Not hit a mountain or go off a mountain should be high on that list. Be careful speed up there can hurt you real bad. I know from experience.

Maybe Ken and I should be come the SAFETY MEETING COORIDINATORS for DBR and WTD events in the future since our f*ck up. And just demote Patrick as safety coordinator. I did learn one good thing from the mishap. Don't take a young Canadian along for a ride and do something the car can't handle. Driver error was in full effect for this one. Be safe people. I guess I will not be asked to do the newbie run again. Later BD

Ok, how about no?! You were asked to be part of the official S2ki Safety Committee SEVERAL times by high ranking officials, and declined candidacy each time. You being a sponsor is already bad enough

To be part of the WTD and BDR Event Safety Committee, NOT the BL Safety Committee, Sir. Thanks for your input once again.

There's only one safety committee on the dragon, sir!

By the way, go ahead and edit your post, otherwise, it looks like I said that (and it's "DBR" not "BDR" )

Thanks everyone for the advice!

I stayed at the Fontana Lodge, and got the slayers discount (would have been really expensive had I not). I also made sure to grab a Dragon Burger, which was fantastic. I saw a few s2ki shirts hanging up and I got a big laugh out of it.

Looking forward to DBR in September. The g/f is trying to make sure she can get the time off work so we can take her car.

Getting in the area with a number of S2000's to hang around with is a fantastic time....
