Event Location
Our event is located in the Event Center at the Fontana Village Resort, positioned right beside the Wildwood Grill and across from the Putt-putt Golf Course. You will not miss us with our 20 foot Rennsport Dragon Rally banner!
This Event Center holds 400 people, so that is the capacity of our events. Depending on single versus couple registrations, this usually works out to being 200-250 Porsches registered.
Registration Check-in
We will open our Registration Check-In the Thursday before our weekend at the Event Center at the Fontana Village Resort. We start our Driver Meeting first-thing Friday morning, so we advise arriving on Thursday. We will have our check-in open Friday and Saturday mornings for those arriving late.
Here you will receive your Event Maps. Event Shirts, Swag Bags, etc.
Driver Meetings
We start each day with a mandatory Driver Meeting. Here we will go over our day’s itinerary, safety rules, and what to expect during our daily drive.
Technical Support by Eurotech
We have attendees travel from all over North America to drive with us, so we want you to feel comfortable pushing your Porsche for three days. Eurotech of Knoxville, Tennessee is our Premier Sponsor for 2022 and is here to support your Porsche should the need arise. Eurotech has Porsche Macan support vehicles that follow our drives to be available if you have an issue. At the end of the day, Eurotech will be available to answer your questions or concerns about your Porsche, run diagnostics, or help out however they can.
Event Photography by Killboy
We have partnered with Killboy Photography, the original photographer of the Tail of the Dragon. Their team of photographers are stationed along the Tail of the Dragon to capture your bucket-list drive, and have been doing so since 2001. These guys are the best in the business and have been featured in dozens of magazines, books, and even on The Discovery Channel, History Channel, and Travel Channel, We have their photographers along with us for all of our events, so we are able to capture photos for you that no one else gets in the area, on roads no other photographers cover. Your photos are included in your registration and will be emailed to you the week after the event.
Social Events
We will have several social events during our three-day weekend. We conclude our Friday drive with a Welcome Dinner at the Event Center and Saturday evening we will always have something special planned.
Media Coverage
We have several photographers and cinematographers at our events to capture our weekend. From epic drone footage of us taking over the Fontana Dam, to photographers riding along our routes filming video and taking pictures of us driving the greatest roads in America, you will have access to tons of footage.
Dam Photoshoot
We take over the Fontana Dam for an epic photoshoot during our events. With this many Porsches we have made it into a rolling parade of 200+ Porsches, completely covering the dam.
At 480 ft, the equivalent of a 50-story skyscraper, the Fontana Dam is the tallest dam east of the Rockies. It is located on the Little Tennessee River and makes for some unforgettable views.
Fuel Stops
We make several fuel stops during our drives and never go over 100 miles between stops. This is not only an opportunity for a restroom break, snacks and gas, but an awesome time to catch up and socialize. We have had attendees say our gas stops were some of their best memories from the trip. It is like a rolling Cars and Coffee when we bring our cars through some of these small towns and take over their gas stations. This is a great time to meet like-minded Porsche enthusiasts, talk about the drive and discuss the insane roads you just completed.
Car Wash
We will have professional car detailers of StraightShot Auto Detail on hand to offer quick washes after our drives. After 200+ miles of mountain driving, our Porsches are covered in bug splatters and brake dust. This is not included in your registration, so make sure to bring some cash.

If you choose to wash your car yourself, the Fontana Village Resort has a car wash area on their property.
Decals / Windshield Banners
One of our drive group leaders also does custom windshield banners! Matthew Leach has the ability to print these banners in custom colors to match your Porsche or offer contrast for an eye-catching look. He can even change our S in our logo to a Dragon to enhance the look. These are purchased directly through Matthew Leach and the price is dependent on the customization.
