I've got to say it, Dragon is awesome in so many ways, I'm a fan of RB's builds, the level of detail is awesome, and it's not only small bodywork and minor upgrading... MY ASS, they go for it, they create totally different stuff from the original, and it's still a car you can recognize. I want to see the Afterburner finished too.

I've always been curious on a build like this, but when will you get the car back to Arizona? I know it will be at Goodguys this weekend but I'm sure there will a tour or what a year or so before you can bring the car home, so when will you bring it home? I've always been curious as to how this works, and I know not every build is the same just curios about this one since its in my home town..

Look forward to seeing it this weekend.

You're correct it will go on a tour. I have a home not far from the Ring Brothers as well so I'm sure I'll have it soon.

Mothers invited the Dragon back to SEMA in 2011 so it will be there!

I think Mike may have been referring to the body roll moreso than wheel travel. It does seem to have a lot of roll given the speeds under which the pics were taken.

No. Wheel articulation was fine. I was told it was a bolt rubbing on the inner wheel hoop.

I'm sure if it was built for the track only it would have different spring ratings. I was just looking for a solid car on and off the track and that is just what I got!:thumbsup:

I've seen this car up close (twice now) and spoken with JA Stoner at SEMA, the car is incredible top to bottom, front to back... and Mr Stoner is a class act himself and a very nice man. It was a thrill to have not only one but TWO ring bros. cars in the studios at one time!, although Dragon nudges past the other car on the sheer ambitiousness of the build... It's really interesting to see Mike and Jim beat the holy poo out of these cars, and have complete confidence in not only the cars being able to handle it, but to have the confidence that if there's a rock chip or a cone mishap... "it's only paint", and it can all be recreated and represented as well again... Im a huge fan of the RINGs, their company, and their products. It's great to see guys like this rise to the top of the heap by virtue and good old fashioned hard work and integrity. ( not to mention insane talent and vision)

Trust me, if you get a chance to see this car ( or any Ring creation) up close... take the time and do it! it will inspire you, i'm sure.

We had an amazing time in Columbus as well we feel very privilege to have been one of the five selected for the Good Guys Street Machine of the Year. Congratulations to all that were selected and to the team that won.

2011 Street Machine of the Year at the 14th PPG Nationals held last weekend in Columbus, Ohio. The Nova was built by Jeremy and Phil Gerber of the Roadster Shop in Mundelein, Illinois.

The Dragon was perfect on the track! I could have did that all day…
The Ring Brothers are a wonderful team and the work they did for us was above reproach in our heart.
Thank you,
Alex

I think the Ring Brother need to change there approach and start debuting at Columbus. I think the novelty of something being new is probably why your car isn't the 2011 SMOY.

Maybe true, but given the prestige and notariety of the awards Dragon won at SEMA when it did debut, I highly doubt there is any regret.

i mentioned that the debut thing imo is also what plagued the fairlain form not winning last year, but from my view i dont think smoty is RB main goal as they have already won 2 of them and life jeff noted they always kill the sema show.

ps. i thought the inovater for RS won?

Correct it was my typo.

Thanks for all the great input.

I wish I could travel to all the shows with the Dragon; that would give me even more time on the track.:wow:

To be honest we were honored with the Mothers Shine for 2010. It would be great if everyone won for their great cars.

We had a blast at the show.

It was great meeting so many folks that just love cars, all cars.

I was wondering about the mirrors on the Dragon
Is it Talbot 300 SR or JR?

By the way - quite nice ride:bow:
