Be safe and have fun the whole weekend.
First hand experience! Coming in from the west at dusk +30 .. we hit the start of the Dragon.. "oh this is going to be fun!".. right up till I hit that first left hand switch back that overhung a blind drop off.. Hard braking and tires squealing we made the corner.. And my wife let me live.. LOL.
