We had a great time this year at Miatas at Back of the Dragon 6! We had 31 cars participating! We had a great drive to West Virginia on Friday, our Car Show Saturday morning, and then drove the Back of the Dragon and Burke’s Garden on Saturday. We had our raffle to raise money for the Autism Society on Friday night. We awarded trophies for the Car Show Saturday night. New this year was a Silent Auction for a gift basket from the Biltmore House which also was to raise money for the Autism Society!
