2012 Dragon RAT Raid?

After attending the 2012 Ozark RAT Raid I am interested in the Dragon Raid, but I am having trouble finding information anywhere. Can anyone post the particulars or a link to a webpage?

I would like to ride up and meet some more Triumphrat.netters, but I am finding it difficult to get information. All I find on here are a couple of dead threads about people trying to figure out how to get there.

OK... I found the webpage:

http://www.thedragonraid.com/

Still it would be cool to post on here if you are coming. It looks like the Iron Horse is booked up, where is the overflow hotel/motel?

I'm coming down for it. But, I'm not sure where I'm staying. I'm coming down with either one other guy of three or four, so I don't know whether to get a room or a camp site somewhere.

I look forward to meeting up.

I am planning on going but its sounding like at work they are going to move me to another crew so that screws everything as I wont be able to go to any of them anymore......Really sucks thats why I haven't registered yet. Time will tell. But you will have a blast there as there is no bad road around down there

You might know this all ready. This site is our local RAT Pack site.

http://www.BritRider.com. Rick Sine one of the contacts is our pack leader.
Hope this info helps.

I'm really hoping to do this. If I'm alone, I'll have the Bonnie, if the misses is with me, then the Rocket Touring.

The Tuskeegee Hotel is located about 3 miles from the Iron Horse going toward Deal's Gap on Hwy 28. The MicroTel Hotel is located in Robbinsville about 14 miles from the Iron Horse. There are also a few other Hotels nearby.

Don't forget about the Two Wheel Inn in Robbinsville. They have indoor motorcycle storage for each room. Barry and Linda are the owners although I think they've retired actually working now and have someone else running it. It's not exactly close to the IH but just as close as the Microtel.

I'm pretty sure I'll be heading back down. Had a great time at the Ozark gig and that trip had me at the Dragon/Smokies twice. Great area to ride and I hear the Smokies calling me back.
Can we pitch more than one tent per campsite? Anyone know? I'll call the Ironhorse, just curious. I did ride in there to check it out this spring and it didn't look like there were all that many campsites.
