Well I came, I finally found, and I ran the Dragon(AT NIGHT!). I spent most of the day asking for directions and trying to find the Dragon then anything else. Went up the Skyway which was a nice drive. I met everyone but Roger and chknhwk. Would have been good to see you guys while I was there, but I heard about some Wheel issues. I really had a good time and it was a welcome change from the norm. I hope you all have safe trips home.
Word of advice 129 spits you out in the middle of nowhere. I ended up following 411 South for about 15 miles to 72 West for about 20 miles, which put me at the Loudon Exit 8 Miles north of Sweetwater on 75. I got home around 11:30. Total milage for the Dragon Run=327.

Why does this statement scare me? Maybe because I know Eric fairly well! 
I can't wait to start seeing the pics.

I can't get my finger in there!! 
I don't know my total milage for the weekend, but I do know I went through almost 3 tanks of gas. 5,000rpm+ contantly will kinda burn it up quick. My front wheels are black with brake dust, my windshield is opaque with bug guts, and the rear 1/4 of the car is white with rally dust.  Can't wait for next year.

Just got in. Didn't expect it to take me nearly 6 hours to get here, but with traffic, twisty north carolina roads, and a bad accident, it took a while.
I loved driving the dragon. It was good meeting everyone, I can't wait till next year. (Really I can't, I might go up there in spring or summer.)
I think I should upgrade my brakes. It's not good when smoke is pouring off of them is it? Maybe new tires too.
For everyone that wasn't there today, I had a little accident on the dragon about 3 miles into it. Downshifting at the wrong time (in a curve) and got loose, locked brakes and came about 2-3 feet from going off a cliff. Very scary but all's well that ends well. There was a cop about 1 mile into it getting pleny of bikers. Fun stuff. If Zach has a scanner, maybe he can get pics up of my skidmarks.
