I'm headed to Fontana Village on Oct 17 for a weekend of Dragon driving. Anyone interested in joining me for a weekend of 318 curves in 11 miles is welcome. If you'd like to go, let me know and I'll arrange if so you get the discounted room rate.
I've been organizing twice-yearly Dragon events for S2000's for over 5 years so I'm familiar with the area and the people and the roads. I plan on driving the Moonshiner 28, Devil's Triangle, and possibly a trip to Blood Mountain. I might also make a quick side trip to Tellico Plains to visit Benton's Smokehouse to pick up some thick-cut,hickory smoked bacon.
If you've never driven the Dragon, you're in for a treat. Definitely NOT a high speed run by any means, lots of switchbacks, descending radius turns, 270 degree "sweepers", and one or two (very short) straights. The posted speed limit is 30mph and you'll rarely get that fast.
Here's some information on the Dragon and Fontana Village: Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap, Fontana Village. Information on Devil's Triangle and Blood Mountain can be found in the Tail of the Dragon website.
