Had fun with the Dragon today
Ran the Tail of the Dragon today with Swizlstik and his awesome A10 ZL1. Along with us was a friend with his great looking and running supercharged and cammed C7 Z51.
My little all stock SS (including stock tires and brakes) ran flawlessly and fast for a total of 2 runs each way. That would be 44 miles and 1272 curves (one way is 11 miles and 318 curves). A beautiful day and a great time.

I love the Dragon. Can’t wait to get a car that can actually run it again. Hopefully soon.

That looks amazing! We take a vacation in that vicinity every year, but I hadn't heard of it so we always just took the SUV. I'll have to plan better this year and take the car too. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome roads in that area! Did you drive the Hellbender? Not sure if 28 if open yet coming up that way, it was closed for a while for a rock slide mess they had to fix.

We went through there and they are still working on the rock slide. One lane traffic but still passable.

Awesome! Great drive, I ran in my old Corvette Z51 a few years ago. Glad I did, it'll be a long time before I get a chance again
