    It was my first Dragon. I saw the Donut Run was "moderate" - it was the fastest drive we went on while we were there.

    40 really? :lol:

    I know I was doing more like 85 - 95ish and saw triple digits in a few spots.

    As for my current bumper, let's just say it's more white at the bottom then it is Chili Red. It's 8 years old and beat to hell so it's had a good life.

    Do I regret killing it after I redid it before the Dragon? Not one bit , I had a blast. :Thumbsup::lol:

    Jesse, moderate is the center lane, spirited is the left lane (closest to the General Store). You were in the correct lane :)

    tWard....
    I do like the absence of stripes on the hood.... It lets the contours on the hood show better without being interrupted by the stripes...:Thumbsup:

    But I'm more impressed on how you are able to park your MINI on the garage ceiling.... You must have some very sticky tires....:D

    This weekend I installed Euro tail lights and had R56 seat brackets modded to use R53 belt tensioners.

    Replaced the factory dipstick with the CravenSpeed one. Definite improvement.

    I luckily pulled up into the proper lane when I rolled up for the Donut Run - I was not disappointed.

    I was, however, disappointed in the other 'runs' I tried to participate in... nothing measured up to the Donut Run. :frown2:

    That's because it's the Donut Run, not the Donut Drive.

    of course, with all the grease in those donuts, you could encounter a different kind of donut "run". :arf:

    I remember someone saying "It's run not a race". I guess I did not understand what a run was. :lol: :rolleyes::devil:

    I think that comment was an anti-liability statement :)

    Racing implies passing... And nobody passed anybody there Mr. Sideways...

    Race as is which group showed up first.

    Oh and I could have passed someone on the foothills but it would have made Blakes car look like the front of mine now.

    Ok, Mr drove off the Dragon with new tires and big Willwood worthless brakes. :lol:
