The only thing taming the the beast is the 6 to 10 LEO cars on the dragon. In all fairness, we did pass a few of them at about 40ish (all of the dragon is 30 mph) and they didn't touch us. One of our guys went ahead to take a little video of us going by so he was all alone and the Sherriff even admitted it to him, he was pulled over because he was "not in a group". They wrote him up for improper license plate mount and not having his license on him. He left his wallet in the truck and he has a swing arm mounted plate. That doesn't fly in TN. We went back looking for him and he waved as we went by, so the officer asked if we were his group. After he said yes, he told him to warn me about my competition werks license plate. He would have pulled me over if I was alone. Take it for what it is... but don't go at it alone.

I'm heading down to deal's gap from Mississauga, Ontario this spring. If anyone is from Ontario or wants to meet me on the way down just let me know. I am thinking either April or early May.

Here's the route to know if you're along the way:

Im there Nov 2-4. What is the general consenses on the speed limit. I know its posted as 30 but no one obeys that. If I stay 40 or below will i be ok? 30 is so hard to do without weaving back and forth between the reflectors or some other way to entertain yourself.
