Topless, it was 10x more fun than driving the Tail of the Dragon, and a lot safer.

Of course, I still want to go back to the TOD, but this time I will drive it faster, safer, and know what's going on with the physics of my car. I can't believe I didn't kill myself last year on that twisty road.

DE's are as much fun as a man can have with his clothes on.

I bought a photo of me on the banked straight doing about 105 mph. I could have hit 125 or higher had I learned how to nail turn 13, allowing me to sail through 14 and 15 and build some steam up before I hit the oval bit of the track.

Looks like fun Randall! I drove the October and November DEs in Dallas and seriously considered doing this one too; obviously I did not make it. Perhaps in 09 we can gather a few people from the forum for some DE fun. I keep bugging Jeph to go but he won't listen to me and does AX instead.
