hello,

Jazz, I hope you can make it! Thanks for the fantastic pics. You are correct, pics cannot convey that road's true nature. It can only be experienced first hand!

International Appeal

The reputation of the Dragon as being one of the ultimate sportscar and motorcycle roads is not confined to North America alone. Thanks to the World Wide Web, the experience of the Tail of the Dragon draws Sports Car and motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world.

Case in point, compliments of the weekly blog from our friend, killboy:

killboy.com: Allthe Way from ... Europe??

Follow the links in the comments of of that picture. That MINI had just previously been turning hot laps on the 'Ring!!! ( the Nürburgring ,for those not in the now, one of the most if not most acclaimed tracks in all of Europe)

It is not unheard of for such drivers who take in the tracks of Europe , the Autobahn and the Alps, transport their exotic beauties and supercars across the sea to come face to face wiht the Tail of the Dragon!!

Umm...who even suggested my going in the first place?

I assumed you would have the mini-pharmacy in tow.

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When you drive the dragon in a hurry

You think I'm not aware of that?!? I'm thinking we won't be seeing any farm animals on this run anyway. And I kinda like my car, so I'd rather not do something stupid on this one.

I already told you...I'll keep the chatter to a minimum on future runs. Your points regarding the interferences it can create were duly noted.

Great to see you in, when it gets closer next year maybe we can hook up and drive there at the same time. Looking forward to a fun time.

Regarding the D2-ihawk exchange just now, it's a should be noted again, when running the Dragon, best to let your passenger enjoy the scenery. Drivers most definitely must maintain concentration on the road ahead of them. Never know what might come around those blind turns.

Farm animals on the Dragon: not likely, mainly the forest variety, deer, turkeys, even a bear or two.

Farm animals can be seen along the Skyway-Dragon loop in the 72 and 360 segments.

Diana, glad you'll be joining us. You won't regret it!!
