Default DFR 2016 Drive: Devil's Triangle

Hey everyone! How about a run through Devil's Triangle via Hilltops, then returning to Dragon Saturday after the rollout. https://goo.gl/maps/ocT2Y7zz39E2

Looking for a Group Leader and a Tail Gunner. Limit this drive to a max of 7 cars. If more are interested, we can add a second group.

This will be a moderate drive for experienced drivers. There is no runoff off the right side of the road. (See http://devilstriangletn.com/)

We can plan to stop and eat, possibly in Rocky Top (not mapped but close).

Can this be added to the group drive list, when it's created?

1. TBA - Group Leader
2. JoePhotographer - Jamie
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. TBA - Tail Gunner

This drive is for the more experience drivers. There is no runoff on this road. The white traffic stripe and then nothing. At 40 mph its a very challenging drive. Some said that they wouldn't go back. If you decided to go don't push it period.

Updated the Description. Once I remember how to edit the title, I'll take the extra "D" out.

Here is my video from 2016. Link to the 14:14 mark to see devil's triangle. It's a safer drive going Counter clockwise as the mountain side is on the inside.

enjoy the ride!
