DGRR 2011-Best and Worst Experiences

Kontakt · 05-03-2011, 10:09 AM

Good: Over 180 miles of the trip down I managed 30.1mpg with no thermo sensor and no O2 sensor. I don't think my car likes sensors. It spat the O2 sensor out completely first turn on the dragon. Talk about sounding like a tractor...

Great: The roads. The Dragon is incredible, but in a lot of ways I prefer 28. I did get to have a nice clean fast run down The Dragon Friday morning doing an S4 NA's best to keep up with Kevin Henderson lol. No cops, and only a few turns of a Triumph that got out of the way. Skyway is incredible, but there's nowhere to pull off for the best views. I prefer 441. That road is simply stunning, and there are pull offs near the peak that cover a huge swath of valley without trees getting in your way. It is simply breathtaking.

Greatest: The people. I less than three BAW cabin. The rest of you guys are awesome as well. People are so nice, they will sell you a set of RB sway bars for $5...

Thanks again to the man in that beautiful Celica. Everyone I ran into from giving random folks rides to seeing people I met last year, to meeting new people from online were all very friendly.

I will definitely find you next year. I seem to have a knack for tracking that guy down.

He pulled in behind all the FC's in the gravel lot Saturday. He said he was only staying for a few hours though. I did catch his name, but I caught a lot of names I don't quite remember. He was gonna scrap the sway bars, but brought them by in case anyone wanted them first.

I think Evil Aviator may know who he is. The three of us were chatting back there for a bit.
