Has anyone driven the Tail of the Dragon? Some friends of mine and I are planning on mid-March trip and are curious as to what to expect. Looks like a great opportunity for a couple of PCA chapters to meet. Thanks.

Nate,
I may be up for that! A few of my Honda friends that live near 129 have said that it is quite a fun road.
I'm heading to Skyline Drive in the Shenendoah Valley in 2 weeks so I hope that will be a fun road as well.

Nate,
..I have driven it a couple of times, but not in my 911.(once in a 928, once in a Karmann Ghia convert.)and I must say, it is one twisty section of tarmac! It is a pretty popular place for sport bikers, cruisers, sporty car drivers, and unfortunately the local highway patrol. But getting there is a lovely drive on some of the most scenic roads in the southeast. Enjoy!

 

Where is it? Sounds like it would worth a look.

 

It runs from the SE part of TN to the SW part of NC. It's about 8 hours from DC down 81. 318 turns in 11 miles....

 

Any idea how long the drive is from Atlanta?

 

Here's mine. An 87 w/78k.

Check out Yahoo! Maps for Robbinsville, NC. You'll be able to get distance and approximate times there. I've always found their estimated driving times to be a little high.
