Dragon Events Tail of the Dragon (Highway US129) 318 curves in 11 miles, is America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road.

Would this be a fun drive?

Anyone done the Santeetlah Lake Loop?

Done it and don't reccommend it - lots of gravel, pot holes and slow slow driving conditions. Aside from the stone chipping your paint, any speed on the corners and your toast!

this is a gnarly little road that i accidentally took one time from fontana down to tapoco. its basically like a lane and a half, if you meet an oncoming car you are fubarred. its all downhill from fontana to tapoco and if you're lower than stock height you're gonna have to be real careful http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=We...via=1&t=h&z=14
