I stay away from the dragon. Especially running with a bunch of people that I don't know.

I will only run the Dragon (already done it once this year) early in the season once April and May get here forget it. When we ran this last year 120 cars were sent off about 20 per group. You are given a map of the course and the card pick-up locations. There are 5 stops to pick up your poker cards along the way...so what happens is the cars get spread out over the course. Remember this was the course for last year... this year could be a completely different run. It is much better with 2 people one driver and navigator. I only got in trouble on the Skyway trying to run down a crazy BMW doing 90 mph...he left me I quickly backed off from those speeds. Most of the riders have some common sense. Some real nice cars run it.

This was a fun event. Minus a little tire rub on the rear fender, the camaro ran great. Looks like I need to roll the rear lips a little.
