Has anyone here drove the "Tail of the Dragon"? If so is it worth the trip? My buds and I usually get together and have a guys weekend where we take a trip to mid ohio camp out and watch the American Lemans series. However this year the entry list looks pretty weak so we were thinking of doing a road trip somewhere and I thought the tail of the dragon would be cool. Any info?

Apparently he has a DSM. Being an *** goes with the territory, so I figure he is just acting normal. Now if you were ever to meet me I don't know what you'd call me because DSM'ers call me an *** so who knows how much more we can elevate this. Just ask travis, I'm a serious *****. The longer you own a DSM the more you hate everybody else. Its a fact of life, you can't change this.

I've heard really good things. There's a great article in the latest 0-60 magazine about it. I know there are a few hotels in the area and in the summer its a big biker hot spot. Its supposedly one of the best driving roads in the country.

I'd definitely be up for it depending on when you were planning on going.


*On a side note, there is a really good picture of a Ralliart in front of the "Climax" strip club on the last page of the magazine. I'm sure most of you would recognize it if you've ever been out to PRP - Justin could comment on what it looks like inside . I wasn't aware of it, but it is apparently the only drive-thru strip joint in the country.

Had a dsm but some would say it was not a true "dsm" because it had a 420a and not a 4g63. But i did rebuild it and turbo it
