A local photog told us Sunday morning that she saw 2 Z's that clipped fenders because they were both over the line through a corner.

And there were others that drove "***** out"... I have tape of myself pushing a classic ferrari and a ducati.

We saw 2 rescue operations on the Cheoah Saturday pulling kayakers out, idwin saw a guy in full gear walking down the highway without a boat but beat all the hell up. I have video of medflight landing on 143 right in front of our group.

And how about this shot! A biker almost took out a F430!

From tailofthedragon.com:


May 18: Some 45 Ferraris made the trek from Asheville to the Tapoco Lodge where they had lunch and provided a photo session for car buffs. At noon they challenged the Dragon. The parade had everyones attention including a Valkarie rider who totally blew a corner seeing the oncoming red blur. Most of the caravan made it through the Dragon before a semi blocked the roadway north of the Overlook. This truck was pulled free by another vehicle and then continued southbound over the Dragon almost taking out three cruisers with passengers in a sharp corner near the state line.
By the way, the Tail met with Tennessee DOT on Thursday and it looks like they will be making some positive safety changes at the Dragon. They are serious about doing something about the large truck problem. After seeing our TRUCK PAGE they are convinced that better signage and a ban is necessary. All measures have to be approved by Federal Highway Officials so this may take some time.

Well thanks for the OT guys lol. I did hear of one biker going off the side of the road nothing else. It wont change how people drive on the dragon or at these meets.

actually he ended up letting him off if i remember correctly. from what brent told me he walked over with the ticket pad to mess with those of us who were watching from the little grocery store. lucky since he pulled third and i heard him jumping off the limiter the whole way through!
