With all of those lights you better be in front. And leave the rear fogs turned off, we can see you just fine!

Gotta leave the rear fogs on because its kinda like a "beacon in the nights":shrug:, especially out there where its pitch black! I've added yellow Lamin-X to my headlights and fogs, so the car looks a bit different, but the light output is still great. BTW I've now got Viper-style stripes in white that go over the entire front bumper, bonnet, boot and rear bumper and for the roof I've gone with metallic dark green, stole the idea from the MINI Challenge car. If/when I get the front driving lights they will be about 6-6.5" in circumfrence and covered in the same yellow Lamin-X that I currently have, this way its all uniform.
Now, has anyone gotten any other recruits to go down there with us
I know its early to get a commitment from some people, but when it comes to vacation time its a good thing because you lock up the time now so you're not scrambling at the last minute.hectik1

I am going to start calling your car "Christmas tree" with all the lights you are adding/already have!:laugh:

Well I better get some LEDs then since those are real popular during the Christmas holidays, but how about the star that goes on top...:shrug: I got it, I need the Rally Monte Carlo sign up top like the old rally Mini had back in the mid 60's, what do you think:
Wait, that's an actual toy car, how about this one then
I think I found the perfect light set-up for the night running of the Dragon!
Wait, no, this one instead!
Maybe we all take a year off and try this road out!!!
I've thought about this for some time now and it would add to the cost of the Dragon run a bit, but what do you guys think about a magnetic sign on our doors for our Dragon run done like this? Don't think we'd get into trouble using its likeness, but it would look cool and show everyone we're together and make for a great photo opt on those guys sits that take all the pics! It would be something to show all the other CEG-ers out there as to what level our Fall Run has come to!
Here's your sign!
I know we have some creative people out there, Hectour, and we certainly have the connections as to where to go to make the magnetic signs (Parkedcar) I don't see this damaging anyones car as I wouldn't want that for sure. So what do you guys think about this, suggestions for the sign, the idea, another idea, etc? Lets just grow this a bit bigger, no competition with SZ or anything, but maybe an alternative to it and/or something closer for those down in the southeast area of the country.

This way I could put a couple used tires from the back of an Exige 240S mounted on my stock rims that I use for the winter up top and the other two in the boot area. Once out there, I could pull over, remove the street tires and then have a bit more grip out there and add to the experience:laugh:

Fuel tank for the 86 is in transit. Very close to the road now. Very low compression has me worried I'll have to rebuild the head though. This motor only has like five moving parts, right? :shrug:

I'm sure those will look pretty good and not interfer with the surroundings at all and will add a level of safety right there that didn't exisist before, a win win IMO:shrug: Now I just hope they're done with them by the end of April when the MINI invasion happens down there, especially that dirt on the side of the road...I'm sure it will!
Reviewing the voting, reading what Jerry said and counting my buddy has us nearing the upper teens for amount of cars, now this is good for sure and more are welcomed but Hectour and I were talking yesterday and IIRC I brought this up before, is the ability to break up the groups into two, but not like you might think, check it out. We'd have one group head out at whatever time and the second group head out about 15 minutes later. We'd still meet up at one of the two meeting sites at the end of the real part of the Dragon, one would be where that cop busted the family in the Jag and the other is where that lake has dried up to do the dam. What do you guys think about this, suggestions are welcome and can you believe it, we've just about got the weekend picked BEFORE SZ this year

One group, two groups, whatever. :shrug: If we go as one we'll end up in two anyway. If people really want to split that's fine by me. We'll just need things to be more planned out so people don't get lost.
