Default Dragon Trip - April 2017(who's going)

Thinking very very hard about going. I wouldn't mind splitting a room if anyone else is going SOLO. Lee I know you are signed up......good man!

Not sure if I will be going Thursday evening and crashing so I can get an early start Saturday AM on the Dragon. This way it will hopefully have limited traffic, cameras and Po Po's. Not that I will be driving like the Fluffy Clouds groups but I like to enjoy myself while being safe. Only 1x did I have an OMG moment so far. Having driven this car for 17 years I know my limits in it and how she reacts when things get squirrely.

Not sure if it will be this summer or next spring that I get new rubber shoes but still not totally sold on what to get. Gone with tires that have 300 wear ratings and they last the same amount of time as the 200's as they just slide and slip more so rubber comes off regardless! Though the V12's fronts I have on have lasted a very long time. Super soft sidewalls will prevent me from EVER going back to them.

I hope you go Jim. Would love to see you again.

Have you considered Dunlop Star Specs? Great sticky tires and much less expensive than the Bridgestones.
