    2019 Spring FIAT on the Dragon happens May 2-5


    Who is ready to sign up for the Spring FIAT on the Dragon?

    We would love to see a record number of FIAT Spiders in attendance this year. We should have about 150 FIAT and Alfas joining the fun.

    What is FIAT on the Dragon?
    FIAT on the Dragon is an organized driving event for owners of all FIAT and Alfa Romeo automobiles new and old. Our event covers some of the very best roads anywhere. The Tail of the Dragon is one of our main attractions along with the Cherohala Skyway and Devil’s Triangle. The FIAT on the Dragon goes beyond a traditional car show and is all about experiencing the cars, making friends and sharing stories of the road. The proof that we have more fun than anyone is how dirty our cars get doing what we love.

    Each car will get a participation decal to display proudly. The registration includes lots of benefits including tee shirt, name badge lanyard, dinner for everyone in your car on Saturday night and a weekend membership to the FIAT Club America that can be converted to a yearly membership.

    We will be sharing some of the changes coming this year, the first of which is the date, now being held on May 2-5!

                                  Thanks! Once I get my plans locked down, I will hit you up for more details. Sounds like we could all meet up in Lexington somewhere (maybe for lunch) and then caravan from there on down together! That sounds cool.

Guess I'll try calling them back in the morning to ensure that I get a room at the host hotel where all the festivities will be going on. Now - for more details on joining up with the VA Caravan??

                                          We have time to work out the details. We're still waiting to see how many of us there will be. But, there will be different meet points. Maybe some of the DC Fiats too.

                                              Copy that. It MAY be possible for several of us from the NOVA area to meet up PRIOR to meeting the group coming over via I-64.

                                                  This spring is going to be great with the FIAT on the Dragon happening in May! It is always great but hopefully this year it will be a little warmer
                                                  Who on this forum is planning to attend? I would like to get our forum members together for a photo op if we can coordinate things. Be sure to look me up when you check in so we can make plans for this.

                                                  Register here while you still can. When we hit 150 cars, I am closing the registration. We are well over 100 cars now, don't take a chance waiting.

                                                      I started a map before that shows where people are traveling from but it had a limit of points. I decided to build one in Google Maps that is unlimited. Please update your point of origin. You can even add a photo of your car and customize the point icon if you wish.

                                                      Click here to add to the map.
