    What a great trip! Looks like you had a great time, once again.

    Still a bucket list item I need to do...especially now that I have the BRZ in the garage.

    Awesome, I want to make this trip so bad but it’s quite a hike from the Denver area. I actually grew up in No Ill and have almost all of my friends/family still there. A friend of mine just got a newer Audi A4 and was driving all over the country when he first got it. He was telling me he was in that region and I almost had to threaten him to drive the dragon. Once he did he had a blast

    How far of a drive is it from your part of the country?

    And now you know why I’ve never been to the Dragon even though I live nearby. I would be so pissed if I were going that slow on such scrumptious curves.

It gave you a great chance to see the yaw rate of the car going around the turn and how Scott lined it up perfectly for the corner exit.

    This part has always worried me about the dragon, some people I've talked to mention getting stuck behind caravans of slow moving RVs or other tourists. I've lost count of the times I've gone out to drive some remote, twisty back roads in my area and got stuck behind and RV or other slow moving vehicle where it is quite obvious the driver is scared to death of having to go around a turn. Not having a shoulder or turn-out place to stop to wait them out doesn't help either.

    I still desperately want to do it, just for the experience. I could see going out there, driving the Dragon, and then promptly heading out into some of the other lesser traveled, spectacular roads in that area. I've been looking over maps for years and day dreaming about those roads...
