Yeah... I didn't lead because the other guys have actually driven The Dragon before, and I hadn't..................also I tend to push the car a little too hard, and that's not exactly the road you wanna do that on
I assume you saw the rest of the pics? ---> https://g35driver.com/forums/event-p...yz-2011-a.html

Oh wait, I forgot I hadn't posted any of the videos from The Dragon anywhere...
The 350Z guys have a bunch of really nice ones: http://my350z.com/forum/media-share/...ml#post9167046
The HD vids mounted to the bumper (like the first one) are the best.
But note on the first vid, he doesn't hit the really twisty stuff until almost 2mins in.
You'll see there's one vid of "28"... to me, that road was actually more fun to drive than "The Dragon" (part of 129) because it was twisty, but not overly-so, and it was a little wider and less "deadly" on the edges of the road, so you could actually open it up, get some speed, and enjoy driving it hard a little better.
On the Dragon, I never got out of 2nd.

^Thanks for the thread bump 
Yeah, I do plan on painting the trim. I actually have several things that need to be done at the body shop... I just have to actually make myself go spend the money
Some of the racebike guys are absolutely insane. I remember coming around a left-hander that was very banked, I'm in the outside (obviously) and 'round the inside comes a bike laid completely horizontal with the horizon
the only think keeping him on the road was centrifugal force into the corner, and the steep bank. I was so scared he was going to lose traction and skid right under my car
