Default The Dragon

Has anybody here driven the Dragon and exactly where is it?
They mention in the C6 special edition of CQ that it is 316 turns in 11 mi. That's a lot of twisty turny road!

Sure have driven it...

Check out www.tailofthedragon.com

This is their official website.
The "Dragon" is located in East Tennessee. Highway 129 to Fontana Dam. My Corvette club, The Smoky Moutain Cruisers, (SMC) has hosted a few groups from time to time on the dragon.

Twistie is an understatement....better than a roller coaster at Six Flags.
Fun at 20 mph and ridiculous at 50+.....If you ever wanted to know why your Corvette was built, the Dragon will show you why.....

SMC will gladly show you the ropes if you are ever in East Tennessee.....
Just contact me or any one of the guys and gals that post in the Southeast section here on the Forum.....Have Vettes....Will Drive the Dragon.....
