I always encourage my customers to go to a large empty parking lot, late at night, in the rain. Drive in a circle until it starts to slide, and just keep sliding. You will find the limits of the car and learn how to drive out of them. Loosing the rear of the car is completely second nature to me.

The greatest thing about the dragon is that this is the place where I learned my last phase of car control, and its quite simple. The dragon allows you to drive through the exact same turns, over and over, without ever touching the shifter. You can do the entire dragon in 2nd or third gear, and never clutch or shift. This allows you to learn the dynamics of DRIVING only, without worrying about car operation. This is where you become a kid in a go kart. By taking out other dynamics (clutch, shifting) you will quickly learn this dynamic one on one.....leave your ego home where it belongs, and come see what the event is all about.
I can promise anyone reading this you WILL be a better driver when the event is over. Not to mention making a bus load of life long friends and memories. There will always be threads that discourage the bad points...the other 98% of the event can't even be put into words.

I couldnt agree more billman, this amazing road has made me gain more confidence with driving my S or anyother vehicles and my driving abilities have improved dramatically. I won't say that I know my limits or the cars limits fully (i think i will understand them more when I do autox's/track events) but I know atleast the basics of it. The best part of this event is the life long friends that you meet and cant wait to see again and also memories
