Besides the Dragon we hit up a couple of other roads in the area and we finished the night up with a quick photoshoot of Mike’s AP2 and Fernando’s NA1.

Click here if you missed part 1.

Everyone was prepping their cars first thing in the morning. Here Fernando is removing the blue tape off the car.

Kevin making sure the windshield of his SI is nice and clean.

Taking tape off is a painstakingly long process, apparantly.

Billman doing a valve adjustment for someone.

Waiting for the troops to gather.

Mike sitting on his TE37 rt’s. #TEam37

Fernando parked up with his CE’s.

Stan started experiencing some clutch problems on the drive down so him and Billman decided to check it out real quick. Another #TEam37 member.

Billman back to work on the valve adjustment.

Historic Tapoco Lodge is where we spent the week. A great place with a lot of history to it. At one point it was owned by Alcoa and used as a retreat for employees.

Yup Fernando again. There’s just something about NA1 NSX’s. I think I’ll own one some day. But an NA2 with popups.

Stan getting down and dirty. After this we headed over to Deals Gap for breakfast then hit up the dragon a little after that.

Mike experiencing the dragon for one of the first times.

A quick stop at Deal’s Gap again.

We pulled over to take pictures at the top of the dragon.

One of the many gorgeous views of the week.

Back to driving we go with Stan giving chase to Fernando with me and Mike close behind.

Pulled over for another break/more pics.

Group shot.

Photoshoot time.

As the sun disappeared we headed back through the dragon at night and had a little party back at the cabin.

Fairly stock NA1 coming around turn 1.

Joe aka Doespike made the trip from upstate NY.

Local s2ki member freq was also on hand.

Another shot of the red NA1.

Him giving chase to another stockish red NA1.

A pair of silver NA2’s.

Not too often you see a line of NSX’s on track.

While I did manage to get pics of this spinout I should have gotten better. As I was watching him I had a feeling he was going to lose it, but I turned to start snapping images of cars further behind him. Then I started to hear the squeal of tires and managed to get these images. Next time I know to just listen to my gut and keep shooting the same car. If nothing happens I can get the rest on the next lap. And if you’re wondering owner and the car were just fine.

As you can see in this image at times the clouds looked pretty menacing, but overall the weather held out. On the drive in I actually hit some rain in NY. Once closer to the track though it had stopped and was major foggy. I do have a few images that’ll be in the next or third part of the cars out in the fog. By the end of the day all the clouds were gone and it was sunny.

Clean 911. There a few porsches out there.

Interesting choice with the yellow accents on the car. I’m not much of a fan of it.

Thumbs up as this NA1 heads out for one of the first sessions of the day.

Getting some instruction on how to drive the track.

Real clean 20th anniversary GTI that was out there.

Another really well built NSX that was turboed. Unfortunately as he went around turn 1 here, something happened…

If I remember correctly, the turbo blew. Not sure though, been a while since I was there. I do remember him working on the car in the paddock the rest of the day trying to get it back running.

When the turbo blew oil spilled out all over the track. The clean up crew headed out there to clean it up best as they could.

There were a couple of ITR’s out there, including mine sitting in the paddock.

Going to leave it off with this really sick 911 coming around turn 1 after the clean up crew had finished. As you can see the corner worker had the red/yellow striped flag out which is warning the drivers that there is debris on the track. You’ll see in the upcoming pictures that there was still some sand left and the cars were leaving dust clouds as the went around turn 1 here.

Hope you enjoyed and look out for part 2 this weekend.
