Check.

Im' with him on this one ^^

I did get behind her once on and did not want to push her as it was after her wreck so I backed off a few times. She really was not driving bad.



I would say we need to inspect the cars before they go down the dragon.
maybe phil can find a few inspectors next year. I really think the people that have stock suspension cars dont need to push it.

I think everyone shouldn't push it. It's not a track. Regardless of my opinion though, people will. That said, I totally agree about the suspension. I, currently, have the stock (minus Tokico HPs) suspension on my car and I realize that. People also need to think about their brakes, which are arguably more important (doesn't matter what suspension you have if you can't slow down). I wonder how many of the people there had bled their brakes within the past year...

When my car was moving, and I drove the Dragon, I braked very early (enough time to be safe if my brakes failed) and went around the turns quickly, but nowhere near the limit of my car. And guess what? I still had a blast.

your car did not need them. I know I was behind you a few times and watched that setup of yours run thru nicely.

More so yet TIRES!! Not trying to draw attention to it, but you saw the blow up pic, the tire was obviously worn out, it's an early year meet, and most people haven't had the time to go over their cars and get all the stuff done that needs to be done, like a full tune up, bleeding brakes, new tires if need be, money and time don't always allow.

We all want to experience it so in certain situations we will let things slide. Suspension, brakes, and tires should not be something we ignore, I had a blow out because I rode on old tires, and I will never do it again, good tires are invaluable.

Just my opinion

Thank you!!! Im not a bad driver at all.. I was only going around 35 - 40 MPH when I had my accident, which was the 1st accident I have ever had in my life. The rest of the stuff was not my fault, just heppened to be in the wrong place a tthe wrong time.
