I also got to enjoy ~45 minutes of clutch workout in Lexington, along with some other jam ups on the way home. Sorry I missed everyone at breakfast @ the gap... too much last night!!

September is far too far away

Left Fontana at 7:15am
Home to Sarnia at 10:45pm
Okay.... after a side trip to the Devil's Triangle again. That 116 is a great drive and not too far out of our way so we ran it Thursday morning on the way down and today on the way home.

Had a great time at RtD 2014.
Already looking forward to next year. Hopefully we will have a few more Canucks with us.

I left right after the banquet and drove to see my wife in NOVA. Left around 9:35pm, went through the dragon and witnessed a white 350z on it's side halfway through the dragon. The car was sitting on it drivers side door almost vertical. The guy was ok and looked really upset. Arrived at my sister in laws at 4:50am.

I had a great time besides realizing 10 year old front 050's didn't like the dragon so much. Lesson learned.

The Dragon was great, but the people that were apart of this event made everything spectacular and can't wait for another trip out.

Lastly, thanks to the drive leaders for not getting us lost! 95% of the time I had no idea where I was or what state I was in.
