Rep Power: 0 Tail of the dragon 16 + 17 2010
Putting together a big tail of the dragon run on these two dates. I live in greenville sc which is about 3 hours away and i have a group of about 8 or 9 and we are going to be there around 3pm on saturday. Ive already talked to a couple people in virginia and nc who said they are coming. This is a meet for anything. Right now there are 5 3gs coming and a miata and a couple nissans and much more. here is the schedule as of now.
Saturday:
4-5pm- arrive at the hotel(picked a hotel now. its the Sleep Inn located in Bryson City, NC. prices are going to be $53.99 a night and 4 people can be in a room so everyone should get some people to room with to split the price. Ill post the ling bellow) check in and get to know eachother.
6pm-everyone will drive and we will all go out to eat and get to know eachother some more
8pm- Find something to do around town(maybe bowling or something random lol) or head back to the hotel and chill
Sunday:
8am-Meet outside the hotel and for people who arent staying the night you can meet us here now and then we will all find somewhere to get some breakfast then head out to the dragon.
9:30-10am-Begin our journey to the tail of the dragon and drive it and the surounding roads for a while
after driving-lunch and chill time and then poeple can start leaving whenever they want.
Locals dont have to stay at the hotel but it would be cool if yall could meet us both days just so everyone gets to know eachother. Havent decided on the exact hotel yet but im looking at a couple and im trying to keep it cheap but still kinda nice. All cars are welcome. spread the word. To get in touch with me you can call or txt me at 864-419-7384 or find me on facebook. My names spencer tarkenton. Im going to constantly watch the weather around that week and if its looking snowy around those dates we may have to cancell on short notice but hopefully that wont happen. Hope to see you there!

its a nice drive, i went a few yrs ago. sadly its out of reach where i am now. watch out for the pigs there, you will get a wreckless driving ticket for turning a corner faster than 10mph.

Not sure if i'll be able to make it or not, but while you guys are there.. Be sure and hit the cherohala skyway and foothills parkway. The skyway and the dragon makes a big loop which is a lot of fun. The skyway is more fun IMHO, lots of sweepers, faster, and less cops. Same thing for the parkway, it's right next to the TN side of 129. I just live 20 minutes from the dragon, and learn from my experience, don't push yourself too hard. Cops patrol up there all the time, the corners are very tight and bikes come around the corner on your side of the road a lot. Flying off the side of a cliff is a very real danger if push past your limits.
