Shit, that looks fun. But it's 10 hours or so... ugh

And the chance of being hit/sideswiped by some big ass trailer is better than slim to none since tractor trailers also traverse this roadway....:eyebulge:

It's "Tail" not "Trail" .. trail makes it sound so mundane.. and this road is anything but!

I've driven from my home in Ontario,Canada several times to the Dragon and it's about 16hrs each way if your hauling .. well worth the trip and if I had one of the twins it would be making its debut on the Dragon.

I've driven it numerous times and haven't ever seen a tractor trailer on it. You will be fine.


Also to anyone planning on attending this meet you don't have to worry about booking a room as we already have lodging for everyone covered. You might want to bring an inflatable mattress as there are only 7 beds and 1 pull out couch but you won't have to spend a bunch of money for a hotel.

Little too early in the year, autocrosses starting up all over the place around then. I'll def go in the future though.

Check on their website. They have banned 18 Wheelers on majority of the highways. Dragon and the Skyway are 2 of them.

Not going, but it should be said: Don't drive like it's your last day alive, otherwise it will literally be your last day alive.

Okay, so there's more and more people going to this great meet. The house that we have will only sleep like 8. We would like all of your help with this. Within walking distance there are two other houses. If you say you are in the party with Josh Ace you will get the military discount. We would like to thank everyone for their participation and help in this matter. Help us make this the best 86 meet on the East Coast.
Here's the link for the other houses:
