[My5ABaby]

So what exactly did you do Pink Flea?

I've heard the stories on the other two (biker and gravel, correct?), just not your incident.

[Pink Flea]

My backend slid out and the front kissed the mountain.. Then she did a nice little swirly dance and landed in a ditch.

[Pink Flea]

Ohhh, and the tire up there ^^ That happened on my way home today......and I was the passenger in the car that bought it on the gravel.

Hmmmm, going too fast will do that. :p

Oh well, it looks fixable.

Dear God you're bad luck. :rofl:

[Pink Flea]

I cant wait til next year!! :)

[Pink Flea]

You should have seen what happened to me last year at BOTD

[My5ABaby]

You should have seen what happened to me last year at BOTD

Ummmmmmmmmmmm. You're just leaving it at that? That's like saying "hey I meant to tell you something" to someone and then not telling them.

[Pink Flea]

This happened last September with my RX8 "Flea" at BOTD:
Day 1: "broken belt" in my left rear tire running the hell bender. So early thursday morning Flea was towed out on a flat bed into Knoxville for a new set of rear tires.
Day 2: Spent in Knoxville getting the tires.. got to run the dragon that evening coming back to the village. The only killboy shot of Flea on the dragon was from this day... On the back of the flatbed!.. But hey.. Flea is so badass she made that tow truck her bitch and hitched a ride!
Day3: White water rafting!!! We had a great time... and then we met the waterfall.... And my face met a paddle.. My friend Nic totally bitch slapped me with his paddle as he was flying out of the raft! So fat lip big deal. We got back to the village and I kinda sorta tried to back down a steep driveway, 2 wheels off the ground later I was stuck off the side of this mountain of a driveway.. Luckly it was where EVERYONE was hanging out so there where plenty of people to lean on my car and back it down so it didnt flip over.
Day4: The show and shine!! Flea had her new shoes and looked so pretty... Almost as much as me.. yep, "you shure are a purrdy yougin" thats what the locksmith told me 3 hours later as he was getting my keys out of my car.. as I was missing the car show ...(I also managed to lock myself out of my cabin the same day) I made it back to the headquarters in time to catch the awards and raffles where I won "star of the event"... No introduction necessary, I was already infamous. Now it was time for the caravan to the dragon to make some great runs!! There was a little knock in the front of the car.. Alignment I planned on getting fixed when I returned home. We where right there!! Right at the last turn before the dragon! The last BLIND curve that is, with about 40 RX8's in a line. I turned the curves and there was a stopped line of 8's I slammed on brakes and I made it!!!! I didnt hit Dawn's 8!! But then BAM, Darby hit me and then John hit him! Darby hit me so hard my license plate embedded RX8CLUB.COM backwards into his front bumper, the license plate then only said RX8CU B.com and has since dwindled down to RX8 COM. All the guys up ahead where on the 2 ways saying WRECK WRECK!!! WAS IT JANNA??!! At least this time it was not my fault but now the knocking was REAL bad! We all limped back to the cabins and I asked one of the guys to check the knocking to see if I would be able to make it home. The Wreck actually saved my life, my lug nuts had come loose and if I had run the dragon I would have lost a wheel and gone off the side of the mountain! So I did have good luck after all!!

[My5ABaby]

So... accident prone, check.

[FirstRotaryExp]

what was the outcome of the bike vs. fc? did the biker get his ass beat or did he run off like a bitch?

[My5ABaby]

what was the outcome of the bike vs. fc? did the biker get his ass beat or did he run off like a bitch?
From what I hear, they were both on/near the double yellow line so it wasn't really the biker's fault. Now, that's just the story I heard...

[FirstRotaryExp]

still...if the bike hits the car...and did that much dmg im voting its the bikes fault. But were the authorities involved to take care of damages or did we have a hit and run?

[My5ABaby]

Again though, they kinda hit each other (2nd hand information). Both on the double yellow, side swiped each other.

[Nismo]

Wow... just wow.

[yeti]

the cops did arrive and as I passed the second time I heard the cop say something about the peg foot thing missing or something.I didn't know it had ripped the metal until now though.

[88turbotime]

But were the authorities involved to take care of damages or did we have a hit and run?

How fast does a cyclist run after doing that much damage to a car?

[85rx-7gsl-se]

^ From what I heard, they cited the FC for the accident even though it was really the bikers fault :(

[Nutsid]

Alright, so what I have learned from this thread so far is that a lot of accidents happen at this event, and Pink Flea is extremely bad luck and therefore should avoid her like the plague. Got it. :)

[88turboii]

I too was a victim of loose lug nuts, fortunately i pulled over quickly enough to find out what was making that knocking sound.. happened halfway through hte dragon friday night

sorry about all the incidents through the weekend, we just need to be more careful.. and stay as far right as possible when bikes come by!! the noobs tend hug the inner line and lean into your lane

[I8U]

Alright, so what I have learned from this thread so far is that a lot of accidents happen at this event, and Pink Flea is extremely bad luck and therefore should avoid her like the plague. Got it. :)

Three accidents is hardly a lot. I say it was pretty good odds for the amount of cars and people that attended. And yes, you are right about Pink Flea...you figure she would stay away from the mountains from now on since, she has had back to back bad luck trips there!


Sorry Janna, glad you're okay though. I really do think you need to take a break from driving anything rotary related for awhile!!!

[Ender]

:117: Just: wow.

[mrthundercleese]

...

Sorry Janna, glad you're okay though. I really do think you need to take a break from driving anything for awhile!!!

Fix0rd. You know we love you though Janna :).

Seriously, glad everyone made it out OK, even though some of the cars didn't. The car can be repaired :D.

So what your telling me is... Don't let you ride with me, or be on the same road as you... and if you DO make it to the dragon, that's my que to call it a day? :reddevil:

Check.

:beatdeadhorse5:

[BlueflameFE]

Well said!!!!!!!!!!

[My5ABaby]

Pink, you were the one with the Mazda jacket, right?

Im' with him on this one ^^

I did get behind her once on and did not want to push her as it was after her wreck so I backed off a few times. She really was not driving bad.



I would say we need to inspect the cars before they go down the dragon.
maybe phil can find a few inspectors next year. I really think the people that have stock suspension cars dont need to push it.

[djmtsu]

Its a public road though, so as long as the car has a tag, they can do what they please.

Also, that is what everyone signed the waiver. You are responsible for your car and your actions.

[My5ABaby]

I really think the people that have stock suspension cars dont need to push it.
I think everyone shouldn't push it. It's not a track. Regardless of my opinion though, people will. That said, I totally agree about the suspension. I, currently, have the stock (minus Tokico HPs) suspension on my car and I realize that. People also need to think about their brakes, which are arguably more important (doesn't matter what suspension you have if you can't slow down). I wonder how many of the people there had bled their brakes within the past year...

When my car was moving, and I drove the Dragon, I braked very early (enough time to be safe if my brakes failed) and went around the turns quickly, but nowhere near the limit of my car. And guess what? I still had a blast.

[My5ABaby]

True, but an inspector(s) could still give recommendations. A lot of people may not know what to look for on their car as far as safety.

[FirstRotaryExp]

People who havent run the road shouldnt push it. I still have very stock suspension and I know when to let off the gas. You can have a fully race prepped car and still not know how to drive. The same can be said of the motorcycles.

As a local Ive seen cars that should have no problem keeping in there lane at the speeds ive gone on that road, and yet they cross the lines so the driver can have an easier time. This goes for the bikes and the 8's I had on my ass saturday night from the state line back to the lake. Learn to drive and judge distances and everyone should have a relatively safe ride.

[djmtsu]

I'm not going to argue about a 'Pre Dragon' inspection. Its not going to happen.

[My5ABaby]

I'm not going to argue about a 'Pre Dragon' inspection. Its not going to happen.

No, it's probably not. But that doesn't make it a bad suggestion.

[fire85gslse]

Also, that is what everyone signed the waiver. You are responsible for your car and your actions.

what waiver?
The inspection would be a quick look over your car by someone else. Just a different set of eyes on it. If they were in place this time the loose lug nuts would have been caught on the cars that found out later they had loose nuts. Small things like that.
Your right It is a public road but again but by having someone else look over a car they might catch something and a save a life.

You and I both know half the people their did not look over the car before they drove there much less went on the dragon. Alot of the cars there had 100k on them if not more and anything is possible.

I could care less what anyone thinks truly! It is just a thought that could save you from getting hit as well. If anything look your friends car over for them and you. Might save your ass in the end.

[fikren]

You mean we were supposed to be using those????? :rofl:

[fire85gslse]

your car did not need them. I know I was behind you a few times and watched that setup of yours run thru nicely.

[88turbotime]

hahaha you ass, i distinctly remember the following words coming out of your mouth when i stepped it up a notch: "I'm glad you're not driving like a bitch anymore." :fawk:

More so yet TIRES!! Not trying to draw attention to it, but you saw the blow up pic, the tire was obviously worn out, it's an early year meet, and most people haven't had the time to go over their cars and get all the stuff done that needs to be done, like a full tune up, bleeding brakes, new tires if need be, money and time don't always allow.

We all want to experience it so in certain situations we will let things slide. Suspension, brakes, and tires should not be something we ignore, I had a blow out because I rode on old tires, and I will never do it again, good tires are invaluable.

Just my opinion

[88turbotime]

Lol, you still weren't driving insane. You simply grew a set of balls... :hurray:
hey bitch, i had balls all along. I just dont like abusing my car, but i guess one weekend per year won't hurt much (hopefully) :D

[djmtsu]

what waiver?

The piece of paper you printed your name on and signed when checking in at registration.

And I think people should be responsible enough to go over their own cars before attempting to tame the Dragon.

Brakes: 75% left on pads, fluid clean, no cracks in hoses or leaks.
Tires: New (less than 100 miles prior to DGRR)
Tune Up: New plugs the day before, oil change, wires replaced last fall
Suspension: Bone stock, alignment perfect, no broken sway links or rotted bushings.

All that took was 10 minutes while the car was in the air for changing the oil.

You're smart about it though... A lot of people aren't.

Did you check your lug nuts?

[Nismo]

And I think people should be responsible enough to go over their own cars before attempting to tame the Dragon.

While I agree I disagree, it's called cover your ass, that person in front of you or behind you could mess your shit up, it's called due diligence, cover their ass to cover your own. If I see something wrong, I will let them know, how you would you feel if you noticed a missing lug nut, and then end up like this guy?

http://media.beaned.com/allVideo/afimage2377.JPG

Or if you see a tire that needs air and it the tire blows causing the car to spin, and takes out some one enjoying the scenery, how would you feel? Yes they should be responsible for their own car, but I think as a fellow enthusiast, friend and fellow motorist you HAVE to say something, what do you have to lose?

[djmtsu]

Did you check your lug nuts?

Absolutely! Put the wheels on Monday night, drove it to work Tuesday, and re-torqued the wheels on Wednesday night.

I do plan on updating the suspension before DGRR 2K9. Stock wasn't cutting it. Not when I was busting my ass trying to keep up with fikren's RX-8 and the whole time a new Civic SI was on my ass.

:squint:

I agree. And the sad thing is as a firefighter I see alot of things that need to be changed / done but won"t be until some one is really hurt or dies. Proactive instead or reactive

[djmtsu]

Nismo, I see what you are saying. If I saw something wrong with someone else's car, I would say something. But logistically, it would be a nightmare to inspect everyones car prior to letting them run.

[Nismo]

Well just inspect the car behind you, and in front of you, takes 10 mins, and all the cars get checked a few times over?

[My5ABaby]

Absolutely! Put the wheels on Monday night, drove it to work Tuesday, and re-torqued the wheels on Wednesday night.

I feel ya on the stock suspension. It's just not cutting it, and mine is 22 years old.

[Phoenix7]

damn, I will forever stay away from pink FCs on the road. :lol: glad you're all alive still.

[Pink Flea]

Yes I was the one wearing the Mazda jacket.... Nic, Bite me.. I love you too.
Im a good driver Just had an accident. Out of the 3 accidents I have been in up there only 1 was my fault... I just have bad luck in general, LOL. Phoenix its not just pink FC's you need out watch out for, I have a black 8 also.. HAHA

[sinequanon]

I think what they mean is, judging by your own posts, you seem...prone to maybe not-totally thought out actions that can lead to bad results? You yourself said you left your keys in car and locked yourself out of the same day. So maybe a little scattered. :)

Did you just call her Blonde? Do you have no shame :toetap05::boxing_smiley:

[Pink Flea]

LOL, they are just razzing me because they know me personally... They are like the big brothers who look out for me but torture me at the same time, especially I8U (Nic)...
You would think I was a blonde but Im not.

[praxis1301]

Slightly off topic...

You would think I was a blonde but Im not.

I can't rag on you since I don't really know you... but I can quote one of my high school coaches:

"Blonde is not a hair color, but a state of mind"

Back to topic...

There were quite a few bumps, scuffs, scratches, dents, dings, and all out can openings that made me 'bout cry lookin' at 'em... (i.e. the above pics...)i'm just glad everyone made it out w/o any major injury!

[sinequanon]

Did you just call her Blonde? Do you have no shame :toetap05::boxing_smiley:

hehe. Nope, no shame. Hell, I'm the one that left all but my camera body and one lense 4 1/2 hours away and had to stop at a walmart to get a new memory card for my camera....after packing everything the night before, printing 3 sets of directions, a check list....I am the pot calling the kettle black. ;)

[Phoenix7]

I'm spacey and absent-minded sometimes but pink-flea beats me.

[Pink Flea]

Hey, Im the first to admit Im clueless most of the time.. At least Im aware of it.
I still had a great time overall, met alot of awesome people and cant wait til next year!!

HAHAHAHA! I love you too babe! But seriously you really do need to take a break from driving for awhile. I still say all 3 accidents were your fault though...duh you were in a car...point made! HAHA!

[Ga8rFan]

i am just pleased that my car made it back home in the same condition as when i departed! I must say some of thos bikers were driving like tards!

[BlueflameFE]

Janna's to do list for next dragon event:

1. Improve driving skill, and knowing when not to push.
2. Improve mechanical condition of car; both cars I have seen needed work- tires,brakes,etc.
3. Wait until you park your car for the day before imbibing....

:beatdeadhorse5:

Everyone who meets you Janna likes you, but we end up scared to death of being around you....

[Pourman]

7 is a lucky number , you own a 7 , you have to change your luck Girlie :) ... you have a WHOLE year , j/p ;)

[Pink Flea]

Not a whole year.. BOTD is in September... LOL
The 8 has had a complete overhaul so she will be good to go... The only thing wrong with her right now is the fact that while I was up there the body shop flooded the engine so they are working on fixing that. I think that my luck will change for BOTD and if it dosent then I promise I will stay away... :O)

[Nexcis]

Naw, dont' stay away... just don't drive or leave the lodge! :reddevil:

j/k

[Pink Flea]

I did get behind her once on and did not want to push her as it was after her wreck so I backed off a few times. She really was not driving bad.

Thank you!!! Im not a bad driver at all.. I was only going around 35 - 40 MPH when I had my accident, which was the 1st accident I have ever had in my life. The rest of the stuff was not my fault, just heppened to be in the wrong place a tthe wrong time.

[Phoenix7]

in all seriousness, it's good that nobody was hurt badly and that everyone can laugh about the whole situation.

Thats gonna be my new myspace profile pic!!

[Terrh]

I don't have any pics but I completely trashed my rear tires between the gap, the skyway, and the 1500km each way of driving.

they were fine when I left, probably 5 or 6/32 of tread!

GTR + 225's = they die quick.

If you just happen to be missing a lug nut or sometime during your trip your tire pressure changes due to WHATEVER is totally different than leaving home to drive 600 miles to DGRR without checking your tire pressure, the condition of your tires, checking your brakes, etc. AND if you're dying to go to DGRR despite the fact that your car needs servicing, the least you can do is park it to keep from endangering others. It's not fair to put anyone in danger or even damage anyone's car when an accident is due to negligence. And as far as inspections go... it's up to the individual owner to make sure their car is in decent condition. A person who's minimally responsible would stay off the Dragon if there's anything visibly wrong with their car.... and if they weren't sure, they'd ask someone who can check it out for them. I do think if anyone sees a potential hazzard, you should say something. Hopefully anyone who poses a potential hazzard to others will be considerate.

I agree with this, people need to tune up there cars before the journey. 100 miles on the tires though? I live in mid illinois. its well over 100 miles to dgrr. ha

[Phoenix7]

this reminds me, isn't pinkflea expecting?

Lol, I was referring to my FC! At the time, the tires had 100 miles on them prior to DGRR last year.

Im confused and scared after reading this thread. First I hear about how scary the dragon is and how its difficult to tame.... I just drove it the other day in my Nissan Truck... (same as all the other roads around here) Then I hear about some waiver? so I will be driving next to people that think that roads scary and if they hit me I cant expect to claim it on anyone's insurance? Idk maybe I heard wrong, But I might have to drive my truck again sounds like I will be able to keep up with everyone anyway....
