The email has been sent out to the registered participants for the Fall FIAT on the Dragon. We are within a couple of cars of closing up the registration so if you plan to come this year, please be sure to get this scanned and I will forward the hotel reservation and event details to you directly.
This year, we offer a thrilling driving adventure limited to just 20 cars! You’ll receive a personalized name badge when you arrive on Thursday, November 6, at the hotel.
Please note: You’ll need to book your own hotel reservations promptly, as rooms are limited and details are shared only with confirmed participants. Please let the person taking the reservation know you are with the FIAT group, and you will get our rate and be part of our group block.
