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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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:

Lol, you still weren't driving insane. You simply grew a set of balls... :hurray:

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

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

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?

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?

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?

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:
