    THIS IS THE DRAGON CUP

    DragonCup.jpg



    Hand-blown glass. One of a kind. A treasure to commemorate true hunting greatness. Nestled deep in the Smoky Mountains lies the Dragon Cup. One skillful soul will emerge the possessor of the Dragon Cup through talent in driving, solving clues, and finding objects around the Tail of the Dragon. Or maybe just a little bit of luck.

    The Cost: It's Free

    The Time: The hunt begins Thursday, May 3rd at 10am, or anytime thereafter--but don't let others get a head start on you! You can register on the MOTD website this Saturday.
    What you need: any kind of digital camera (phone, or otherwise), and if you want, a partner or two.

    The Hunt: Once you register, you'll get an envelope with a list of things to find and photograph. Once you have the list completed, visit the Helix tent, and hand in your completed card, The winner will be announce at the Farewell Dinner. Hunt immediately or whenever you want--before, during or after other events!

    You can sign up HERE on the MOTD Website

    Questions?: Call Helix at 267 335 4337, or email [email protected]

    I have it on good authority that this trophy is one of one hand blown glass.

    From what I've been told the Dragon Hunt is a set up to be a lot of fun.

    Enter early...Enter Often!

    How, exactly does a hand blow glass? Shouldn't it be "Mouth-blown glass?" :D

    Yep, touching 2000 degree molten glass with your hand smarts. You do get incredibly close to the glass with your hand at times: separated by just a few layers of wet newspaper when shaping it.

    Is that what that is? Guess this hunt is for non Juata owners. We don't need an extra one of those. :lol:

    None of the above! That's a Plus 8% (larger than stock) prototype for our TurboKompressor kit.
