Oppo meet update!

Confirmed dates, room cost and I need a little bit of help.

The details

August 10-12th Fontana Village and Resorts

$260 per room for the weekend (Friday night / Saturday night) $130 for just Saturday

On the evening of the 11th we will have a car show, as well as a banquet!

I need some help with setting up the rest of the weekend, the current plan is to collect $20-$25 from everyone to get t-shirts / stickers and other goodies; any money left over will go to a charity. ( I’ll have more info on who that is soon)

There will be at least one hiking meet up (if that’s your thing). Some sight seeing and of course a ride or two around the dragon.

Things I need help with

I need sponsor/prize ideas, do you make t- shirts/ stickers that would be a big help! Are you a dragon regular and know the area well? I need you help setting up some events!

How to get a room under the special price . ”Guests will just call in to 828-498-2211 and tell the reservation staff they want to make a reservation with “Oppositlock Car Group 2018” as that is what the block is under. Everyone making reservations will need to be linked to that group.” - per the nice lady at Fontana

Can’t afford $260? There are camping locations on site. We don’t have a special rate for those, but if you get one, make sure they know your part of the group (it helps with the banquet hall reservation)

If you reserve let me know!

Thanks everyone let’s make this a great event!

Is it $260 per person or $260 per room?

Thanks for the update! I think the stars aligned and I can make this. Not much help in the sticker or t shirt department though but glad to assist if possible.

I’m still very much in the maybe camp and it’s not because I think it’s boring.

I’m in the 25/75 camp. Gridlife is that month, and I’m not missing that. It’s kind of a one or the other thing, financially.

I might be out of the country that month. Once I figure that out in a month or two, then I will know if I can be there. So I am in the maybe group.

I won’t be spending the night but I may be game for Saturday and the banquet.

I’m planning on splitting it with 2-3 other people from Oppo, so I’m in. Haven’t been to the Dragon since my college roommate smashed his Stang into a rock 30min northeast of TotG on Happy Valley Road. I’ve been itching to get my Miata back up there.

Oh, this is North Carolina? Well, shit, that’s pretty far for me.

02/13/2018 at 20:37

Set my reminder as to do but 20 or $30 is the least people could pitch in. Might help to have a list of people who register and collect on it.

Ugh, school starts on the 13th this year, so no-go for me.

You can get a campground stupid cheap there. Or also look at simple life campground, they have single person housing units for $30 a night. Ive stayed there its pretty awesome.

I wish I could live like within an hour of the Dragon but not have to live in the South. While the roads in my new home of Southern California can be just as good, there is something special about the Deal’s Gap area. Perhaps its just nostalgia that gets me but I really did enjoy my trips there.

If I wasnt on the opposite coast I would be 100% there. Just not in the cards nor do I want to rip it in a rental there lol.
