I got the ticket on a Saturday. So it was during the actual event. I got it on Hwy 28, the street between Fontana and the Dragon.

The ticket was for 70 in a 55. It was $238.

I was actually going faster than that in quick little spurts. I did kind of get screwed because I was out of state. Did I deserve a ticket? Yes. I was driving my *** off. But the reason I got screwed is because I could have went to court and beat it if it wasn't so far. He never actually clocked my speed. He just saw me drive by. He gave me 70 because 16+ mph over the posted speed limit is mandatory court. I would have easily won in court. But I didn't feel like taking off work and driving 7 hours away to fight it.

I had to pay the ticket online.

a lot got hit last year. must remember this is a public road with traffic and cops who know we are there every year.

if you want to enjoy the road and actually push on it best to go early. however with the size of the event now even the mornings get some back ups here and there but less or no cops.

Spstone · 04-28-2016, 09:39 AM

I'm sure the cops up there keep track of all the car events and build their budget off of tickets from it.

i'll be there earlier so I was planning on doing some runs and spirited fun mon-wed early mornings. well maybe just take it easy Monday to explore.

any other roads other than the dragon worth mentioning to drive/explore?

theres a bunch.

hell bender on the way to the dragon from Fontana is good. it's less technical and you can get higher speeds. more sweepers than super tight corners. i'll go into more detail in the OG thread if needed lol

also the poker run is always a great set of roads that include the dragon. poker run is usually around a 150 miles loop through NC and TN.

I can't wait, I need to get the F" out of here. Calgon, take me away. (Only the older folks may understand)

Spstone · 04-28-2016, 03:37 PM

I didn't realize the poker run was going to be so extensive. That's actually pretty epic.

I was looking at the registration page there is on guy registered coming all the way from Seattle Washington. That's some dedication.

Z1NONLY · 04-30-2016, 08:23 PM

Did Oil, transmission, diff, front rotors, new brake pads at all corners, and flushed the brake system.

I'll probably still be at the fire pit at 3am!!!!

Don't forget the posted speed limit signs now including the lowered limits in certain areas. I'm sure there will be a speed trap here or there.

I know I won't be breaking any speed limits. I'll just meander over to the side to let people pass. No biggie. I can't run that car out on a public road. All that **** stays on the track.
