that was so much fun I really enjoyed meeting everyone. I really got to learn more about what kind of peoples are behind the teg. I am going to have the ITR swaybar in before next dragon according to everyone its the best 150 bucks you can spend. I really enjoyed hanging out with everyone it was awesome having dinner with you guys. I am siked for next year. I need to put some money aside for my exhaust,wheels/tires, and swaybar and more to come. I was surprised at how many people came. It was awesome hanging out with everyone cant wait for next year.

It was great meeting all the people i didnt get to see or who ever was new to the dragon this year.

Thanks to all who helped on Ant's trans drop to change his clutch.. That was a pain but he made it home ok..

Ill have pics ill put up later but for now we just got to the hotel, were still 200 miles from home.

-Amanda i still never got a cupcake..
-Malhon, i never got a chance to talk to you afterwards about the whole tuning discussion we had eariler..
-Sami it was great meeting you, sorry i wasnt around to hang out more!
-Georgia crew.. awesome seeing you all again! Good time as always.
-Steve it was great riding with you and catching up on the dragon..
-Mike(shore96teg) Awesome awesome time.. Shirtless guy was priceless and the SAME damn lady still working at that gas station.. haha
-VA Crew thanks for joining us for the ride down to the Dragon! It worked out GREAT!
-Greg(tsugsr) Great meeting you in person! Your party rocked!! To bad we showed up at 4am..

All the rest Thanks for making this Dragon an AWESOME time! The skyway cruise rocked and we suprised the workers at the dam during the picture with how many cars where there. They added Team-integra into their log that they keep. Lets keep the history rolling!

(Sorry if i didnt get everyone) Tiredness has kicked in..

Drive safe everyone!

I just got home, myself. Stopped off in Richmond to have dinner with my sister on the way home. The drive back was uneventful, and I only saw one cop the entire 600 miles!

I had a fantastic time. Thanks again Steve and Dave for doing this...I hear this event is like a fine wine. I'm already planning for next year! I've got a few hundred photos to siphon through, but for now...SLEEP!

What an awesome time guys. I HATED leaving, and almost wish I would have stayed a bit later for the Dragon to dry up (as it seemed it was going to after I had finished the fun part.) Glad to hear everyone's gotten home safely and whatnot. I'll be posting up pics sometime within the next few days, so I can do some editing and whatnot, but in the meantime here's a small shoutout to some of you.

Steve - Thank you so much for everything you did to make this happen, although I'll most likely not be able to attend next year, I had a BLAST this year and hope to go again. I really had the intention of driving as little as possible, yet the only time I found myself in someone else's car was with Peyton on Friday.
Peyton - Thanks for giving me my first experience with motion sickness in a car. You drive like a bat out of hell. Not to mention the ton of lol's (and Yuengling) you provided throughout the weekend, especially when you discovered Masood's iPhone. And don't forget to fix that fuel cutoff, I'll have to get tested again to see if you did a better job.
Amanda and Joe - The cupcakes were phenomenal, So thanks for making them and toting them around in a cooler for everyone.
James, Nick, Masood, Trish, David, Greg and anyone else I"m missing from the TX crew - Glad to finally meet most of you, now I can put a face with who I"m talking to in chat. Sood, hopefully I'll see you in April at FDIC, James/Nick, way to leave Ketu and I out of the loop by leaving Saturday night. lol.
Ketu - Was super nice meeting you and rooming with you.
Malhon(just like you're mailin' a letter) - Thanks for the convoy (although you were late lol), It made the trip down a lot easier. I still have someones radio, so if they want it back just lmk and I can mail it or whatever.

And to everyone else I'm missing, thanks so much for everything, everyone was super cool the entire weekend. And thankfully we had NO Integra to Integra contact!

Are you serious?!?! From the previous pictures I thought it was a custom paint job. Looks like Laguna Seca Blue (M3 paint) from afar! Haha!



What's going on here?! Haha, Caught in the act?

Looked like a lot of fun guys!


Lol I don't know how many times I had to answer the question "how long did that take you" and "how many rolls did you use?" So with that said, here is the OFFICIAL (because I'm tired of repeating myself lol) NUMBERS.

Rolls: Roughly 4.5, I used 2" and 1.5" Scotch blue painters tape.
Time: I'd say somewhere between 6-8 hours, although I did it over the timespan of a five days.

And that's me beside Peyton's car on Friday, so I was probably feeling a bit queasy after he demolished the dragon in his almost completely stock GS-R

Well that makes me glad the 45 minute WAIT for a reservation discouraged me to eat there and go to the ever-so scrumptious Grill instead.

Home sweet home....

- 2061 miles round trip

- 7 or 8 Gas receipts of around $22 to $25 each

- 16 hours straight of driving today....

- My Pioneer radio's Navigation is now dead for good (it suddenly stopped being able to triangulate it's position)

- One killed tire, which REALLY could have been a major disaster if it actually was given the opportunity to blow out (DOUBLY worse since it wasn't even me driving at the time)!! I'm a moron for not inspecting them more carefully before the trip... the "glance over" I gave them a month ago when installing the LCA's simply did not cut it

- More gray hairs on my head than ever before from organizing this madness

- Another meetup where I for sure forgot more names than I remembered (sorry, I'm bad with names, nevermind that many names over such a short period of time)

- Maybe 10 hours total sleep since Weds night

- 2 of those mornings with a hang over worth making note of (the worse of the two is all Nick's fault for giving me 4 ?? shots of Jager AFTER I had had many beers.... not a good combo)



That's all the "bad" for me the past few days, but it was all worth it 10000x times over if everyone that showed up had a good time, and I would go through it all again, as I feel I would be doing you all a major dis-service if you drove all that way just to have some sloppily put together event go down..... I'm pretty proud of what went on this weekend and the results, despite the fact almost twice as many cars showed up than I even hoped, never mind expected

I'm guilty, and a lot of times, of taking for granted the loyalty and excitement that the general membership of this website has.... this weekend is a big "refresh" of reminding me of that


That's all for me now, as I pretty much just wanted to complain on how tired and worn out I am, I'll post the "good" recap tomorrow at some point..... I was bouncing around so much this weekend that I only took like 20 pictures, but i'll see if i have anything different worth posting

But *after* a bunch of beer is the only time you *want* jager :P (I know that's how it is with me, anyway)


Sounds like it was a good time. If I ever have the opportunity to make it down for one of these, it sounds like a blast, but I don't know if it's in the cards.

I will be home tomorrow, i just got back to Toronto lol... still have 6 more hours drive tomorrow. Currently uploading pictures to photobucket.com

Few things i learned from the Dragon:
- Need bigger front sway bar
- Need stiffer rear spring, DF210 is great for DD but was still understeering at the Dragon...
- Need better suspension, maybe full coilover
- After i took a ride on a member's 400hp integra, i think i am gonna go turbo. Dark side had me. :O (btw, who was that member? lol sorry i forgot your name, i just had the vivid memory of your turbo kicking in. XD)

Oh man, on my way back, the Dragon was so creepy, i was driving down the 129, the road never end!!!! lol...

haha ya man, I wish we hung out more, we were always somewhere different lol


Everyone was super awesome on this trip, you couldnt ask for nicer ppl! Z is very nice, and fun to talk to when he has a second lol. Dbkid, or Josh is funny and great to chill with, Malhon's car is so fast that it draws in bee's in flight to the passenger and then stings you, yes I got stung by a bee riding in Malhon's beast! AND YES I SCREAMED LIKE A GIRL.......
