Very well done, all I would add is:

1) It can be, sometimes, hard to determine which group you belong in if you have never been there before. If you arrive Thursday or early Friday, you can run around with those of us who get there early and after telling us what you think of the pace we set, you will know what group you belong in. I ALWAYS run the Dragon two or more times on Friday - you are welcome to come with me to see what you think. (I am very much a "moderate"; if I bore you, you need to run with Nick and if I get away from you, you should go with Jonathan or Micheal.)

2) If the pace of a group is too much, please fall back (pull over and let others by) and take up the tail - do not drive beyond your comfort zone - we've only lost one car on the Dragon EVER and seeing someone wreck makes interesting stories but ruins the weekend. Don't worry about us getting too far ahead of you - we will wait for you at the next turn IF we don't run into slow traffic, in which case you will catch up anyway. (And we ALWAYS meet slower traffic.) If you are struggling, we can tell, and if you drop back you don't look bad - you earn our respect. Several times in my early Dragons, I'd be 2 or 3 cars from the back, all over the road, throwing gravel up, driving a lousy line and I had to be told to get in back where I was not a threat to another car's finish. Do not be offended if something is said to you; and remember, there is NO greater feeling than to hear another driver, two years later, tell you how you have improved. I was a horrible driver at first - now I lead the moderates and almost keep up with Nick.

3) My first Dragon I drove the entire Dragon at 30mph and had a blast - so read 2) again! I have had a great time over the last four years learning to drive - enjoy the journey and don't expect to keep up with Nick (Aggressive/Pants on Fire group) on your first Dragon.

4) The weekend is named "Tail of the Dragon" but remember that only about 5% of the miles you drive over the weekend are on the Dragon - so don't let all the talk of the Dragon bother you.

5) Read RED DOG's post again about bringing a radio - it greatly enhances the fun of the weekend and you will know: why we are stopping/where we are going/about that dog in the road ahead, and you can request a restroom break if needed. Several times I have heard, "I sure wish I'd brought a radio..."

6) First timers make the weekend way more fun - so thanks for being here!
