If you want a twisty with lakes and woods and beautiful homes, this is it. My little car club did this two weeks ago and the route and the food got high marks. Hey, driving your aggressive sol 25 miles anywhere is worth the drive

Mile markers or more precisely, distance markers.

This subject is already a thread with a 'sticky', although why it's in the 'other car' section I'm not sure.

What's your favorite 'roadster' road to drive?

Thanks, AZ. On that 7/04 thread, S'man listed three roads I'll be able to drive while I'm out west.

Dragon tail is hard to beat.

Most fun I ever had in a moving car.


In central N.C. an offbeat road is NC-1306 in Montgomery County.
Almost zero traffic, two lane tar and gravel, grass growing up through the pavement, really nice curves...a few of them are Dragon quality.
Problem is that the really nice part is too short. However the local nature offsets this for me.

flint hill montgomery - Google Maps

The scenery in this area of the Uwharrie mountains is pretty good as well.
Several of the other area roads are worth a try also.

Bottom line: I wouldn't drive hundreds of miles for this but if you are local it just might be worth a ride.


Rickey.
