My forecast: it will rain hard at some point, probably with some wind. It'll be humid. We'll get some sunshine. This is what it's like every year
UPDATE ON THE EVENT!
I was informed this morning that our track time has been changed from noon on Friday to 6 pm. We'll get our own run group while the Coker Tire tour is on track.
Also, we've been invited to the Coker Tire BBQ on Friday night. So there's your evening figured out.
I will give more solid information as I get it.

Safe travels, Keith & everyone preparing to venture out on the highways and bi-ways of this great nation!
Yup, We're checking into that hotel that same day. We've got a few trailers and stuff to park in the infield Thursday at 5 or so when they open the gates for us common folk, but we will be there at some point. I think Grassroots Motorsports are there as well. Should be an interesting parking lot, if nothing else!

Yep, staying at the Hampton as well.
Just rolled out, see you guys there. About 20hrs to go, expect to be in late Thursday. Pretty excited, brought the go pro and camera for some shots.
Also, have some tools, impacts, and a battery jumper, If anyone runs into the need. Didn't grab a jack though.

There is a really good BBQ place on the TN side of the Tail. Can't remember the name of the place, but I remember sitting next to a Ducati 996 used as a decoration. Also has a really cool big carved wood dragon to meet you on the way in.
Also stop at the motel on the NC end of the dragon and check out the tree of shame. The motel is at the junction of the tail and Moonshiner 28, another awesome mountain road.

As much as I don't like driving a dirty mutt I didn't wash my car figuring the minute I did it would start raining but the weather forecast isn't getting any better!
For a few minutes Tuesday night I thought I was not going to make the trip... https://www.v8miata.net/area-member-...207/#post14457
