Re: 5th Annual Fall 2011 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - Sept. 30, Oct 1 & 2
I'm back from my adventure. Last Thursday the car felt very nervous, never really getting into a groove until I hit Hell Bender. Friday was better with a long run down the blue ridge parkway, but still didn't feel like it should. Then Saturday comes along. I must have eaten my wheaties that morning because the car was as solid as it's ever been. I blazed a trail down Cherohala to the Devils Triange and back to through the Dragon. Sunday comes along, I'm still a bit hung over from Saturday night partying but we decide to make a run through the dragon a few times, drove over Cherohala and went home.
The car got better, and the only thing that broke was the passenger side seat belt. It somehow locked up on my passenger and wouldn't come unlocked. Rudy was there from Speed Driven and he fixed it for me. What a nice chap.
To:
Mark (pizzaguy) You did fantastic. I still remember the first time you came up and the turning left and right concept was completely new to you.
Jim (BigKid) All day Friday I was salivating looking at your SRT. That thing is clean. Just keep those bloody pipes closed. OMG they were loud lol
John (JHM2k) I'm glad I finally got to run with you. I missed my chance last fall and regretted it. Classy as always.
Steve (32Krazy) If anyone should get the most improved award it should be you. You took those turns like you've been doing them all your life.
Jason and Kyle (I don't remember your screen name lol) Once again we seemed to be leading the aggressive pack. I enjoyed it as always and couldn't ask for a better couple of people to hang out with all weekend.
Tom (Tom2112) the Mini rises again. When we were coming back through 28 Friday, with you leading Jason, I was doing all I could to keep up with you. Please bring the SRT next time so we can at least keep up with you.
Thanks again, Dylan and I had a great time and look forward to see you all again in the spring.
