With as many of us as there will be on the Dragon, who the hell is gonna need radios? It'll be like that game you played as a child or at a keg party- "Pass It On!"

Lead driver: "Watch out for the deer!"

Middle of pack: "Watch out... I'm changing gears!"

Last driver: "You ain't touchin' my rear!"


I think the last two things I've said (screamed, actually) into my radio were "TRUCKTRUCKTRUCKTRUCKTRUCK!!!!!!!!!!" and "watch out for the cop".

I was driving up with the ATL group last year and we kept talking about these NASTY rednecks in front of us and how bad their truck smelled and we were all talking about how pissed we were because they were going so slow...........
then like 2 minutes later one of the old guys got on THEIR OWN RADIO and said "just hold on guys, we will get out of your way on the next stop off" (or something of that nature)
I about shat my pants when I heard them talk back to us!!!

classic WTD moment!

Neither really... they mostly go after lane crossers and people obviously hauling ass. It's a 25 MPH road so most anything fast is grossly exceeding the speed limit.

It's pretty rare when I think traffic cops do much of anything good though
