Default 2012 Dragon Run Recap

Figured I'd make a new thread for the recap with pictures, videos and such to show much fun everyone missed out on!

The trip was crazy and awesome, had a lot of fun times and met a bunch of new people. Stories and such to come later on!

Klasse Act- Thanks for the invite and I'm glad I came. Wish i could attempt to keep a car as clean as yours! Glad we could help you find the back hole on your crz lol, Also its okay you were scared to ride with me or item haha.

Item9- Two words, white devil. Crazy ass dude, we definitely tore it up BUT obeyed every single traffic law as well. Thanks for letting me drive the car, I think next spring ill have to get the sc kit.

B-rad aka the dirtiest crz ever- Glad there was someone else that could keep up with me and item9, unlike klasse act (just giving you crap roge) Love the stance and the blue recaros. Cant wait to see if you get boost next year.


Here's a few pictures ..... many to come!

Probably a dumb question, that will receive a dumb answer, but.... what is the Dragon Run?

The photos from killboy.com on the 11th and 12th are up on his site now. I imagine the other days will be up tomorrow or so. I always buy his photos when I drive the Dragon.
US129photos.com and Moonshinephoto.com have their photos up through the 13th.

Glad you all had a fun time! Wish I could have been there.

If I recall, you do get a discount as you buy more, but it is pricey.
I've enjoyed getting my photos from the 3 photographers while I've been there.

Oh snap... I know what you're talking about now. It's in the smokey mountains? Some motrcycle ran off the road a couple months back and he died from the drop off. Did you see the tree of shame? I was just in Pigeon Forge last month but we drove the Wife's civic sedan. I had enough mountain driving and banjo playing. I'm a city boy at heart. HA!

Even though I was having issues with my GoPros the entire time, I still managed to get some good footage. Here is one of the better ones on the Dragon:



The chase camera is on Carzee's CR-Z. This is by far the cleanest run we had with very little traffic holding us back. I try to slow down periodically to not lose the chase camera, but I DO try to lose it at the end. I also would like to send out a very special THANK YOU to the Sheriff who completely ignored us.
