Drove the Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina on Tuesday under damp conditions, which made for no crowds coming or going. The road is everything they say it is, 318 curves in 11 miles - the curves just keep coming. I entered the Tail from Maryville and it's extra fun when the road is wet, although the heavy rains hit right after Deals Gap, so I got lucky on the rain. I also got lucky because Kill Boy.com was the only photographer and he snapped the one picture that is included below.

Dang, OC, y'all missing the great weather down here in Texas. Let me know if you need me to ship you a sweater!
I drove that last year. Lot of fun. Enjoy and stay safe...T
Fister exhaust, Sharwerks xpipe and 15mm spacers all around
Finally installed the Fister sport exhaust, Sharkwerks xpipe center muffler delete and 15mm spacers all around on 8x18 et57 and 8x10.5 et60. Sounds better than stock and not obnoxious imho.

Yeah, I heard it was already hotter in Big D than a $2 pistol.
Now I am just outside of Charleston, SC in Summerville visiting my son who is stationed at Goose Creek. Pretty humid and the daily rains aren't helping. But the temps are in the 80s. So send that sweater now.
Closer to the coast here in Texas it was 103 yesterday and that is with sweltering humidity too.
Can’t wait to drive the tail of the dragon this fall. Me in my 911 and my brother in his s Aston Martin.
The tail is a blast. You'll love it Doc. Wife and I followed it up with a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Anyone here ever drive the Natchez Trace?

couldn’t agree more. Had the same exhaust set up on my 997.2. Your car looks amazing.

I have driven the trace a couple of times. Once is enough. Speed limit is 50 and it's a fairly straight 2 lane highway rolling through a mildly hilly forest with a few meadows. I think the limit is due to proximity of dense vegetation, providing cover for deer that can/will appear suddenly. Avoid dawn and dusk when the deer are more active and can't be seen easily. The LEOs do patrol!
I pre-assembled my center Radiator Kit getting ready to install when I pull my front bumper cover off to add the " Smile Vent" and clean out my side Rads.
I also have the screen grills to add.. just need to get it back from the shop (getting the "Incompatible Software" error with my NAV fixed)
