129 Dragon Today

[/IMG]
Today was the "Perfect Day" 65 degrees and only a few cars and bikes on the Dragon. I live a few miles from it and have taken many bikes and cars over it.(C5, BMWs , Hondas and on and on).....Never have I enjoyed it more. Drove it hard but not reckless, 1st and 2nd gear....little bit of 3rd. never used the brakes, set it on Sport, with Rev match on. 736 turns round trip. When I stopped all you could smell were tires....
This car is AWSOME, more than I ever expected....Pictures tomorrow!!! Lovin life.

Car looks great. I have never driven any car over the Dragon. My first time over, was because 40 was closed, so it looked like the best route, a crew cab dually with a 35 foot RV behind it.
A year or two later I deiced it would be great on a bike, and had my various Harley's over it many many times. Plan to take the new vette over it soon
