Default Sunday (10/23/16) on hwy 28

Hi guys/gals...don't mean to intrude as I don't have a Honda but I just wanted to compliment a group that I got caught in the middle of from the intersection of 129 and 28 (where the dragon starts) on the way back to Fontana Village on 28 around 10:45 or 11AM Sunday morning. I was the little red Fiat Abarth that got in between the 3 leading S2000s and the other 2 that had gotten delayed but caught up. Once that white SUV decided to pull over, you guys/gals rocked! That was some fine driving and I hope I didn't hold the 2 behind me up too much. Y'all stayed on your side of the road and while fast, you were safe. Just wish every group that comes to the Dragon area would display the roadmanship and discipline y'all did.

Safe Travels

Doug

cross the double yellow and there's trouble. no doubt you don't need to cut the corners and in fact, a better driver staying within the lines. I went to kindergarten and can stay in the lines.

Thanks for posting this Doug. Our group is anal about proper conduct behind the wheel.

Darcy, I know you stay in the lines but if you would just think outside the box and leave sooner, you could have a lot more fun.
