And I feel bad that I ran over Red's GoPro mount and case. His GoPro came off and as I was ready to make a tight turn there it was in the middle of the road...GoPro mount and case. I didn't see it and by the time I reacted to it...was a bit too late. At least I didn't destroyed the camera but it was never found.
Man, Sorry you had to "depart" Saturday night. I went back to the mansion and I was told "you were on you way home". I didn't see you much during Saturday, I was "busy" enjoying the dragon. I even did a night drive on the dragon. That was really enjoyable (I wasn't doing anything crazy)
Overall it was a great experience. I met some individuals and some great individuals as yourself (Spooler).
I departed Saturday night at about 11 pm. Drove until 4 am and by then I was 15 miles from the NC/VA border. I took I-40W to I-85 to I-95.
It was nice meeting you there and If I live closer I could do it next year, but 13+ driving hours each way is a bit much inside the cockpit of a Z.
Cheers!!!!!

Everybody was cutting out early in the morning. I knew I wouldn't get up being a night owl and the wife was needing some help with the dogs so I cut out for the house. I was at the house in 5 1/2 hours thanks to no Atlanta traffic.

I wish I would have hit that crack pipe Tail of the Dragon one more time before I left, LOL.

I have the group picture from the water falls. I'm trying to upload here but I keep getting a message for being too big. I don't know much how to resize or make them smaller.

I don't have any of that stuff. No facebook, no birdy ****, no this and no that. Just 370Z forum and a regular e-mail account.

I'm absolutely without a doubt not going to miss this next year. I absolutely have to do it.

Which means I have a year to get an oil cooler, hotchskis sway bars, and pads/rotors/fluid/ss line upgrade for the akebonos.

This was my second year and I didn't leave disappointed. This is easily the best car event I have ever been to. I met a few of you guys (My name is Nate), but didn't meet as many as I would have liked. I already have the cabin booked for next year so Ill hopefully meet more of you then!

Memphis370z needs these things too. He kept hitting 250 degree oil temps on some spirited driving on 28. I kept getting some shaky brakes with my Akebonos after a little while. I need to get some brake mods going as well.

Did anyone talk to a local at the Dragon? I did. I mentioned "Mr. Davis" and it got interesting. (If you know who this is). I will link the article about the King of the Dragon later.

Please do, Spooler. I'm interested in the article, as well as learning about your conversation with the local.

Is this the article?

New Cars and 2015, 2016 Car Reviews, Pictures, and News - Road & Track

Says the unofficial record between the overlook and the state line is "around 10 minutes".

Yeap, that is it. He was there on Saturday at the overlook for a while with his bike with a few cautious friends. Don't ask how I know.

I beat it is in the nine minute range. It is a guarded secret, just as he is.

I had to come home and look at a picture in the article and put some stuff together in my head. He is not the only one who analyzes everything. It's the engineer in me. I can't help myself. I do understand why he is so guarded and will keep quite on what I think I know.

If I see him again, I will know. They don't call me the elephant at work for nothing.
