What is GTRvsDRAGON ?
•The GTRvsDRAGON event began as a simple idea in 2022 among car enthusiasts in a chat group and has since evolved into one of the most anticipated annual meetups for GT-R and Skyline owners:
•2022 - Humble Beginnings: The first event was organized by Marc Floriani (Designer), Mason Copper (Marketer), and Kris Parker (Organizer). It brought together around 20 cars and 40 participants, setting the tone for future growth.
•2023 - Rapid Growth: With over 100 cars and 200+ attendees, the event outgrew its original setup and was moved to Fontana Village and Resort to better accommodate participants.
•2024 - Resilience Through Adversity: Despite the challenges brought on by Hurricane Helene, the event welcomed 200+ cars and over 500 attendees. Organizers used the occasion to collect cash and supplies for Western North Carolina and East Tennessee communities impacted by the storm.
•2025 - Looking Ahead: The 2025 event is expected to be even larger, and this year’s gathering will include a charitable component with donations going to the Blount County Rescue Squad.
•GTRvsDRAGON has transformed into a major destination event, combining automotive passion with community support. We need to thank all our passionate volunteers and vendor partnerships, we really can not make this happen with out them.
