i will say though as a passenger and at night this road is a trip, i got really disoriented and felt really weird. tomorrow is picture day, ill get some good ones!
some of the killboy guys were running around while i was driving, ill have to see what they came up with
so far, one guy that we know dumped it off the edge, but no injuries at least. no word on his car yet.

Hey man I was on the Dragon today (well yesterday) too. Up there from Jacksonville, Fl. Just got back. The guy that dumped it off the edge (riced out ford focus) kept the police occupied! Had a few really good runs through, def put the car through its paces! We headed back to Florida down 68 which could possibly be just as good as the dragon! Dragon is low speed some parts of 68 are high speed (55-70) in the turns...and NO traffic!
The Corvette Expo was pretty cool. Some parking issues which sucked. The cruise Friday night was nice, must have been around 200 vettes in the cruise!
What a great weekend! I'll post pics tomorrow! I'm tired.

It was a long trip and I ended up with a bunch of rock chips on the car, but I really dont care. It was worth it!

We were up in Gatlinburg a few weeks ago, but with the combination of sky high gas prices (that was right after the hurricane) and all the talk about the LEOs picking on sports cars, we passed this time.
