Yeah...I gotta say this one has me a tad miffed...I have been running the Dragon for a long while and I think I've run it pretty hard at times...multiple runs without a break and as WestSideBilly suggested, you'll have brake problems loooooooooong before you'll experience diff issues.

10) Before your 1st run, torque your lug nuts and check tire pressures.
11) Don't have anything loose in the driver's compartment. (cameras ect...)
12) There are other great drives in the area if the Dragon is busy (LEO'S) Hellbender 28,Cherahola,Foothills Parkway are all entertaining
13) This is not a race....there is no prize money......or trophy at the end for FTD
14) Use your head

Some of these are not relative Popeye...for example...#13) WestSideBilly did win in 2003 as "Slowest S2000 on the Dragon." He won the new N'Sync CD (or was it Backstreet Boys??
) and was awarded a trophy...
And #14?? C'mon...don't be so greater than thou!!

15) Leave the beer/alcohol in your trunk or room. There is no need for it. The drive is enough of a rush.
Besides - you don't want the glass to break in your trunk! 
Popeye's right about clearing out loose items. I recall discovering a water bottle I forgot was under my seat on my first time down there - and I wasn't even going that fast.
