    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    What kind of speeds are we talking about here? between corners and through corners?

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    nice pics!!! thx

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    Yeah baby!

    Pic number 2 (the tail starting to wag) is ALOT of fun. As long as you understand how to react and remain on a razor's edge of awareness (e.g. maybe road could get all of a sudden slippery-er).

    Should really be on a track though, but for the "reasonably safe" occasional "can't resist" situation: have a ball!


    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    Great pictures and what fun it must have been!

    I am once again inspired...I have got to do the Dragon.

    Anyone up for it sometime in November?

    Re: Tail of the Dragon


    Great pics ... #2 is especially nice.

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    stunning pics

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    we need to see more of this type of having fun on great roads... thanks for the teriffic pix.

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    pic #2 is great!! I demand more action pictures on this forum

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    I'm glad to find another person with the same long arm condition as my, i was begining to think i'm the only one.. quite good when your in the supermarket and need something high up or when i'm working on the car!!!

    talking of long arms this saying sprung to my mind, when i was little my mother would say your father will hit the roof / ceiling when he gets in..

    well i can literally hit the ceiling with jumping come to think of it i should go be a basketball player, come to the u.s and get paid more than uk footballers and then i can by a porsche...

    nice car you have, i hope to have something similiar someday..

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    pic number 2 is the best !!!

    I love it !!!!

    Is that with psm on or off????

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    Great pics GA997S!

    Re: Tail of the Dragon

    This was my first trip to the Tail of the Dragon. The road was perfect for PASM Sport setting...no rough spots, bumps, or bouncing areas. The road was almost deserted Monday so I could play a little with PSM off. There are curved sections where you can see way ahead and safely get the rear out without worrying about oncoming traffic. The road really is wonderful for aggressive driving with the exception of one curve that caught me off guard. Going from TN to NC there is a left turn that also has a crest that gets the car light and you loose grip at all four tires. Maybe you could hit it a little differently to overcome this but I only tried it once. I didn't notice it going the other direction.

    My round trip was 400 miles and from NE GA, if you go up 129, you'll probably prefer the curves on a section still in GA only about 30 min north of Gainesville. The passing lanes here make it fun even when there's traffic...the kind that would slow you down on the Dragon.

    BTW...The cheeseburgers at Deal's Gap are unexpectedly incredible!

    Lets make sure us Southeasterners let each other know of plans to drive the Tail or Blue Ridge Pkwy. this fall. Haku, I'm sure I'll go again in November. ADias, I stayed mostly in 2nd & 3rd and never looked at the speedo...sorry.

    few more pics of the area
