Will the newbie drive be like a down and back? Krystal would like to drive some of it but is worried about the speed

Yes... to the gravel lot and back, with a brief break at the gravel lot.

We will not be going fast....

OK... just to make sure everyone understands the Newbie drive....

Speed limit on the Dragon is 30-99 mph... not sure what it is.. Its based on driver ability!

We will be going (on average) 5 mph over....

In some of the curves, we may go in a few mph over the 30-35 limit.... but we will not leave you behind...

We want you to feel more comfortable behind the wheel... it is not a race ( I will win... I'm leading!)

1st time for me doing this.... so I am a Newbie also!

Anyone who does this drive, gets free bourbon Friday/Saturday in the lobby!

Disclaimer: If you have been to 2 or more events... the free booze does not apply to you!

Somehow I suspected there was some fine print coming.
