Default RTD 2018 - Newbie Drive

If this is your first trip to the Dragon or maybe it's been a couple of years since you've attended, you should join the Newbie Drive. Lead by bama Dave (David) this is a guided tour of the famous Dragon and tips and tricks to keep you safe and make sure you have a good time. The Newbie Drive will meet at the Wildwood Grill parking lot, have a short drivers meeting and then on to Hellbender to get you warmed up to drive the Dragon. Check the whiteboard in the lodge for the exact time to get together. Post a message here to sign up.

1. Bama Dave (David) Leader
2. vortamock (John)
3. DFW_GPW (AJ & Art)
4. Jumpman2k (Dewey)
5. adrs2k - (Adam)
6.. Birdybog (Scott)
7. steve_ray(Steve & Ina)
8. kgf3076 (ken)
9. JoePhotographer (Jamie - Bringing up the rear)

Hmmmm... I might have to sign up for this, unless the crazy Canadian takes the roundabout way back to Fontana, or Franklin!

Could always use a few tips from Bama!

If the crazy Canadian is leading the group... I know I'd be lost as he talks in metric!

The only tip I have is to steer clean of that guy that always says "Is it time to go yet" he's just trouble and I'm not talking about the board game. And sorry I think its in km or kilometers.

Haven't been to the dragon (or autocrossed) in about 10 years and never in an S2k. Proly not a bad idea to humbly sign up for this drive. Which day is this for?
