Default My Pix of the July 12 Dragon Run

Hey all!

Thanks for another great Dragon event! I had a blast as usual, despite that 18-wheeler trying to take us out in our lane! Classic!

Mike/Jeff: Thanks again for the traditional caravan...we must get that 'magnetic field' checked out coming out of Lexington

Here are my pictures of the event:

I don't have time to post video clips right now - gotta catch a plane! I'll try to do that when I get back from SanFrancisco in a week.

Look forward to seeing everyone again at the Fall event!

- Hiro

Thanks for the pics Hiro! Sorry you had to head back so soon - sounds like you've got a lot of irons in the fire right now.

Great pic's Hiro!

Lets see if we can get a larger caravan for the Sept run. There has to be some other OH/KY/IN people around would are crazy enough to do this!

You missed an uneventful drive home. Jeff & I ran 80-85 for the most part, with minor bursts of speed to get around people.

See you in Sept!!

We normally head down Friday morning. Leaving Cincy around 8:00-9:00 in the morning so that we get down to the hotel around 12:30 or so. Then off to the Dragon for some Friday afternoon runs before the weekend traffic gets there.

Would enjoy having you guys along! Just make sure you put a speed/rpm restrictor on David1's car!! I think that guy is crazier than I am!!!

Haha, is that right??? I thought you two were pretty evenly matched!

One of these days, I'm going to pick up a Valentine 1 for my highway cruising. Would we be going through any states that restrict radar detector usage?

Thanks,
Joe

Nope!!!!!!!!! Its legal in all!!

Me... as crazy as David1..... no way...

On the Rt 26 drive.... I had to drive about as quickly as I could so David1 wouldn't tap my rear bumper!!!!

It wasn't my fault that we made it to the end of the road 10 minutes before anyone else....

And remember..... he was the one that passed 4 cars on a curve... not me!!!!!!!

Hey, I don't know if any of what you claimed is true. I was probably 3 cars up from the back of the pack!!!
