Can you slay the Dragon?
Just wondering if anyone here was going to make the Dragon run in their new Z's. It's in the Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina area and it looks pretty wicked! I don't know if I have the cojones.

The Tail of Dragon is absolutely awesome! I have had the wonderful priveledge of slaying the Dragon 6 times now.
I coordinate an annual event called the DragonBall Run for S2000 owners. This year, we are having the DragonBall Run on September 13th and 14th. Less than 2 weeks away!!!
We have (at this time) 65+ S2000's and 100 enthusiasts coming out for the weekend event.
For more information, feel free to contact me directly at ralvarez2@***.net or check out this link:

11 miles and 318 curves. . .it's 8 hours away from where I live but worth every minute and every mile I put on my baby to get there.
I have no idea how the 350Z would handle but the S2000 is like a DREAM!!! If you live close enough or have the time, I highly recommend the drive. It will be one that you'll never forget!

Where in NC do you live, airgate?
I think one thing I would worry about on the Dragon is some crazy crotch rocket idiot doing 140 around a curve and attaching himself as my new hood ornament. Is that something that's a legitimate issue, or just hype?

That looks amazing! I'm thinking about driving down to Atlanta to see my parents in the next few weeks, so maybe I'll take a little side trip.

Maybe one weekend in OCT we can get all the TN, NC, SC, GA 350Z owners together.
Of course after we all have our cars and have made it past break-in.
I've never heard of the dragon's tail, but I'm definately game for a scenic drive.
It would be a great meet and greet for all club members in the area.

I plan on slaying the dragon once my Z is broken in and I get a little more used to her handling.

Anyway, even if yall're not interested in hammering the car around the curves, it's worth a trip out there. It's absolutely beautiful scenery.

Unfortunatley, ever driver has to know 2 things:
What they are capable of and what their car is capable of!

OMG!!!!
I went to school at Western Carolina U, so I have had some experience driving in the mountains, but I have never heard of the Dragon before. I will DEFINITELY have to give it a run. Maybe next fall. Is there a Z group that goes?
