Definitely looking forward to the video. Sounds like you all had a blast. I just got the Dinan Stage 2 suspension, so I need to try it out when you go next year.

Dwayne, glad it went well. I had heard that the cops have been bad recently so that's great you guys didn't have any problems.

Rick, all you need now is a nice looking pair of lightweight 20's to go with the new drop. I bet you have seen a good difference in handling.

Man, great pics. I hate that it wasn't dry. Driving it slick last year versus this year....insanity. Dry it fun and fast, but a slick dragon will have you tender on the gas! Definitely must come out next year. It's always the 1st weekend in December barring something crazy happening like this year.
