Hey all,
Every year myself and several others head over to the Tennesee/North Carolina border to drive a stretch of US129 called "The Tail of The Dragon" With all due respect to Clarkson and his rant about "No American who designed that chassis has no clue that a road like this even exists" , He hasn't driven the Dragon. 318 turns in an 11 mile span. Switchbacks and esses so tight you can see who's behind you in your side mirrors
Pre-Trip prep:
My Car:
My buddys Boosted IS:
On the road:
On the Dragon:
Tree of Shame at Deals Gap Cycle Shop/Motel:
Fontana Dam:
Scenic Backdrop:
At the hotel/lodge:
All in all a fun trip and one I would suggest you make if you like challenging roads. Hopefully I'll have some video soon as well. For more info visit www.tailofthedragon.com and www.dealsgap.com.
