Here is the official info on the April 27-28 Tail of the Dragon meet.
Here is lodging info.
Rather than trying to force people to book cetain things, I located a few optons for you if you need lodging accomidations. You will need to book as soon as possible due to the closer to the dragon and PF you are the faster they fill up. I had to call a lot of a rude places to filter out some half way decent places for you guys.
Everyone is leaning towards the Holiday Inn. These are the closest to me and they are all right off the interstate, there is some variety in price.
