We tell everyone to drive at their own pace.... don't try and keep up with the car in front of you if you don't feel comfortable. Don't let cockiness or stupidity take over, and you will be OK.

The Dragon is just like any other road, just has a few extra curves!

There is no required skill level, just drive within your limits and you will be fine.

A quick synopsis of the annual WTD drivers meet.
1. It's not a race.
2. Drive at your comfort level. (See #1)
3. Stay on your side of the yellow line (Always, no exceptions)
4. Drive at your comfort level, this is not a race.
5. Do not cross the yellow line.
6. Have a good time.
7. Do not cross the yellow line.

and last

8. DO NOT CROSS THE YELLOW LINE. THIS IS NOT A RACE AND YOU DON'T GET A PRIZE FOR BEING THE BIGGEST A$$ ON THE DRAGON.

Finally decided to stop being lazy and registered! Is it April yet?

This is a simple video done with a Flip last year. I have decided to invest in a GoPro, so this year will look much better!
