ZDayZ 2012 (May 17-20)

Talked to a work contact today who's from NC. He told me that back in 2006, a huge section of 129 was blocked off due to a tremendous mudslide. He was heading home to Raleigh, and the detour would have taken him hours out of his way. He asked nicely, and the construction workers let him through. He had those roads completely to himself, including the Dragon. I'm jelly.

We've definitely lucked out the past 2 years when it comes to weather and no mudslides closing off sections of the Dragon

In 2010 they clear part of a rock slide before ZdayZ. We had to turn around right after the Dragon ended.

We waited for the TN trooper to come around and open the gate at 7AM, we knew nobody was coming plus no cops, that was fun.

That was my favorite year for driving the Dragon.

That run is still the fastest I have ever pushed my car on the dragon.

Dragon as a closed course = once in a lifetime opportunity.

-Missed you and your crew at this year's morning runs. (I know you guys were busier than usual this year)

Thanks Mike, that was my first Dragon run in 2010.

I missed it too this year, but we had other activities and hit the Dragon later in the morning. Not that much fun like early in the morning.

However next year I will be there early at the General Store.
