This should be one heck of a weekend. Plans are already being made on which Hooters we're going to eat at
![]() AL/TN June Event AL/TN had 15 cars last year, I'm expecting 10 or so cars from GA, so this should be like a mini-Zone Rendevous The more the merrier...or maybe "the more, the bigger logistical nightmare", but eitherway this is gonna be one awesome weekend! ![]()

I had a friend of mine just wrecked her bike on the dragon a couple of weeks ago. She wasn't in a sharp turn or anything. One second she's in a sweeping turn and the next second she's tumbling off the road. She broke her back in 5 places but nothing serious. She's extremely lucky it wasn't worse.
I know some people that live down there and drive the dragon to work every day. They dread tourist season... I wish I could go ![]()

I hope she gets better quick! You for sure have to respect the dragon. Stopping by Deals Gap and looking at all of the pictures they have posted up of the wrecks reminds you. But you gotta love it!! Can’t wait!!

WTF?! This is the first I'm hearing about this, isn't this going to be in North Carolina, and should have North Carolina Viper owners invited too?! That link has little logistical details, like some kind of hodge podge that Mike S. might put together, how about a succinct layout of the pertinent details?

I e-mailed Dwight and Steve that are in the NC Club about this last week. The more the better! I like NC vipers just as much as GA vipers. . .

If you're involved, you're getting the blame!

I used to live in Fontana Village.....very near the Dragon. My sister-in-law actually had to take the Dragon when she was in labor having her first child to get to the hospital in Maryville. She was NOT happy.
I hope your friend gets better soon. The Dragon is a nasty beast that demands respect. Quote:

Every time we've gone, there's been at least 1 ambulance going or coming. Hopefully, going on a friday, traffic won't be too heavy (which might not be a bad thing). We've never had any "close calls". It's usually the sport bikes trying to pass somebody in the wrong lane on a blind turn. We're ALWAYS safe!

By the way, remember to wear your best smile when driving the Dragon. There is a group over there who set up cameras along the way and takes pictures of everything that goes up and down the mountain.
For the bikers, if they get a picture of your wreck, it's free! Otherwise, you can go to their website a few days after your trip, find your picture and buy it. |

The Mopar show should be fun, too.Also, anyone who wants to see the pics from the Dragon, go to Killboy.com. Just gives you an idea of what it looks like. |

Is that a good idea? Police monitor websites for stuff like that, would rather not increase their presence.

My advice: if you get motion sickness, I strongly suggest you take the medication before you set out. If you are prone to it at all, you will need it on this road! |

I personally, will not be trying to break any records
(much less my car) . The road is a fun and scenic drive. We've always seen Troopers shooting radar, but never seen them go after anyone...only motion them to slow down . We like driving our car home in one pieceIt's gonna be HUGE. And we're gonna ROCK N ROLL! |

I get where you guys are coming from, but just announcing a group of Vipers is coming just seems like the sort of thing that might draw undue attention.
