Bigger garage for sure in a adult lifestyle community. But at this point just looking. (Old Fart Heaven .... somebody else shovels my snow and mows my lawn)

I'm registered as well now too. Kerry and I were talking about heading out on our own for the first few days as we need to get booking and most people are still on the fence. For those who are registered please let me know what your plans are so we can get booking a place to stay for the event.

Took a week off. Plan on cruising with Byron and Derry blue ridge parkway. Looking forward to this. Be a few years again before I do this. No more every year.

My only concern would be the salt thats still on the road. How do you guys prepare your car for the trip?

Edit - I'm leaking on my oil return line to the turbo.

The event this year is the last week in April. By then the weather here is usually good and the rain has washed the majority of the salt away. Besides if you wash your car thoroughly when you get there ( which we do for the car show) and wash it again when you get home ( which you will because it will be filthy) it's fine.

We normally hit the dragon in July but am making an honest effort to attend it this year as it's my last opportunity to do so. The biggest issue is getting the time off work.

How many people do we have registered so far?

Anyone else?

Still debating. I can probably get the time off, more a matter of taking the car out that early like 7_rocket said.

I figure we should get there by Monday for sure, but it's cheaper to book the cabins for sunday to Sunday as they give discounts for a week rental.
