Perks of moving within 3 hours of the dragon for work.

wfdeacon88 · 08-31-2019, 08:56 PM

Tempting to make it for the first time...

m3jala · 09-01-2019, 11:18 AM

I have some logistical challenges this year though may change that last minute. For anyone on the fence, this was a great get together. Good people, good runs, good organization, good ground rules keeping everyone safe.

Getlit, even though I may not make it thanks for keeping it going. Have fun everyone.

So we are getting closer to the dragon run! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again and also some new folks! I have some great roads for us to run in addition to the tail of the dragon. Please send me a pm if anyone has any questions about the trip!

Nisfro98 · 10-15-2019, 01:07 PM

I'm interested. Just bought a E92 from a forum member a few weeks ago. Nice roads around here are sparse. I will try to commit by Nov 13th.

Does everyone stay at the same hotel?

thasuperdude · 10-15-2019, 03:09 PM

What up Folks? I hope all is well. Count me in, but I'll rolling louder this time in my 5.0 . Don't hate

Did the shirts ever get produced for DR 2.5? If not, I have some designs we can get rolling on.

MightyM3 · 10-15-2019, 03:22 PM

Just visited the dragon on my way to the Porsche experience, see pics attached. Count me in for a second run!

Hey, glad you’re going to make it out, even if you’re not in an “m” car. We won’t hate on ya!

Didn’t bother doing any shirts for the 2.5 run. Yes we need to do some shirts for the 3rd Annual dragon run. Shoot me a pm and we can get it rolling!

thetastelingers · 10-22-2019, 06:40 PM

I'll be making it!

Add me to the list.

PAMMMV8 · 10-23-2019, 03:49 PM

Hey all, I had a great time last year running the "Tail". It was well worth the trip from the North East. If you have never run it, your missing a great ride!!!

Unfortunately, I can not make this year's trip. Have a great time and hopefully I can make it work in 2020.

P.S. Keep the HEAT on for BOOF. It's way toooooo warm here!!! LOL

Why late Nov? Is it because its less crowded and there's little to no motorcycles? How have folks summer tires fared in the past and what were the conditions? I only have one set of tires.

Hardly any traffic on the roads there in late November. We pretty much own the tail! Lol ......
Summer tires do great. No ice on roads yet, just cold! I think everyone that ran it last year and the previous year were on summer tires.

G60nut · 10-27-2019, 07:22 AM

I'm planning on making it as well. Is there anybody rolling down from the North East that wants to caravan down? Im in NY.

The first year, I wasn't on sticky tires, but last year I was and they did fine.

They get warm pretty quick up there.
