    Mountain Party at the Sicklers!!! July 20

    Another fantastic outing with minimal driving (hard to believe it, but that can happen!). It was nice to pretty much talk with your mouth full of food and catch up with everyone. Thanks to Todd & Pennina for another well executed all-day party. The fireworks, for those fortunate enough to...

    Tail of the Dragon 2013 and Other AL/TN Events

    Just got to thinkin'...we had a lot of long-time regulars that couldn't make it: Kricks, Skows, Armours, Beavers, Tollesons, Lucas, Jack Winter (which would have broken the existing "Winter"-as-las-name record), Harrigills, Scott Lanford, and probably a couple of others I'm missing. If Lisa...

    Tail of the Dragon 2013 and Other AL/TN Events

    Another fun event...can't help it with all the great people that show up here. Thanks to Joel, Chip, Todd, the Vickers, Morrisons and Ackleys for their hand in the events. As usual, some new friends and memories were made and the great weather didn't hurt! We crammed in an extra event Sunday...

    Tail of the Dragon 2013 and Other AL/TN Events

    Always liked the Fontana Dam shot and remember Stretch on top of the overlook's roof. With the elevation of the site, roof, and his height, it gave meaning to the phrase "doing something with your head in the clouds". Looking forward to hugging the roads at the end of the month (as opposed to...

    Tail of the Dragon 2013 and Other AL/TN Events

    Don't know about the "rest" of you, but I'm happy with my 2-way....and if that radio is broken, my wife can yell stuff out the window like there's no tomorrow. Wait... ...oh... Guess I missed the real gist of the conversation after reading further up. I'm ditching the radio and getting an...

    Smoky Mountain Fall Cruisin!

    WOW! That's pretty spectacular shots for this part of the country (color-wise)! Glad you hit it just right!

    Smoky Mountain Fall Cruisin!

    Looks like you caught the scenery at a decent time. About that 2nd SD card, would it, by chance be FULL of a BLACK VIPER from every conceivable angle? If you haven't noticed, there are more pics of your car than the scenery posted...not to be a spoiled sport, but you coulda done that at home...

    So...how was it?

    Smoky Mountain Fall Cruisin!

    There is a visitor's center on the way to Cherokee after you start going down beyond Clingmans's Dome. (NOT Sugarlands, which is just outside G'burg). Take the next left at the end of the large field and that will go to Maggie Valley. Plenty of gas & restaurants there. We went from Maggie...

    Smoky Mountain Fall Cruisin!

    Hey Ronnie! Your route sounds good, but you need to add a short stop at Clingman's Dome. Our schedule was too tight this year for the annual stop with that many cars, so at least go to the parking lot (there is a hike you can take to the overlook, but the parking lot is nice too). It's a...

    Road Atlanta - GTS-R Racing Oct 20th?

    For those of us still on a "VOI High", there may be a chance to get back together at Road Atlanta in 3 weeks for the LeMans. The drivers we met this weekend will be there with the GTS-R cars and there may be plans to get a Viper Corral going...news within a day or two. Any thoughts or...

    Post VOI gathering - da Beach?

    Another suggestion came today: Have Christmas at Guntersville State Park Lodge (with a cover band). We'll have plenty to discuss next week at VOI! Any thoughts?

    VOI 12 Caravan - Wednesday or Thursday?

    Looking at the caravan plans shaping up on the VOI 12 forum, I'm leaning towards the Wednesday trip across the Skyway with the AZ (and others) group.

    VOI Caravan Planning - Tail of the Dragon/Smoky Mountain Route

    OK..I'm in for the Cherahola with the AZ group...Rich, PM me your number and I'll try to hook up with you guys. We were above the clouds at this year's event and didn't see much of the SkyWay (well, we saw the Sky, but not much along the Way). Besides, my car still has some scratches and...

    Post VOI gathering - da Beach?

    Contrary to popular belief, VOI 12 is not the "do all, end all" for the year. We still have a couple of more opportunities with a Fall Cruise and Christmas. We're kicking around State Parks in Northeast Alabama for the Fall and actually are getting some favorable responses. Some information...

    VOI 12 Caravan - Wednesday or Thursday?

    This is just a conversation starter that has nothing to do with the weather or the welfare of your immediate family members. VOI is next week and I'm sure several will want to caravan together in case parts come flying off your vehicle (checking public records, this happens on every major...

    Official 2012 Tail of the Dragon Thread

    No, no August meeting...the VOI is too close at hand and with 17+ cars coming from the club, we'll have one of our biggest meetups in Charlotte!

    VOI Caravan Planning - Tail of the Dragon/Smoky Mountain Route

    Best time is NOT weekends. Mon-Thu is better than Friday...Saturday/Sunday is pretty much when the crowds come specifically for the run. Plan to hit it on the way so you'll know whether you'll want to do it again...also gives you a better chances at getting good weather (not that there's been...

    Ranch Get-together @ Little Feather Ranch , July 21 & 22 2012

    A couple of added notes: Like TowDawg, I thought the relaxing day was a great change of pace for our group....and everyone else seemed to like that too. As for the food, I ate WAAYYY too much because it was WAAYYY too good. The Ribs, rolls, Sinful, and the fluffy dessert stuff were my...

    Ranch Get-together @ Little Feather Ranch , July 21 & 22 2012

    Another memorable event! Thanks to the Sicklers for the hard work to make sure everyone had an enjoyable time. The food was too much! (Really!). The "Dudes" were a nice touch with music for the afternoon. It was especially nice of the Mazycks to make the 7 hour drive up for the...

    Ranch Get-together @ Little Feather Ranch , July 21 & 22 2012

    Just to confirm (see other note), there won't be a meeting at Watt's Bar due to the response...group coming up from the hotel in Dayton...time undetermined (there are several staying there Friday night and going up to the Ranch the night before.

    Ranch Get-together @ Little Feather Ranch , July 21 & 22 2012

    Looks like a lot of folks are arriving early, making the Eastern meetup at Watt’s Bar unnecessary. There will be a cruise meetup at 10:00AM CST in Manchester, TN at the Kangaroo Express gas station on the NE side of exit 111 off I-24. This group will drive to the Ranch from the Pikeville...

    Ranch Get-together @ Little Feather Ranch , July 21 & 22 2012
