I have a friend who has heard of the dragon, who would like to come with, he lives in Hickory NC. I would be driving to his house in hickory thursday afternoon, spending the night at his place, then driving to the dam on friday morning hoping to stay until sunday. Does this sound about right? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to have a plan as I don't take too well to surprises... Please be gentle with your responses? Thanks!

Jason hit the high points. The Dragon is a 30 MPH well paved road you can travel at you own pace. If the Gendarmes are scarce and reasonable, you can push your limits.
However.....
Most of the runs, whether on the Dragon or other routes are more like parades than autocrossing so itis easy to be gentle on your baby.

Just don't try to run with crazy guys like OleDoc2U and you will be fine.

As for the radio, I will be packing some extra units. Lay claim to one and it is yours for the weekend. See me Friday evening.

See ya there.
