    The dragon certainly is a fun road! Super dangerous though... When I was there with Dysfunk last week another person died taking a turn too fast.

    That road needs a lot of respect. There is no room for error if you are traveling at any kind of speed.

    anyways, I digress.
    Yeah it looks pretty freakin dangerous. But if they could close it down for point to point race that would be sweet.

    What is a top/high speed you can reach?

      High speed is irrelevant on that road. The fastest I probably ever hit was 45. I could easily hit 70+ in the straightaways. I have stock sized rotors and stock calipers and stock brake pads. No point in going fast in a straight line.

      I do the entire run in 2nd gear going from 20mph to 45 utilizing engine braking. The plenty of fun to be had at safe speeds driving the Tail of the Dragon.

      (BTW, the speed limit on the road is 30mph, and yes, there are cops.)

                Hell yeah on the engine break, that's how we do it.

                I live kinda far away though I would still want to try it, but maybe a road trip is in order...
                Good stuff

                    Also did another run on the Tail of the Dragon. Boy that new rear sway bar does wonders!

                              Are we still on for Saturday?

                              Jess will have the car so, I won't be able to wash it.. Not that it'll do much for my paint anyways... Although, when we do get a chance to mess with mine, I need to touch up some of my roof, It's peeling to the bare metal and rusting in places.

                              I don't have any car wash stuff, so you'll have to bring some.

                              The car wash is kind of weird here... It's a carport with four water hoses hanging from the ceiling at each corner... But there is a free commercial grade vacuum.
