I'll be there too.

Wouldn't Saturday 11pm by May 3rd?

There is a HUGE pull-off about a mile north of Tabcat bridge that would accomodate about 400 minis, with a very cool view of the lake. (and room to safely do a little impromptu drag racing, should the need arise ) It's on the left, inside a long left-hand sweeper, with bathrooms.

Thanks for the nod last year Darryl (BELOW)! Can't wait to get back to my favorite little stretch of road.

Darryl,

I'm sure you don't remember everyone you talk to but we talked for quite a while (like you don't do that all the time....lol)

Here's a couple of pics you had taken. The first one you should remember the car only because it was sideways in about every turn...lol

Nassau blue blown C5 corvette.



Sportbike.




Never been up there in the mini, I'll make sure I stop in and say hello.

Mark

As many times as I've been to the dragon, is the general store the store by the "tree of shame"? or the one down the road by fontana village? (where you gotta make a left at the tree of shame (if it's on your left)

Thanks,

Mark

Yes, but don't forget to mention that you will cut people off, pass before they have a chance to get to a pulloff area, and blink your lights and honk your horn until they move out of your way like an *******.

You did the first to me, and the rest to my wife during the midnight run...I heard your got a ticket, I hope you lose your license for being a menace.

Um, when was this? I ran ahead of everyone on the Midnight run to direct traffic, and got behind a line of 6 cars on my way back, whom I radioed to politely asking for them to pull over so myself and the 3 cars with me could pass.

They pulled over 1/4 mile or so later, and I waited for everyone to get over before I passed by them, I may have merged over the yellows a bit to add a bit of room, but in no way did I run anyone off the road. If I honked, it was a "thank you" as I drove by.
