My one regret was not thanking Raul in person and shaking his hand. Sorry Raul, we missed you on the way out!

Yes, I have several regrets:

1. I regret that the Dragon is so far away.
2. I regret that W1ingman could not make it.
3. I regret that I did not get another run in.
4. I regret that the "revenue enhancement group showed up"
5. And last but not least: I regret that I did not meet more people in person to put a scene name to a face!


I don't regret the 1250 miles that I drove. And I certainly don't regret meeting the people that we did meet! We had a great time!

Oh, I also regret having all 100+ attendees make fun of me for having a name like Saab9-3 when I went up to accept my prize.

Regrets:
1) Not meeting more people
2) Not having done all the previous Dragon events
3) Not being able to do the next Dragon event in September (I will have just gotten back from a week's vacation in Nags Head).

Next year - definitely!

See ya',
Bryan

Hmmmmm......there aren't many regrets, but here are a few:
1.) Not enough runs on the Dragon
2.) Parking too close to a certain person who couldn't control a car door
3.) Not riding along as a passenger w/ someone who really went all out on the Dragon
4.) Not bringing eye drops

Can I add that I now hate living so far away from TN?!

I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone say that....
Glad I live in Nashville!

Raul...

You should do a run up to Clingman's Dome, in a later event. That road was awesome!
