I'd gladly spend a few hours with Dragon n00bs on Thursday or Friday... things to watch out for, areas NOT to speed (gravel lot, overlook, the gap, etc), etc.
My concern there is that the people who would want to do something like that probably aren't the same people who are drawing the ire of other users of the road.

And while I am no noob, I would really enjoy the chance to have some of the Vets run me through the Dragon. I know I would learn much.

This picture should be blown up and passed out to every registrant, maybe a poster-sized one shown at the driver's meeting.

I know you are right! People's egos just plain get in the way of knowing their limitations. for me - no ego - I long ago learned that before you lead the pack, you have to learn to follow the "big dog". It's either that or stay on the porch.

After we got thru the Foothills parkway..... we stopped at the bottom of the Dragon and had a talk with the people who hadn't been on the Dragon before....
'Also did it the following day.....
Tried to take care of the new people that we brought along.....
Maybe that is the best way to do it...... have the "caravans" talk to their own people.... ???
