Well just got back from spending the weekend at the "Dragon". Could not go for the rally but got away last weekend. The road conditions are wonderful, cool in the mornings, fall in full swing.

Friday, no LEO on the course, light traffic both north and south. Had some good runs but got bracketed in twice, once by Camary's and once by Harley's.

I stayed in Franklin and the drive from there to the Dragon was almost as much fun, not as tight but higher speeds. Premium gas was readily available in Franklin.

Saturday, woke up early to hit the course at daylight. One LEO at the north entrance. Traffic built up steadily.

The LEO moved to the south end of the course and caught me doing 38 on Crud's corner, he had moved from the north end. Threw some attitude my way, I figured oh well, I budgeted a ticket into my trip costs. Asked me what the speed limit was, told him 30, asked me what I was doing around the corner, told him I had no idea. Told me I was doing 38 and said he could not imagine what I was doing on the straighter parts. I told him there was no reason to speed on the straigh parts since you will just have to hammer the breaks in the corners. Well, it would of been a $200.00 fine but he let me off with a warning. Whew.

Premium gas was tight over the weekend in many of the places I drove by so fill up when you find it.

I never knew how amazing my SRT can corner when you go into tight turns. Wow.

Have fun everyone, don't speed, no reason to really, if you want to fly, go south into NC on 28, no LEO's and much higher corner entrance speeds, but be careful, almost met a camper van around one hair pin corner.
