Posted on www.tailofthedragon.com:

"Late in the afternoon (around 3:30pm) Ron went for a quick run and found an accident just a mile from Overlook, caused by an intentional oil slick. Three additional spills were found in the next mile. In addition gravel had been thrown in the road in several locations. We notified TNHP and warned riders of the danger ahead.
TAIL OF THE DRAGON IS POSTING A $1,000 DOLLAR REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO POURED OIL ONTO THE ROADWAY ON SEPT 23, 2001 - CONTACT BLOUNT COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPT OR TENNESSEE HIGHWAY PATROL WE HAVE RECOVERED EVIDENCE THAT MAY LEAD TO AN ARREST.

It's amazing what some people will do just to get a laugh. . .

What they never realize is that they are playing with people's lives!

That was just WRONG

The dragon is dangerous enough without people trying to cause accidents

Can't believe the S2000's made The Tail of the Dragon news! Still can't believe those pics.

IMO, it's the hunters that put the oil and the gravel on the road. The police should be looking for dog paw prints near the scene of the crime.

Speaking of, I guess that dog that ran out in front of Cortez was really lucky he wasn't bitten by the Dragon.

Probably the inbred hunters from down there.

Don't think they were too happy with all the S2000's whizzing by. And being passed so many times as they ran their 15-20 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
