I'm home! ran into some rain about 10 miles from the house, so I won't be able to clean the car today. Maybe when Katrina, Karen, or whatever they've named this storm moves through. What a great weekend it was though. I want to thank Shawn for rooming/partying with me all weekend. I've never had so much fun off the road on a dragon weekend like I did this weekend. We also had some pretty epic runs. One was Thursday afternoon running through the dragon with Shawn chasing me down and the other was a pretty perfect Skyway run. We didn't have any traffic and only stopped so Mark (Pizzaguy) could catch up after receiving a speeding ticket.

Quck rundown.

Friday Shawn, Ken & Barbie (Joe) and I went to Pigeon Forge for some extreme go kart racing. Great track, just not much opportunity to pass. We also slowly made our way down 441 back to 28. Beautiful views, but a lot of traffic.

Saturday the aggressive group went to the Devil's Triangle via the Skyway. Poor Pizza finally got his ticket at a dragon event and someone in the aggressive group finally got a ticket. Amazingly enough I think only one crossfire received a ticket this year. According to the Gen Coupe guys they had 8 tickets by the end of Saturday night. Anyway, the triangle was a traffic nightmare. We had a few minutes to enjoy it, but for the most part we had a dangerous driver in front of us the entire time. Everyone seemed to have had a good time though, and Mark was very light hearted about getting a ticket. Oh and I managed to get people back before the boat ride. Sorry to all my folks for rushing them through the day, but I wanted to make sure we got back in time for those who had tickets for the "3 hour tour"

Sunday we woke up and took Ken and Barbie down to the damn and then tried to tear up Hell Bender. Sadly we ran into a group of bikers right out of the Tim Allen Biker movie "Wild Hogs", and they thought they were so cool that 10mph was fast enough and moving over was for chumps. This was going to be the status quo of my day. After saying my good byes I hopped in the Mercedes and quickly got behind a group of biker. Wear I stayed until pulling off at Tennessee side of the dragon to talk with a miata owner.

Anyway I want to give a big thank you to all of you who made this dragon one of my favorite dragon events ever.

THANK YOU <------- see it's all big like


BTW AKING57 is an Aussie if any of you didn't know.
