Fail inside....
 
I hope this wasn't one of the M3's that was with our group.

If so, please don't come back. Thanks.

And now for some WIN! If my monster can stay in the lanes, surely a high performance M3 can :rolleyes:

Yikes!!

I'm glad no one got hurt this year, but next year, we really need to have what NOT to do at DGRR thread... Make sure all the registered attendees know what NOT to do!! I've also heard stories of some FD who kept crossing the double yellow on blind curves..

There was a douche in a red 300 that crossed the line on a blind corner and just about creamed us. I wish I could say he wasn't in our group, but I later saw the car at NVNC, so he probably was...

Wish I would of known someone else had they're luxo beast there! Could of had a Volvo/Lincoln match race. :lol:

JDuncan 04-20-2010 02:37 PM

He was more in the wrong lane on the corner we met him on. We ended up running off the pavement on the inside to avoid a collision. He kept right on rolling... Asshats gonna be Asshats...

I think he may have won. Judging by the low riding stance, he may have had a weight advantage...

Add to that:
+1 for AWD
+1 for V8 powa
+1 for 4C Active Chassis control
-1 for DTSC that you cannot fully disable :(

We could have had fun though!!

C. Ludwig 04-20-2010 03:53 PM

Well, we did have 1100lbs of people in the Lincoln, on The Dragon, at one point. :lol:

Probably going to have to buy this one. :lol:

McVicker 04-20-2010 03:57 PM

That's pretty bad.... I'll cross the lines to apex a turn, but only if I can see the road ahead.... those were blind corners.

helghast7 04-20-2010 04:35 PM

the lincoln LS isnt AWD its RWD
with a 3.9 liter v8
its so low it gives us trouble putting it on the lift, and that fucker can handle pretty damn good and being its a small v8 has very good acceleration, i would say it can definetly beat the other car

N.RotaryTech 04-20-2010 06:16 PM

Me and a sports bike almost traded paint near the beginning of the dragon. I was taking a right hand curve right after a left and he was leaning toward my side of the road and he came CLOSE. He had like 3 other bikes behind him too. I wish I had my gopro camera on that time. That would be interesting to see.

PortedRotorTuner 04-20-2010 06:33 PM

wow, fully in the other lane! :o11: :icon_no2:

My Volvo is AWD
My Volvo is a 4.4L V8

RX-8's had nothing in the corners on me, and I own an RX-8 :)

Wanna race!

2000 Lincoln LS V8 0-60 time 7.5sec (I don't think Chris' is a V8)
2007 Volvo S80 V8 0-60 time 6.0sec

Just stating facts. Now the Lincoln is based on a Jaguar platform, which is also what the newer Thunderbirds were based on. The RWD is a benefit to the Lincoln. My Volvo is a FWD based AWD using a Haldex system, at full split it will run 35% front, 65% rear. Problem is that I cannot completely disable the DSTC, turning it off only removes the braking and engine retard function. Yaw control and wheel spin control are still fully operational, which can get in the way. Try as I might I could not get it to sidestep, even a little. In an empty parking lot thought.....AWD burnout are possible.....and quite fun!

But it doesn't really matter in the end. I have never been on a race track. I'm a Dragon tamer.

Kentetsu 04-21-2010 08:39 AM

Saw quite a few rotories crossing the double yellow this year. In one day, making only one pass on the Dragon, I had to make room for six people who felt the need to borrow some real estate from my lane. It wasn't that bad last year, so maybe people were thinking this was a "closed course" type of even since there were gates at the entrance.

Anyway, it was pretty disappointing to see. But at least nobody got hurt...

I really see no need to cross that line ever.

My first dragon experience was almost ended by someone crossing the line - on my first run ever nonetheless.

Its a road. There's other cars and bikes. No one is awarding prizes for "biggest hero". Only prizes they give out come from THP's.............there's no excuse to cross the line aside from being a tard. If you can't drive at a fun speed within your own lane, then I really don't know what to say.

apparently he was dodging and invisible animal of some sort...

Were you attempting to pull of to let the bikes past??

smaxted 04-25-2010 06:03 PM

Buggy and I were rookies this year, it was almost our last as well. Red heritage f150 was pretty much in our lane coming around a blind corner (luckily the shoulder was paved)....not quite sure why anyone would want to take a f150 on the dragon...
