That sucks to hear, hope everyone was safe. Worst thing about these Dragon events is that there always seems to be a couple owners who can't drive home their cars. In 2015 , 3 S2000's didn't make it home. The field is thinning out from incidents at these events

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em...2013

People forget these are public roads. Too many think its a race track. I always see lots of tailgating which leaves no room for error when I am down there. It's just stupid to do with so many blind corners. But hey...it ain't my car insurance.

Other thing to remember is that in a lot of cases, other vehicles cause the issue.

There are times where it is the S2000 owner, but not always.

Does anyone know if Ed is OK... did he have a passenger?

Ed decided to do a loop-de-loop on the Cherohala and put a neat racing stripe down the passenger side of his car. He's okay and the car was driveable but will need a set of bumpers, a fender, possibly a tail light and a lot of metal pounding. One of the perils of trying to keep up with Billman is that sometimes you're better off NOT trying to keep up with Billman.

Thanks Phil.

Quick reminder, the hashtag #WTD2016 via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter will show a nice collection of pics.

Also, let's remember to be sensitive with regards to car accident pics...I recall someone getting a bit touchy about it in the past.
