  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Coupes: GenSport United 2013 Spring Run of the Dragon

Updated from SoberJ's GenSport thread on another forum...

GenSport Carolinas was founded in 2010 with a primary goal of creating opportunities for owners to network socially and explore performance driving environments to be competitive, and simply for fun. It has now grown into a Genesis Coupe owners community of several hundred members across the US and Canada.

Join the Group: GenSport United | GenSport Carolinas

The "Tail of The Dragon" is one of North America's most well-known motorcycle and sports car roads. This stretch of highway on US 129 in Tennessee and North Carolina contains 318 turns in just over 11 miles and no cross-streets. Thousands of drivers come from all over North America and beyond to drive this road every year. The road is often covered with professional photographers and nice rides!

Spring Run:
On April 4-7 2013 we will hold the 3rd Annual Spring Run of The Dragon and would love for each of you to join us. We're all staying at Fontana Village, which is nicely located at the start of Hellbender (another nice road) that takes us to The Dragon.

We had a great trip in the Fall, with close to 100 participants, as well as our first international Genesis Coupe owner. We introduced Gensport United and the idea of bringing together the Genesis Coupe community to learn from each other and develop new relationships. SFR, Invision Auomotion and SixSpeedGraphix were on hand, with SFR providing tunes, and all vendors giving away products and services. We also had several other vendors contribute to prize drawings and free swag for registered members. We would like to thank Discount Tire, PRW, ARK, Diode Dynamics for contributing to the community.

Note: We strive to have an awesome time with great scenes and great people. These mountain roads are plenty of fun at speeds close to and under posted speed limits. If you decide to push the limits you are taking a risk of a speeding ticket or a crash. By no means do we encourage anyone driving beyond their comfort zone!

Event Info and Registration:
As we continue to try to provide the best experience for this event, we are always looking for feedback from the participants as to what they would like to see at the event. We have a registration form that we ask all attendees to complete with contact information and basic questions to coordinate the activities of the event. We will be once again offering t-shirts for the event.
