Got to Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort Wednesday at 4:30, 11 hours from central Florida. Unpacked, sat on the bench in front of my room, stared at the Dragon, and thought "no time like the present ", and did my first blast on the Dragon. What a difference from my slog on the Interstate.
Left on Monday after doing maybe 15 Dragon runs and countless runs on the Cherohala Skyway, 28, etc etc etc.
Only got stopped once on the Dragon, a quick, friendly warning for 40 in a 30. Tennessee cops were cool, NC cops, not so much. As long as you're no being stupid, no problem.
Saw Wheels Through Time museum, stayed with friends on Lake Norman, am now in NYC visiting my son and old friends.
Before I left Statesville, my friend, a MATCO distributor, hooked me up with a visit to Long Road Racing. I got a personal tour from Alan a Long and met Glenn. They were building their 153rd Miata.fot 4 different series.
I sat in her son's racecar, saw the build process, and was happy to meet such nice and dedicated people.
Going back to Lake Norman Saturday, partying through Sunday, back to Florida Monday.
Already have my reservation for next MATG XXII August 1-5, 2018.
Pictures later;my room is at the Tree of Shame.
What everyone else said, DO IT!!!
