Friday, April 10th - Lots of Dragon driving. Be sure to check out the surrounding roads for a great time. Most people arrive today but you are always welcome to arrive earlier. Plan to attend the Registration gathering which will be held at the ball field in the evening. Along with great food and friends, you can pick up your registration packet. The registration packet includes your event credentials. Be sure to wear your name tag to join in (this will serve as your MEAL pass for Friday and Saturday night and admission to all activities). Lots of great times and food to be had.

There will be an early registration and "First Timer's Orientation" and "Dragon Buddy" ride-along on Friday morning. Check the final itinerary for exact time and meeting location. If this is your first Dragon event, you are strongly encouraged to join in and meet other first timers and learn tips on driving the Dragon. Various group drives will also be going on during the day on Friday most of which include a stop for lunch along the way. Friday night is the Cookout on the ball field (included in your registration). There will be lots of good food and great friends. Come early to renew old friendships and make new ones.

Saturday, April 11th - The MONSTER ROLLOUT - The official "DAY" of the event. We'll roll out from Fontana as a large group - a great way for video lovers and those wanting pics of all the gathered cars to fill those memory cards. Dragon driving...and lots of it is on the agenda. We'll have a group photo at the end of the Dragon, and then you can check out a variety of Group Drives (these will be organized drives on various roads surrounding the Dragon) that will offer lunch options. If you choose not to do any of the drives, you are welcome to continue driving the Dragon, explore the area on your own or go back to relax at the lodge. Dinner will be served in the Rec Hall below Fontana Village Lodge. We'll enjoy dinner with a recap of our event and a presentation to follow. Following the banquet, we'll meet at the Gunner Cabin Fire Pit and rehash the weekend.

Sunday, April 12th - Say goodbye to fellow S2000 enthusiasts. Some folks will be driving the Dragon, but the majority will be leaving on this day.

We look forward to seeing you on the Dragon!
