So how many Dragon Runs did you get in?
I was lucky and got into the Dragon Sunday night, I had all week to run the Dragon. I had 22 full Dragon runs and about a half dozen more partials. These include a couple with Chad and the run of my life with Killboy. "Justas" rule! Thanks Pat for being my Dragon Run buddy and to all the volunteers. Plate # MC 37

For many reasons, but foremost only 1 partial, North to South as I came in on Wednesday night.
I have run the Tail many times a couple years ago, this time I wanted to enjoy some of the other great roads. Next time I have a few more I want to try out.
On Sunday, I had almost a solo run out West on the Cherohala Skyway, now that was a good ride.

Once on the way in, once on the way out. Got radared both times but slowed down quick enough. After 7 years its all about hanging with friends now. We go other, less busy times during the year to drive.
I did several blasts from the Pit Stop to the dam to give rides to friends. I was the guy with the Cadillac.

This years event truly felt more like a party Dragon and less of a taming. I am certainly not complaining as I had a great time moving from cabin party to cabin party talking about MINIs, motoring and beer. I think Saturday I made it to 5 just going up Welch road ending with the group from Texas.
I made 4 runs which for me is more than enough. I think even with the large number of people that attend we are getting a good balance of people that want to run versus those that just want to hang out.

Glad to hear from you all. While Pittstop Mini Club does a couple events, I try to run the Dragon as often as possible. Burned a lot of gas up, figured I had almost 500 miles on Dragon this year! My "Justa" is really dialed in, tweaked the front Koni's by an 1/8 of a turn to reduce the oversteer just a touch and it was perfect and fast.
