Lotus on the Dragon 2026

I will be bringing a 2025 Emira with the sport suspension and Cup 2 tires. Since I have not driven the Dragon, my wife and I signed up for the Touring Group. We are staying at the Fontana Village, hopefully many in the group will also be there so we can meet and great.

I signed up for the touring group (with my tour suspension) and will stay at Fontana as well. See you there!

Room is booked
 
Signed up! Booked at the Tapoco Lodge on a friends recommendation. Looking forward to my first time driving these roads.
 
For those attending this year's event, I've set up a meet and greet and coordination call that's being held tonight at 9:00pm Eastern. Here's the registration link for anyone that would like to join us, we have about 10 or 12 already I think.


This registration link will add you to the call roster and will email you back a unique meeting join link to your email. So please sign up ahead of time if you are able.

FYI the call registration list goes only to me and will be discarded after. So there's no PII risk.

Thanks for organizing, Jason. It was very friendly and helpful.
 
Has anyone received a "welcome" note or itinerary? I registered a while back and haven't seen any updates...

We were told we will recieve that about 2 weeks out from the event date.
I know Josh has been away, had some health stuff etc also so he is spread thin and not updating/responding as fast as he would like.
 
I registered for this event but had a late conflict with a business meeting. Was it recorded?
Don’t believe it was recorded but here are the topics covered. Also attached a PDF summary the meeting chat discussions.

This is a fantastic summary doc, thank you so much!
 
I did this in 2024 and 2025 and can attest Josh does a fantastic job of handling all the planning and logistics. $250 is nothing for 3 solid days worth of cool routes with great company. Hate to miss it this year as it sold out with a cap of 80. I hope there are several "pace" groups as last year it was pretty much one huge group. Honestly, the other roads are like the Cherohala Skyway and Moonshiner are more fun IMO. Hope everyone has a great and safe time! (Pic from yesterday at the 129 Hub.)

Weather does not look to be good at all for the weekend. Any thoughts as to if they might reschedule it. Can’t see myself driving 12 hours over for that? Pretty disappointing
 
On another note, i just called the hotel (Fontana Resort) and they are charging for the FULL amount of the stay if you cancel the stay. This is RIDICULOUS! I get a one night charge but certainly not he whole 3 day stay.
