Soarer, you should take the Lotus on the dragon soon. And BrianT, I don't know how active you are in the MR2 community (at least, I think you own and MR2), but you should check out Strong Stock 2006. Includes a day at the Dragon.

Tenn. Gatlinburg itself is one of the better vacation spots there. almost every hotel view is the mountains and they have several things to do at all hours. Cherokee NC is nice and has some nice (different) attractions. West Virginia has winding roads but pretty views.
anyone who drives aggressively knows to stay off the parkway... or at least not drive over the speed limit there.

)I hear that 250 and 33 into W. VA are pretty fun roads.
