as you can see the dragon is 129 as all of you know but has anyone gone out and tried 143 and 165? it looks interesting. and i'm going on the 15th of this month. if it's useless then i won't waste my gas money on it.

Not sure about your question, but the Cherohala Skyway is beautiful.

143 & 165 is the Skyway.....Awesome drive...Did it @ the Dragonball. The road takes you to Telico Plains. Take 360 to 411, then back to 129.

Not a DBR ?? WTD but should be lots of fun.

DBR06 was my first S2000 event but definately not the last - see y'all at WTD and hope to see some of you in Destin.

If coming to the Destin Super-Meet look me up -S2000 2005 New Formula Red - Handle S2K-Dragon (Phil)


The S2000/NSX Super-meet in Destin, Florida is happening on Nov 11, at 10am at Henderson Beach.
Here is a list of the activities we have lined up so far with more updates to come:

Saturday:

Poker Run
Food
Professional Photographer and Models
Vendors
Radio broadcast
The Unveiling of the Baddest S2000 ever built

Sunday:

A long cruise through the area

This will be a great time for S2k/NSX owners to mingle, talk shop, and hang out with other S2k/NSX owners. This event is taking place on the beach, so make sure to bring your cameras. We are working on getting cheap hotel rates, from a reputable hotel that is about 300 yards from the meet. There are plenty of things to do in Destin and many, many great places to eat.

Like I said, Saturday is going to be the unveiling of the baddest S2000 ever built, it is unlike anything you have ever seen, all I can say is you won

Re" take advantage of Killboy -- I bought mine from him, and I hope you did the same.

I bought two photos from him and he sent me a nice series of photos of my runs. Cost him nothing, and he earned my repeat business for sure!

Just hang in there....! They get better the more you go. The Wake the Dragon event, is usually the biggest of the year. Lots of us are just getting the "S's" out of storage for the season. That makes for a LARGE showing..!! If you think the DragonBall was something...just wait till this Spring..!!!
