Looks like time to buy some Jumbo Mudders for the S2000. I wonder if they come in your size. I am not doing another off-road experience up there.

Here's the latest on the slide from tailofthedragon.com. The Dragon is closed to thru traffic, but is open from the North Carolina side to the overlook. You cannot go past the overlook or enter the Dragon from the Tennessee side. Looks like it will be closed to thru traffic until Monday. One-lane possibly open then. Worst case is a 3 week closure at the most.


Wake The Dragon: 9.5 miles, 299 turns

If only 9.5 miles of the 11 mile are open when we arrive up. Do we get 15% discount on registration, since part of the dragon is closed. Gee Ken you take over and the walls or hills in this case start coming down. I don't know about this one. Better start looking at alternate roads for all those drives if the dragon is not open. This could throw a couple of wrenches at a lot group drives. Not trying to mess the event up but remember shit happens!!!!
