The Drive
318 curves on the Tail of the Dragon. 43 miles of Cherohala Skyway. Blue Ridge Parkway vistas. These are the roads that made the gathering legendary.
The Gathering
What started as 8 cars in 1999 became a family. Born from the 3000GT and Stealth community, BRG now welcomes all makes — because it was never just about the cars.
The Show
The annual peer-judged car show is where your ride earns its stripes. Trophies across multiple categories — voted on by the people who know these cars best: each other.
