Hello everyone it's been a while. I wanted to let you know that the Chreokee Biker Rally is planned for the same weekend as the bash. I don't think this would be a problem by any means... just expect plenty of cows in the road. Also you might want to keep the speed down. I'll attach an e-mail I received last week concerning the dragon. It's been posted on killboy and several of the other gap sites but just a reminder. I won't be able to come for the whole weekend but might get to make an appearance on Saturday at the gap. I hope everyone has a great time and I hope I get to join you all there.
Here is the e-mail I don't know if it's real or not. If it's not real it was made by someone who knows the area. Either way have fun and becarefull.
Just went through my address book and pulled out some of you who might be interested in a note going around here in Tennessee. As many of you know the Dragon takes it's share of lives every year. Looks like the Law is going to address the situation on the hill!!
Not totally sure of this documents authenticity but thought I would share it and let you all decide for yourself. Below is a copy of the letter from a TN State Trooper.

"Hey, just to give you a heads up for next season----we have a new
captain in the Knoxville district which covers Blount county------ he has already told us that we will put a stop to the "race track driving" up on the dragon this year------so far what they have
said is that the speed limit is 30 mph and "ANYONE" caught going 50 mph and up
will be charged with reckless driving and will be jailed and their bike/car will
be impounded--- --I am telling you this because I am trying to put the word
out to everyone I know----or to people who know people that go up
there-----don't want to have to take people to jail for this---however I have
bills to pay and I kind of like having a job---so never the less I have to do
what I am told to do-----so the way I see it is that if killboy.com knows and
you know and dealsgap.com knows and whoever else can find out can pass this
along---it will benefit everybody--- -----feel free to copy and past this and let everyone
know-------if you get caught up there it is only your fault because I am
trying to pass the word along for everybody's sake-----we are not just
going to come up from the bottom like in years past---they are going to have us
go through Cherohala Sky Way in North Carolina and come from the top down to
the bottom----so no more free rides on your way back to the state
line----they are going to bring unmarked cars with radio's and have unmarked bikes up
there----this will be a joint effort with Blount county and the
THP-----The entire THP motor unit will be brought in 2 people at a time(for a week
long assignment) to be paired up with the local car----they plan on busting
tail at least 3-4 times right off the bat---then they will sit back and see
what takes place-----these orders came from Nashville Headquarters- --we have
a complete brand new higher ranking structure from the very tip top spot
down----they have said we will work until the problem is solved----just
wanted to give you and your friends a heads up.......
... SIGNED...
.......Trooper Cagle with THP assigned to Blount County Division---- (don't
come crying to me if you get busted----cause I'm telling you now)"
