a lot got hit last year. must remember this is a public road with traffic and cops who know we are there every year.

if you want to enjoy the road and actually push on it best to go early. however with the size of the event now even the mornings get some back ups here and there but less or no cops.

i'll be there earlier so I was planning on doing some runs and spirited fun mon-wed early mornings. well maybe just take it easy Monday to explore.

any other roads other than the dragon worth mentioning to drive/explore?

theres a bunch.

hell bender on the way to the dragon from Fontana is good. it's less technical and you can get higher speeds. more sweepers than super tight corners. i'll go into more detail in the OG thread if needed lol

also the poker run is always a great set of roads that include the dragon. poker run is usually around a 150 miles loop through NC and TN.

I went on the early morning runs everyday last year and the spacing was fine. It works out well because everyone lines up in order of speed (aka driving skill) for the most part so you don't have slow drivers holding others up. When in doubt, start towards the back and work your way up.

If you hang around with the MAZOC group, you'll get to explore a good number of those roads.

I'm well aware of the morning runs. However at 7am I'm still well above the legal limit to be driving let alone the dragon.

Now I have said this year I will be partaking in one morning session. that's also dependent on my livers cooperation.

Definitely worth it IMO. If you can't drive you can always come for a ride, but you'll still have to get your azz up in time. I can show you what a really nice exhaust sounds like, especially when you're not limited by 6 cylinders
