Okay awesome!

Now for the disclaimers:

1) this is my second go at the dragon EVER, I don't know the course and it shows

2) I was on the original brake fluid from the manufacturer (I now understand how large of a mistake this is/was), and I wasn't threshold braking like I could/should have been because I didn't want to wind up being "that guy".

3) I was getting ready for the car show at 9 A.M. that morning and couldn't secure everything in my car tight enough, hence the windex and other crap rolling around and

4) I will remember to mount the camera outside of the car next time. Rook mistake.

(EDIT): I got some amazing advice from the guys there though. Z1nonly told me that as long as I'm on the road, I'm doing fine, and so I didn't feel like I needed to burn the course to the ground, but instead to just enjoy the road and the car. And Steve told me that if you ever think you're coming into a corner too hot and you think you won't make it, just try to make it anyway because chances are the car's limit is higher than you'd expect. That piece of advice saved me once or twice this weekend. Knowing the course is HUGE.
