I can't recall the names...but he's typically a hell of a driver.

Billman will recall him.

Don't some of you remember hearing about the "local" GPW CR that was driving like a mad man at DBR?? I think it was DBR?

Geez...I _am_ getting


I followed that guy on a run for about 5 seconds before I lost him - he knows the road like the back of his hand but he drives at 11/10ths. With all that sand on the road.... no way I'd be pushing it. Plus, notice the gas stains on the fuel door?

I would stop and make sure that he was alive and conscious so that he would feel the pain that I would inflict!

I guess with a pass like that he was asking for it. He never did that when we ran together, he held back and waited or turned around.

He is hands down the fastest S2000 dragon driver I have ever seen.
Haven't seen me drive it yet
I've made over 100 trips since I have owned my car (January 2006), and each time I go up, I at least run it 4-5 times up and down before I head back.. So count that, just about 500 times that I've driven Deal's Gap since January of 2006!!! haha... that's crazy when I think about it in terms of that!

(also as a side note, I usually go at night, because there is less traffic, and it's less dangerous... simply because you can see cars headlights through the trees) Then again, take a look at my driving light setup for going up to the Dragon at night 4x Hella FF200 Xenon Driving Lights each with a 55w D2S ballast haha..

So, yea, I definitely enjoy driving 129.. Day or Night!!! Love it!! It's a shame it's dumbasses like this one, that ruin it for the rest of us, and MAKE the LEO's come out in full force because of all the accidents and hazardous daytime driving... just ridiculous. :/

Don't feel bad for the CR owner and passenger!! Feel bad for the poor BRAND NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!

so that's going just about every week or two out of ever three weeks since you got your car? I find that a little hard to believe.

Are you working at Hella now?

The Dragon humbles me to no end. For obvious reasons tracks don't scare me like the Dragon does. Unfortunately, it isn't until we run out of talent to overcome the law of physics we don't realize how mistaken we were.

Good thing both ppl were safe.
