tristanlee85 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Here are pictures my girlfriend took at the Dragon. It was a blast. The car did really well. 37mpg down to NC and I'm still on the same tank that I filled up on before leaving NC. So far it's 40mpg+. It was nice being able to actually meet everyone we talk to on a daily basis and to cruise with people who have the same interests as you. I have a video as well, but I need to take time to make something good from it. http://www.cfcoding.com/totd/ http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/orderpage.aspx?pi=04RK00S6001662&po=1663 http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/orderpage.aspx?pi=04RK00S6001663&po=1664 http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/orderpage.aspx?pi=04RK00S6001664&po=1665 http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/orderpage.aspx?pi=04RK00S6001665&po=1666 As we were going up the Dragon Friday night, we came upon a wreck and unfortunately it was one of our own. He was going about 55mph around a 30mph turn and over-steer got the best of him. The car rolled 5 times, went up an embankment and was pointing the direction he originally came from. The driver was in a 4-point harness and suffered not a scratch, but the passenger was in a regular seat and cracked a vertebrate and had a large cut on his head. It took about 45 minutes to remove him from the car with the jaws of life, but he was released from the hospital a day later with only a neck brace. It's something I would definitely do again.

coltboostin Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 You should try it on a bike with R compounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Davis Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I go down there every May for Zdayz, the place can be a madhouse on weekends. There were several head on crashes last year due to people not staying in their lanes. We have started going down in the middle of the week, the road is like a ghost town on Tuesday-Thursday.

tristanlee85 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Psht. I took it slow as hell. After seeing my friend wreck, my brakes going out after getting hot, and having another life in my car to worry about, I figured it would be best to enjoy the scenery of some place besides OH and a coffin. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/ProDarwin/saturn%20wreck/IMG_1364copy.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/ProDarwin/saturn%20wreck/IMG_1366copy.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/ProDarwin/saturn%20wreck/IMG_1371copy.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
