Some pics from the Tail of the Dragon Drive.

During June/July. Set up a date and I'll make arrangements to show up.

Ahh, the Dragon. Been on that strip of road many times. Watch out for the police in late spring and summer. When the dragon gets busy so do the cops.

Definately be vigilant in the blind turns. Ive had many a close call. Never brake in the turns. Get all of your braking done before turning in. Never cut corners unless you have a clear line of sight. Look ahead.

The dragon is VERY unforgiving of mistakes and thus commands respect.


Here are two video clips I made: This when I still had my heavily modified 1.9L Z3

In this one, the M3 in front of me expereinces a radiator failure halfway through the clip. His rear tires get coated in coolant and........watch the video to see what happens.

Ya the Dragon pointed out mistakes realy quickly, I learned a little driving it. On the one corner the only reason I hit the brakes is I overestimated the corner and didn't hink it's be as sharp as it was and then due to a bent wheel on my car, when I tapped the brakes the whole car shook slightly, sending the rear end around :P I'd say we Plan something in June. I'm supprised there wen't any cops out as it was pretty busy or at least the Dragon snack shop at the Begining was packed, we had to squeze are cars in between the Many many Bikes parked there.
