The best part of the whole rally was the driving. I mean all of it. Every road to and from the dragon is simply amazing. The dragon itself is the icing on the cake. To be honset, I find the roads to and from the best. Getting to see everyone again and meeting new people came a close second haha!

The worst part is the food around the lodge. That burger place is awesome but everything else falls flat!

I had a great time the whole trip! Driving the gap was great, and being at th lodge and the cabin hanging out with new friends was great!..... the bad.. well me and a small group decided to go up to the gap and make a few passes on saturday. well I lead our pack and we got .4 miles on it and me and the driver behind me both got ticked for going 76 in a 30! the other driver got 74... so those are pretty hefty tickets and somewhat ruined the gap for that afternoon.. we then decided to go drive the skyway not knowing how long it really was. on the way we hooked up with another group going to the skyway. we got to the top and were worn out of driving by then. somone in the group thought that it was quicker to keep going on the skyway because to looped around back towards the cabin. well we finnished the whole thing and stopped at a gas station in A town that had no power. by then we saw that the quickest way back was to go back on the entire skyway. so we drove back and got there just in time for the banquete. at the banquete I won a bunch of really cool prizes and that made up for the whole day i think!
All in all I had a blast and cant wait for next year!

SSSSOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best: I have (alleged

) proof the FC NA can go 74 on the gap.
Worst: A Tennessee state trooper supplied the proof.

Social!!!!

LOL. Best was getting back with the rotary community at an event like DGRR. Roads were awesome, everyone friendly, not too punishing being in a
v8.

Worst was the drive home from the Mitty....

87turbo_turtle · 05-02-2011, 12:56 PM

Lol I need rest before work so skipped the Mitty. Good having u v8 boys out there

Best was being the passenger the whole time, thus saving $$$ on gas

Worst? Can't think of anything off hand.

Battleship!!!!

Best, the driving! Also, hot tub girl on girl action...

Worse, gas prices and killing my AFR gauge.

pics or it did happen.

Best part - riding in on the dragon and meeting people.

Worst part - not bringing my own FD.
