Yo Dennis, i thought we were going to do a road trip to the tail of the dragon? 318 curves in 11 miles.

EDIT** for those of you who don't know what I am talking about...here you go.

youve been in that area that night you all came down here. rt 14 is right across the street from my house. waterhall in gloucester, and the parkway from williamsburg to newport news are both pretty. thats if you really want a long drive though.

brian...youre right..the "dragon" is very over-rated. its alot like every other mountain range in the carolinas.

Overhyped?
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ngga Plz!
Have you ever run that bitch? That is one of the most technical stretch of roads in the country. I have been there 7 times....and I swear to god its worth the 7 hour drive to get there

Makes Lynchburg and backroads of charlotsville look like a damn expressway

Curviest stretch of road in the country def not overrated

Yea actually, I wouldn't exactly call it drifting but the night my motor blew i was parked on top of the mountian in lynchburg, (there's a decent pull off area) and an explorer came flying up to a sharp left hand turn, slammed on brakes, then proceded to "slide" into the guradrail at about 30ish mph bounced off the guardrail and kept going...

I really really wish i had a camera that night... there were 2 other people with me and we were all dumbfounded at what had just happened... good times.
