Here is probably one of the best Dragon videos ever shot from one end to the other
This is a video of Jared Barnes on his 2008 yamaha r6.
He is one of the fastest people at deals gap, the dragon, us 129, or the dragons tail what ever you want to call it.
He rides for US129photos.com racing team.

OMG, OMG... Fantastic running! Didn't wreck but a couple of times tires squealing, and some skidding/drifting... Kept up with the big dogs in my NA... Those curves sure are srt equalizers sometimes... Now if my girl will just forgive me for abusing her so! Time to drink!!!

Had a good drive in through Kentucky and Tennessee and arrived at 3pm yesterday.
Friday night in the lodge was really nice.
Talking with everyone and meeting some new faces etc.
Today we had a great twisty run under the sunny skies in the mountains.
Back now for some down time before dinner and then the party begins for the evening.
Another nice day in the forecast for tomorrow and another nice run is planned for the day.
KIM, I REALLY MISS YOU !!!

These will be posted on their website after the weekend concludes in a special link "Crossfires"
For a flat rate of $45 you can order ALL the pics of ALL the Crossfires taken over the entire weekend.
These are very high resolution photos and a great value to have all of them for this low price.

I helped myself thru my XF withdrawal by attending a nice car show with 6 other XF's down here today. Nice show, great weather & super people but a bunch of curves would have made it that much better!!
How long is it until the Spring Dragon??? Someone needs to post some pics!!!
