I took this one. Miata won, Crotch Rocket lost. Not sure who crossed the Yellow but I think I could guess Who! The rocket was under the guardrail!

I see motorcyles of all kinds CROSS the DOUBLE YELLOW line at the Dragon all the time....Typically, the rider is driving beyond his ability...If not it is a STUPID crotch rocket, cutting corners to go even faster than 100 MPH...I pulled over last weekend at a corner turn (at the Dragon) and just watched for about 20 mintues....Saw probably 5 or 6 guys cross the yellow line...

To be honest I have crossed that yellow line both on purpose and by accident, on the dragon's back and in my own back yard. I know what my machines limits are and do all I can, but can't control the other guy, ride like your life depends on it, because it does.
