It's kind of irrelevant, since so many people drive the Dragon hard.

When we were there for Zdayz, the police told us they were more concerned with us not crossing the yellow than whether or not we sped.


If you really nailed it on the straights and hit some high speed they'd probably tag you, but maybe not. Now if they saw you crossing the double yellows they'd tag you... instant reckless.

It seemed like a fair system this year, definitely.

they just have no passing on the yellow lines during Zdays so mustang owners have an excuse to be behind z's and don't have to admit that they just suck and can't handle in anything but a straight line

Its nice that it seems they try to grant you a little leeway so everyone can have a good time. They must know that it is a highly desirable area for driving enthusiasts and dont wanna drive the tourism away. I agree, let the people have fun and drive a little fast but dont endanger others by crossing into the other lane. Seems very fair. I hope the same mindset is in effect next year.
