I left it at 1080p, so those wanting to view it HD....feel free to **** up the bandwidth.
The only cuts are where we got stuck behind some slower folks.

As you'll see, I took it very easy as this was my first time on The Dragon.

I knew we had a lot of cars that day, but dang!

 

[Stretch]

Awesome!! Can't wait to go on that trip again!

 

[jdeft1]

I'll second that ^

Is it June yet?

No, but the Year of the Dragon begins in a few weeks.
You think that might have any bearing on the event this year ? ? ?

 

[Bird325]

What a great turnout! Can you guys get a date set for the 2012 run?

 

[bluegrassvet1]

Looks like the event has been scheduled for June 1-3 2012

I don't know how many more people we can accommodate. That was huge turnout last year and I had a hard time fitting all the cars in the pic at the dam!

I have a gut feeling I'll be making at least a few runs before the official trip. I went up a couple of months ago on a random Sunday and ended up running into Chambers right as I was getting there. Had a couple of nice little runs.

I'm definitely changing my alignment this year year and might even swap to the Nitto NT05's as well to get little better control for the twisties. Hopefully the alignment by itself works, but if not, I'll see if anyone is interested in a pretty new set of Invo's to offset the cost of the NT05's.

That's because you weren't elevated high enough to get a good angle

Are you talking about the fact you're 8 ft tall, or that you climbed up on the roof like a monkey?

Allegedly climbed onto the roof. The pic looked good in the magazine though

 

[TowDawg]

Here is the "alleged" roof climbing. You be the judge.
He did get some great shots from up there though...

 

[Stretch]

Looks like a smart guy

Great pictures!

In the best interest of the club and the ToD trip red vipers will not be allowed to attend in 2012. Chad will have to stay home and Mike will have to bring something with hair dryers. Win win.

I heard the pizza was free because your car was too slow to get it delivered in 30 mins or less.
