Tell that to my wife who hit 99 mph on the Foothills one year!

And I know we have ran it at extremely high speeds a number of years ago (two Atlanta people - Davy Jones and Mr. Marvelous), and still run it 15-20 over most years!

I'm still surprised you came back after your first trip with us....

Seeing all of us having a meet and great with Ranger Rick.....

I told him at twice... that I was the lead car (hoping to save the others from tickets, cauz I'm such a nice guy!)..... but he kept saying "I don't know who was the first car"..... 35 cars pulled over, none of us got a ticket!

You had to have been thinking... "these guys are a bunch of nuts... and going to get me into trouble!"

Actually, now that I think about it, he's doing us a favor by telling all the other tourists to stay away! Genius! Share with all your friends NOW!!!

You guys are just speed demons wherever you go, so that doesn't surprise me. lol

I recall hearing about a couple of newbie Canadian drivers getting caught speeding on the parkway few years back, they got raked over the coals from what I heard.

I think Brett got his words mixed up, this was more like the worst Dragon video.

This guy goes out of his way to hate everything about the Dragon. Making fun of the Deal's Gap motorcycle hotel just means that he really doesn't get it. People in GT3 Porches aren't supposed to like that hotel, let alone stay there, it caters to thousands of people who do like it and that is all we need to understand.
