oh geez... the only thing that makes that picture look decent is the ZR1 in the background!

I should have the rest of the pics some time today or tomorrow to post up for you guys.

Oh, and a few notes... most of the fill ups were over 29 mpg average (i havent calc'd the entire trip yet).

And does anyone else the issue that when its cold out, the ebrake doesnt work?

OK, you guys'll have to help me out, please. I live in NC and I hear a lot about the Dragon, and I watched HawkIVette's video, (by the way, did'ja see any motorcycles on that road??) so can someone tell me the whats, the wheres, the whens, etc?

At first I thought it was perhaps a one-day event on which a specific curly road was blocked off by state troopers for sports cars enjoyment.

Now I get the feeling it's sorta come and play and hope the LEOs aren't lookin'. It does look like a bunch of fun, though. What happens when you're zippin' around the corner and come upon a little old lady in a Lincoln?

Thats pretty much it!

When u get stuck behind someone slow......unless you are on a bike....you get to drive slow too. Not many places to pass in a car. Hopefully they pull off and let you get by, but not likely if its a little old lady
