yep, me (jeremy, v1) and my girlfriend, rick, and jeremy (v2) went out friday night for a run. it was definitely fun, but we weren't trying to tame it, just out for a nice drive. it was great meeting you guys and i'm sure you noticed after about a half a curve that we weren't interested in trying to keep up. we'll be back

Great meeting you guys too. That's the best way to do it. When you start driving out of your comfort zone, that's when bad things happen. Were you guys still having trouble seeing around those left handers on the way back?

On another note - thumbs up for the Star Specs alovell and I were running. Killboy even remarked the he was surprised we were getting the kind of grip we were, even in the rain. I highly recommend them - perfect tire for the Dragon, day or night, wet or dry. Don't want to think about how they are going to be in the snow up there though. Probably going to run something a little better for that starting in november.

Guys, I'm kind of dissapointed. While I wasn't a DBX participant, I was in the area this weekend visiting some family. I was out both nights and was kind of dissapointed that nobody came up from Fontana to drive at night expect for Rick, Jeremy, and Jeremy on Friday night. My buddy and I ran until about 1am Friday night and hung out with Killboy and Killgirl until about 4am on Saturday (yes, we ran even in the fog and rain).

Why did you guys stay away? Did we smell bad? Not even curious as to see what it's like to drive the Dragon at night?
Great meeting you. Like i told you i was drunk from the beer swap fri and drank Sat night also so never made it up for a night run
