Road Trip to Tail of The Dragon - Who wants to come?
I'm considering planning a trip up to the Tail of The Dragon (318 curves in 11 miles) in Deals Gap, NC and I wanted to see if anyone was interested in coming with. I was thinking four or five of us could trek up there, do a couple runs on the famous Tail of The Dragon, drive a few scenic routes and then come home. Obviously, a round trip journey couldn't be done in a day so we'd stay a night at a hotel. I figure we leave 7AM sharp, drive a scenic route once we get there (bearing it will be about 4PM) and take pictures with the sun setting in the background. Then wake up the next morning, hit the Tail of The Dragon around 8AM and head home 7 hours later at about 3PM.
Is anyone interested in doing this? From Clearwater the trip is about 660 miles and a 10 hour drive each way (going the speed limit which we know we're going to be well above). I'd say we could make it there safely in 8 1/2 hours. Who'd be down for going the day after Christmas---December 26th to the 27th? Here are some of the other roads we could check out (they look pretty incredibly, especially Cherohala Skyway): http://www.tailofthedragon.com/other_rides.html EDIT: I added this to the meet calander. Please add yourself there if you're going to make it out. http://www.e90post.com/forums/calend...2006-12-26&c=1 EDIT: Well, this isn't going to work out because there simply are not enough people interested in going. Maybe sometime within the next few months we can put a meet like this together for Tail of The Dragon. Last edited by bmwexecutive; 12-21-2006 at 12:52 AM.. |

EDIT: Just finished reading your entire Performance Center Delivery thread. Pretty cool! I took PCD on my 330i back in May. It was equally awesome! You only need one more thing: a 5 series iDrive knob. Check it out: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ht=series+knob I've got one left right now. Let me know if you're interested.

Nice. Funny, rit and I were just talking about this I'm interested to visit one day. I can't commit to it at the moment though and think chances are slim. I may have family coming into town so I have to check.
