Lots of other roads I greatly prefer (basically pick any of them near there) but deals gap is worth doing at least once in your life. After a couple times I got bored of it and moved on to more relaxing, less repetitive roads.

Plus it has lots of traffic and is heavily patrolled. Many tickets handed out for speed and left of center. MR2 Spyder owners are heading there in mid to late September for their annual fall run and again in April or May for their 13th annual Spring run.

I was in knoxville a couple of months ago and took the long way back to Charlotte to include a trip across the dragon in my rented chevy sonic. That poor car.

But do be careful. A local club made a run there this spring and one of the guys left the road in his M6 and totalled it and another guy (not with the club) launched off the road into the trees as well. I think a harley guy dies while they were there as well.

@rock the car is spotless! Way to make black look good!

Thanks, washed it before I left. :)

Yeah that car is way too clean, nice pictures!

I haven't been to the Dragon since around 2004 but I'd love to go back, and I live way closer this time around.

Was that a photo from killboy or one of the other local pros? Or did you drop off a friend and make a few passes?

I'd love to go to the Dragon's Tail, but like someone already from what I've read up on and seen in vids. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL! The guys from skyline owners usa went one year, they got lucky and was able to run the road first right after it reopened due to a mud-slide that morning. It heavily patrolled because of all the sport cars and bikes, along with all the accidents that has happend there.
