Default VIDEO - Mini Dragon Tale
My wife and I were driving through Tennessee in the Corvette last week. Though we didn’t get the chance to travel the renowned Tail of the Dragon, we did happen upon what would turn into a mini version of The Tail. We were trying to get to Hwy 40 from Gatlinburg, and our GPS tried to take us on TN 32 East.

It ended up NOT taking us to 40. I had the track cam running, so I put together a little spoof I call The Tale of the Serpent. Please enjoy this 3:17 video, and watch out for surprises.

It was, but my actual speed would be quite a boring view in the video. Let's just say that it was a mere fraction of what one can do on The Tail. On this run, I was more afraid of dropping a tire off an edge of this Very Narrow path. That would've put a damper on the festivities big time.

Not hard when the first digit on the speedo never exceeded two.
