We've had crashes and mishaps before, and sadly will again in the future. Some of the crashes were the result of factors outside our group but most are simply people driving over their heads. There are not many people who can get 100% out of this car, so just because someone else is driving a certain pace doesn't mean everyone can equal it.

The only way to minimize accidents is to drive safely and within your own limits. There are some very fast drivers (and cars) and everyone needs to remember not to let their ego affect their driving. It's not a race, there's no first place.

We have in the past. I'm sure this has been addressed.

WSB, great post. We will certainly give the local gas stations a couurtesy "heads up," thanks w1ngman.

Oh...and on the crash contingency...just be sure 'n listen to airgate's speech. Kidding, the best advice is what WSB shared above...drive within your limits. The Dragon is a PUBLIC roadway. If you want to test the limits of your driving, go to the track!

As for a Car Wash area...(this is why I have a "TEAM" now...chuckle), we've got it covered. And many of the cottages have their own spicket, so I imagine the scene will resemble a neighborhood of car cleaning freaks. But, in addition to this, we'll have something set up.

FOR THOSE WHO CAN...bring extra hoses and/or nozzles for car washing. Everyone will appreciate it. Some of us (yeah, me) can't fit anything else in for the trip. And I have yet to convince Anna that we NEED a Ridgeline.

Thanks for the post, great job everyone!
