Default Drove the Dragon this weekend - Awesome!

Went with the Tampa NASIOC group to Dragon this weekend. Although my cage wasn't installed in time, I had a great time! Car ran beautifully at 15PSI (over 320RWHP) and my dad came with me. The Nitto NT01s are AMAZING in the rain and ridiculously sticky in the dry. For those that don't know, this car (as it sits) is around 2300lbs.

Picked up 1 warning on day 1 and a ticket (54/30) on the Dragon (which will be framed and mounted next to a blown up picture of the car!

Absolutely WONDERFUL trip!













Fontana Dam Village Resort (great stay!)

And now driving the Dragon!





(Yes I had to buy motorcycle gloves - need to order some cool oldschool leather driving gloves to fit the look!)





















LOL

Yea I can't stress enough that you guys make it out there and make a weekend out of it! Its just gorgeous and a ton of fun.

The white '10 GT in the pictures with the gloves is a couple I ran into at the hotel bar the night before. We ended up hanging out all weekend (my dad came up from SC which made the trip even cooler).. I'll tell you what - that Mustang was pretty impressive in the corners (GT500 wheels, brakes and minor suspension mods).

So much more fun to ride it instead of drive it. Pure sex on a bike!
