OK, young grasshopper, if your forum name means Easley, SC, then you have only a 2 hour drive each way.
You will learn things like "wax on - wax off"
There might also be one or 2 guys there that will show you how to run the Dragon .....

Oh I know - been waiting to link that picture for a LONG time.

I really didn't realize the steepness of the grade along that part of the Dragon.... until seeing that.

More than a few XF owners baking their brakes (OEM NA) didn't give it away?

Looking for someone to share the room and split the cost.
Post or send me a PM if interested.

Found a flattering picture of my fiance while coming into the dragon this past fall... I'll let you be the judge of whether or not I can talk her into coming with again.




Kinda foggy going out Sunday morning but got a few nice photos of the car. You can't tell but she's screaming for me to slow down in that shot too. LOL

The lady I was seeing from the office last year? NOTHING phased her!

The lady I am now seeing? She'd be reacting like in Rudy's picture if I took a curve on the Dragon at even 30.

Kinda think I'll be alone at this Dragon, like all the others.

I didn't even look at the photos from last dragon. Do you think there are any of you and your fiancé in my 55?

Can't the mods do something?

The asshat in the Mercedes cap is talking about his '55 on a forum for Crossfires - this is ruining my enjoyment of a heroically - earned day off.
