Doing it again "officially" in late March as part of Corvette Expo weekend (see http://www.smcruisers.com events section).

We also may do it with a group at the end of May as part of the Corvette Forum Cruise In IV.

But we could do it just about any time someone calls it! :thumbs:

The Tail of the Dragon, aka Deals Gap, is one hell of a road. It is very popular with the motorcycle crowd, though, and can get pretty busy on weekends from early spring through autumn. The crotch rockets come by the dozens to take it's twists and turns. If you have the option, a weekday cruise on the Dragon is best. Come see us.... the Smoky Mountain Cruisers are always up for a drive.
