Gonna look into my calendar.

 

[Jeffk]

Just scratch out whatever is on that date and come! Just kidding, finals take priority. Hope you can make it though.

Why does everything have to be like 4 hours away?? Wish there was more near Raleigh or at least the coast.

 

[Jeffk]

We are going to VIR on March 30th for charity laps.. and we're planning a get together in Raleigh in early April.

I wish I was closer to this, or that there was a road this epic in Washington State. Maybe someday I'll make it over there.

 

[Jeffk]

I would think that Washington State would be full of sweet roads!

Hell, drive on out. If you leave now you might make it in time.

 

[NUTCASE]

I would love to come. I have always wanted to hit the tail of the dragon.

I got alot going on though. I will just sub this and hope things clear up.

There are definitely a ton of fun roads out here in the northwest but nothing I can think of that's as crazy as the Tail of the Dragon. If there is I sure as hell haven't heard about it. Lets see April 28th huh, I'll take off on the 27th. I figure one day a 150mph should do the trick Lol in all seriousness though I really wish I could make it.

It is going to be a great day, hopefully the weather cooperates.

I'm gonna post this up on my local forum here in Wilmington/Jacksonville and see if it is something they would be interested in joining up on!

 

[alan0614]

Hope you can join us.

Tail of the Dragon is a blast! Wish i still lived in KY, they it would be much easier to make it there.

Enjoy!

 

[alan0614]

Yeah, Melrose to Robbinsville would be quite a haul for 11 miles of road. But such a sweet 11 miles it is.

gotta go up then come back, so it'd be 22 miles!

Went there for a wekeend when I worked at a shop that specialized in Z cars, was an amazing time.

Don't forget the Sunday morning run, that would make it 33 miles.

ooo, it's starting to look tempting now

Or, the Cherohala Skyway 120 mile loop....
