A few photos from todays Dragon run.

One speeding ticket was issued (60 mph in a 45mph zone) by a very nice North Carolina State Trooper on the way up. This was not on the Dragon. We saw very little traffic on the Dragon.

On a side note. For the past 2 days I have had a message on the dash saying engine malfunction and service engine soon. After driving through the mountains all error messages are gone. I think babying the car around town made it mad. Driving it very hard made it happy again.

Great run fellas, I had mad fun. Thanks for the invite. I'd do it again in a second.

Here are my pics:

I'd love to get the video off of my camera, but Canon decided to not include the Firewire cable I need. Trying to borrow one.

Hey, do you guys have the links for those people who were taking pics at the side of the road? I wanted to see if any of their pics were worth buying.

TODGTR · 04-01-2009, 09:05 AM

Thanks for the invite,

This was my 1st time at TOD, and I realy enjoyed it,
but you must respect the road no doubt.

cheesewz · 04-01-2009, 09:30 PM

It was nice to meet you. That road definitely requires respect.

The pics came out pretty nice. I won't post the one where my back-end is over the line.

Im still trying to get mine up on YT.

They kind of pissed me off with the whole 10 minute limit thing. I had to do some serious cutting.

cheesewz · 04-06-2009, 01:18 PM

One of the guys I work with is an avid motorcycle rider and he recommended some other roads to check out.

One (Wayah) was listed on the "other roads" list on the TOD site:

http://www.tailofthedragon.com/other_other.html

He also mentioned GA 197 and GA 180.

Anyone driven any of those?

Running the Dragon really made me want to drive my car harder for some reason

TODGTR · 04-06-2009, 07:21 PM

Yes I am in. GA 180 (Wolf Pen Gap Road) starts in Suches. Its only about 50 miles from Atlanta and you can do a loop and include a section of US129.

Morning run?

cheesewz · 04-07-2009, 02:45 PM

I'm off every other Friday, and supposed to be working from home on the Friday's that I'm not off. Should be easy to break out for a run.

totsubo · 04-07-2009, 02:47 PM

My photos are up. You guys know where to find the full list.
