It was awesome. The whole way there I'm wondering how good a road can be to drive 10 hours. 12 in the rain on the way back. It's something to experience. After my first run, I was shaking because of adrenalin.

The drive was worth it. It's an eye opening experience. I'd do it again but would stay longer.

The people are friendly. The event, well organized. The driving experience is intense.

There are pictures all over the Dragonball forum. I broke my camera before I started so i don't have any.

Killboy.com should have highlights up soon. And pictures of the whole weekend should be up sometime in the middle of the week.

Not to knock the Dragon but, you can drive 1~2 hours to Pocono Raceway, pay $200 (you spent that on ga$ and lodging) and drive as fast as you want w/ NO chance of a speeding ticket.

Worst case scenerio is a 100 ticket but honestly didnt feel a bit theatened by the cops. They were actually pulling over SUVs more the s2000s. Plus there is something about the 200 foot drop on the other end of the turn.

Yea, you rarely get to safely pass a Porshce or a 'Vette safely at the Dragon.

I've never been a fan of these huge meets with drives attached. Too much speed, too much ego, and too little run off I'd go down for the social scene though, I bet you'd meet a lot of great owners that you only see on the boards. If you just want to drive awesome roads, save yourself the time and hop on over to West Virginia which as some of the best paved and twistiest roads in the country I am becoming a larger believer in the "save it for the track" attitude. After some of the pictures and stories I heard this weekend of rolled cars and broken legs, hopefully others are thinking that as well. I'm glad everyone made it back safe and sound, now post your pics!
