G35Driver - Infiniti G35 & G37 Forum Discussion - Run to the Dragon.. from Greeneville SC 11/11/2017

This is Memorial car rally for my friend's father who passed away. He was always very active in motorsports, and belonged to a Mini Cooper club. This rally is organized by that club, but all vehicles are welcome.

I'll be arriving in Greeneville, SC Friday night and we are heading out to the NC/TN area first thing in the morning.

Here is a copy from the original Facebook posting.

Hi everyone. We will be having a Don Western Memorial Run on Saturday Nov 11th. We are heading over to The Dragon to spread some of Don's ashes at the overlook.

You can meet us at the beginning, or anywhere along the way. Or meet us in Deal's Gap and run that old Dragon.

I'm looking forward to this trip to the mountains, and experiencing some car culture with good people. I'm taking my 10 yr old son with me too, so that should be fun.

As it says, all cars are welcome. Obviously I'll be in my G35 6mt coupe, my buddy Derek, whose father this run is for, will be in his Miata RF I'm pretty sure, unless he takes his Dad's Mini.

Come run the Dragon with us.. this group knows the area well, so it should be a lot of fun.
