At best you hit 80 in most cars. Vehicle dynamics change a lot once you get going faster.

i realized this all too soon... Had an "oh sh*t" moment on the Skyway that almost gave me a heart attack.

Switching between the dragon and other roads can mess with you. The dragon feels like a video game relative to higher speed stuff

Yeah the dragon was no problem at all. Entering high speed decreasing radius sweepers on the Skyway is what messed with me. Went into a few sweepers way too fast and it wasn't until halfway through the corner I thought "should be going 10-20 mph slower". Lifted off the gas and boom... lift off oversteer sent the tail end wagging towards the edge

Yeah well if you only equate a challenge with speed you are correct. I consider a very technical road to be challenging as well when you push it.

Too each his own though.

After my first run on the Dragon, my freakin hands were shaking

More ridiculous than ridiculous day down at the deli!

Im just saying the dragon is very forgiving. You get on the brakes, and you can save yourself from all but the biggest mistakes. It feels a lot like autoX.

Except for the "offs" or incursions to other lanes (when traffic is there). There's been plenty of folks killed on that road and it's not to be taken lightly.

That is the most annoying part of that road...the biggest challenge is avoiding morons, rather than the road itself.

Or when you put half a tire off the road and kick up rocks for the people behind you

Red__Zed · 01-05-2012, 11:44 AM

On my way out I had a biker FULL ON IN MY LANE. Had to literally stop and wait for him to fix his line and pass

Red__Zed · 01-05-2012, 11:54 AM

I plan to leave a go pro indent on someone's rear bumper this year, even if it means doing it while they are parked
