Tail of The Dragon "2007" Date:TBD
ROAD TRIP!!!!  Be sure to read this whole thread and see links below.. its full of info. This thread is to judge REAL SERIOUS INTEREST in a road trip to the TN/NC border sometime in 2007 to put the dragons tail between its legs.. What is the Tail of The Dragon? The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, with 318 curves in 11 miles, is America ’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. It has almost twice as many curves as Nurburgring in Germany. If you are serious about driving, want to use those mods to their fullest, and enjoy a good road trip.. this is the event for you. You... should drive this road once in your lifetime.. The date and arrangements have not yet been finalized. I can tell you that it will be late Spring or early Summer 2007 and that this will require at least Thursday - Sunday to complete and that is with driving straight through. There will be a few options for those that want to take a little more time coming and going. I realize this is a ways off but an event like this takes some good planning. I will need to get final car club dates to ensure we do not go during MINI Cooper or Miata weekend.. Each of these events bring up to 500 cars just to drive this road! So post up and SUBSCRIBE if you are REALLY SERIOUSLY INTERESTED .. More updates as time goes on. LINKS OF INTEREST: www.tailofthedragon.com www.dealsgap.com www.killboy.com http://www.zeefoto.com/ http://moonshinephoto.com/dealsgap.html A little video for your viewing pleasure: A 1 minute video to give you a better idea of just what this road is all about.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPvdesOMCZo And finally.. Anyone that has ideas or suggestions for this event, please feel free to send me a PM! Trust me, credit will be given for your idea.. Thanks, Craig

Well I was looking online and there are 4-12 person cabins at Carey Cabin Rentals. They are cheap too. About how many hours does it take to drive down there?

It takes about 12 hours to get there.. I personally would leave Wed night after work and get a good way down and finish up on Thursday to have Fri and Sat to play. There are several places to stay.. Topoco Lodge is right down the road too.. If there is enough interest I may see if we can get a group discount rate..

I've actually driven on part of this road before when I was down in NE Tennessee to visit my grandparents. I'd heard about it and we drove over to check it out. It's an awesome road and well worth the trip. The only disappointing part is when I saw it I was driving a Toyota Avalon so it wasnt the greatest driving, but still awesome.
The Cherohala (Spelling?) Skyway is also an awesome road to drive on. The scenery is incredible imho. Last edited by dwl137; 09-28-2006 at 02:55 PM. |

I know I can drive the 12 hours straight, but maybe other people cannot.

How would this sound as an Itinerary:
Leave wednesday morning and stay the night in Roanoke VA (which is at the end of the Blue ridge parkway if I am not mistaken). Finish the drive down on Thursday and get some good rest to attack it Friday and Saturday. Leave sunday morning for the long trip home.
