Based on what I've seen.....trim it to 0 deg AOA till you get where you're going.

Thanks for the info Terri...I have GC brain injury I think. I could see his face and not his name.

REPOST.....

Taking pics of wrecked Zs isn't kicking peeps when they are down, it's keeping a record of events.

And the congestion is exactly why a lot of us "ZDAYZ vets" come a few days early....that way by the time the weekend and the congestion rolls around, we just sit back and enjoy the festivities
Amen to this. My introduction to the Dragon was in the dark, in the rain and HEAVY fog (Smokey Mtns for a reason) AFTER already driving 12 hours. I am NOT doing that again.

I hear you on the congestion -- last year wasn't TOO bad on Saturday because we generally stayed off the Dragon then and took other routes. I cannot wait to hit it up on Weds/Thurs this year!


PS Team Purple Drank will dominate beer pong. Know this.

Even in the early morning most likely you won't be the only one out there.
I did, that is for sure. After I saw pictures of incidents and such I behaved myself.

I was never first in line, and on the way down there last year the ppl in front of me (about 10 of them) were hauling a$s and it was raining out. I had brand new tires but didn't care. I got to Fontana 15 mins after they did and never scared myself once. I had a death-grip ANYWAY in the pitch black fog.

Yeah it was honestly one of the scariest drives of my life. I was so pissed no one waited for me but at least I had a GPS with the actual hotel on it. The one I have now doesn't but if I am close I know where to go, and it won't be dark out.

I really hope the rain chills out this year. We definitely had some good drives last year but it got annoying.

LOL I know that silly HAHAHA! I just can't seem to get a good shot angle from the pass headrest either. It's probably my lame camera.....and the fact that it was tossed off the back of a golf cart or.............somefin......LOL!!!!!!

I'll help ya plant that rear

As far as the tape, I had some that I had to remove, first I let it sit all day in the sun and heat, even then I had to break out the hair dryer and a credit card and half a bottle of goo gone to scrape that shizzle off....then again I was going to cover that area back up so I didn't give a F U C K if it scratched the paint or not, I wasn't too careful....

Good lord I think it took me 3 days to get my hands back to normal after my first trip down the dragon in the same conditions, and I think I had cuts on my hands too from my fingernails.....EEK!!!!!!!! I'm glad I wasn't the only one to experience that. Lucky for me I had some boys that kept stopping and waiting for "little sister" to catch up.....thank god. My GPS just kept showing "pretty blue water" off to my right, and I couldn't see that pretty blue water and it scared the **** out of me lol....
