Well folks another successful dragon run in the books. We had a total of 19 CR-Z's show up from 12 different states! I got to meet a lot of new great people and I'm glad everyone took time out of their busy lives to come hangout all weekend. We had a few mishaps this year, but all in all it was a great meet. On to the individual shout outs!
Cyeung (GA)- Chak Attack! Our third dragon run together! It's always good seeing you and I'm happy you showed up again this year. Your getting better at slaying the dragon every year and I'm glad you like the new intake.
Alan bunch of numbers (IL)- Thanks for coming out again this year, I'm glad you were able to stay and hangout for longer than 1 day this time.
Item9 (FL)- One of the O.G. amigos. I had a good time hanging out this year and I'm sure we will meet up sometime later this year.
B-rad (IL)- The other O.G. amigo. Thanks for meeting up with me in Lexington and cruising down to the distillery before we hit up the dragon. I'm sure ill see you at a track event later this year.
Jen-from-il (IL)- We didn't get to chat much but it was good meeting you. I'm thrilled you and the other gals showed up and participated in all the activities that I had planned this year.
Cincrz (OH)- Kicking bombs in the drunk kickball game! Thanks for making the trek this year and come on back next year.
Realtallshorty (TN)- The car looked good as ever and the lugs stayed on this year! I'm sure I'll see you again in 2015

Numberoneoppa (FL)- Josh Josh Josh...I can't even really make fun of you this year. Sorry for destroying your J's lip and bumper but I think the lip needed to go anyways... haha. I hate to say it but your becoming a better driver every year. Cant wait until next year
Romiata (VA)- Another regular for the dragon meets! The mugen beast looked good as always. As like everyone else you have got better at slaying the dragon this year and kept up with me all weekend. I think next year you'll be doing circles around me LOL!
Hondaholly (NY)- Oh Holly....what to say. Didn't get to chat much but thanks for coming and also having the BF help out in the kickball game. I'm sure we will hangout more next year.
Shawnfrontier (MI)- Nice meeting you this year Shawn. Im glad you and Kyle played a round of disc golf with me, it was fun.
WendyH (MN)- Wendy you were cracking me up the first day you showed up haha. I hope you had a good time staying in the cabins with the other gals. I'll have to spend more time hanging out with you and the other girls next year.
Meatguy87 (FL)- Good meeting you and your wife this year. Thanks for cookin up the burgers on friday night and playing in the kickball game. Hopefully I'll see you next year.
Remc86007 (FL)- The only red CR-Z! The stock car handled great and it seemed like you had no problem hanging with some of the Dragon vets. Come back next year and stay in the cabins!
Kenju1 (GA) - HPD man! The car looked great in person and cant wait until there is a SC underneath the hood!
Varmint (MA)- Thanks for making it out this year on short notice. We had a pretty good round of disc on Friday evening. I'm hoping you can make it out next year so we can play another round together.
Tulacat (GA)- The man who brought his brand new CR-Z down to the dragon! Thanks for hanging out and joining in on the kickball game with us. I'm glad we took home the W for Team CR-Z!
Also, I would like to thank College Hills Honda and Turbokits.com for donating a bunch of various swag items. Another shoutout to Killboy for the awesome photos and videos. Last but not least I would like to thank Steve (MorningZ) for being so nice and hooking us up with cheap cabin rates and letting us join in on team-integra's activities.

These are all iPhone pics so they aren't the greatest.
I made it back as well I left at 640am but took a bit longer than it normally does, having to pull off when I started to get drowsy... 500 miles in 10 hours I have finals this week, but I'll try to contribute some pics and videos next week. It was absolutely great meeting everyone and I'm sorry if I didn't get to say goodbye, but I hope it's more of a "see you next year" :grin:

An inside video of a run up the Dragon to the overlook... We have a cameo appearance at around 9:20 It ends at 12:35 ish.. don't mind the last 5min unless you want to hear us talking outside :tong:
You'll get a glimpse of some of the things you'll see: oncoming traffic, bicyclists, photographers, the sun Lol
Also, that is CinCRZ behind my that I spoke to briefly during this run and at the top. We had like 6 or 7 CRZ's for this one. Forgive my music at the beginning and the GoPro chatter

The video should be public now...
Some cell phone pics I took, that google was kind enough to make into a book Kinda scary how it does that: picks the photo's and edits some of them, adds maps, times, etc.. Cool, but scary Lol

BTW that fog stuff is called The Smokies
By the count of those who came to Fontana Dam for group photos, we had 19 cars. That is almost double the number of cars we had last year. We encountered a few patches of bad hospitality; but unlike those folks, none of us feel the need to compensate for anything. By the way, joke's on the coal rollers... their engine gets damaged a bit every time they do that.
I learned how to drive my car again this weekend. Thanks go out to Carzee, who gave my car its first powerplant mod (K&N SRI), and "The Infamous Dave," for riding with me and coaching me on how to better take turns at high speeds. Honestly, I could not ask for a better group of people. Here's to a bigger and better meet for next year! Y'all can count me 99% in already!
Here's my video of a clean Northbound run. I will upload my photos as soon as I can.
