Wookies In The Woods is an annual gathering of Volkswagen .:R32 and Golf R enthusiasts from all over the country at the infamous Dragon, US-129, in Robbinsville, NC. The Dragon, which is known internationally for its 318 curves in eleven miles, is the United States’ number one motorcycle and sports car road. For the past 9 years this get together of friends from around the nation has been organized, promoted, and run by members of our active and growing community.

Wookies started in as a reference to the sweet rumble of the R32 exhaust note echoing through the Great Smoky Mountains on a a dark, desolate night. What started in 2007 by an enthusiast group from the North East ( NorEast R ) what was originally a two day event centered around the 2004 Volkswagen R32 and attended by less than two dozen Golf R32′s, has now grown now to over 120+.

With the addition of the Golf R in 2012 and MK7 Golf R in 2015  the numbers will only continue to gRow.
