Dragon Run

ssxtreme350 · 09-18-2008, 12:47 AM

Anyone interested in driving the dragon as a group?

Daveman2 · 09-18-2008, 01:03 AM

IF I was over there, I would. when my car works.

ssxtreme350 · 09-19-2008, 12:03 AM

I just wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet up and drive it and take pictures of the trucks that went. Go back to the mall in the area and have a little get together show if anyone wanted to do that afterwards. Maybe see if any magazines wanted to show up and put pictures of the trucks in there magazines.

haha cool.

wildman ss · 09-19-2008, 12:11 PM

mmmmm 318 curves with no shocks and no swaybar

S-10Driver · 09-19-2008, 04:16 PM

hmm, i think i would be at the head of the pack of these losers.

i would, but i'm broke.

ssxtreme350 · 09-19-2008, 06:19 PM

I just came up with the name. Trying to start something like a power tour or the state to state drive out west. Where truck owners would like to drive what they have been working on and getting out and driving. It is not going to cost anything. Only time and gas to drive threw the dragon.

There is car and motorcycle clubs that meet and drive it for the weekend, so I figured I try to start something for truck owners.

I was only planning it for one day and see how the turn out was. I still want to go see how long it approximately to drive it and get back to town. To let people know, so if they had other things going on they plan things.

s10fan2000 · 09-20-2008, 12:53 AM

where is it?

ssxtreme350 · 09-20-2008, 01:02 AM

US129 TN/NC border
I am in the process of making a site that has information about it and the idea.
Hopefully it will help.

S-10Driver · 09-20-2008, 03:56 AM

i've been on US129 from Ga to NC, didn't make it over to the TN boarder.

would have been a very fun road to drive on...cept i was riding shotgun in a flatbed wrecker hauling a trail jeep. lol

i believe they call the area i was at blood mountain.

Gregs10 · 09-21-2008, 06:39 PM

Set up a date and I might show up in my Conquest.. Been wanting to go on it for awhile. =]

dangeruss · 09-21-2008, 10:58 PM

I just went last weekend...It was a blast

hmm i would be interested in it, but no swaybar and no shocks sucks :P

Slow97S10 · 09-30-2008, 10:11 PM

I was just there a couple weeks back, did some fun shit in the mustang...then the bike got a turn...

ssxtreme350 · 10-02-2008, 12:25 AM

You will still be able to get through it. It is not like your racing someone.

hub_01_69 · 10-16-2008, 03:34 PM

If you guys do get around to going, don't forget to check out your pics on http://www.killboy.com a few days after you get back. I went last year in an '06 gto but have get to make it in the rx7. Very fun indeed.

ssxtreme350 · 10-16-2008, 08:56 PM

They do a good job taking pictures going through Deals Gap. Only need patience to wait until they have pictures up of your vehicle. I went with one truck and I had fun going, so I figure if there was more trucks going would fun too and killboy would have alot of work getting all the trucks picture taken.

hub_01_69 · 10-17-2008, 12:52 PM

Couple of vids showing the dragon's layout for those who are interested:

And link to a google vid that is kinda long. 15 min.
Deals Gap Linky

IH8HYTS · 10-21-2008, 05:05 PM

took my ninja up there the other day, it was sick.

Tim99Zr2 · 10-21-2008, 05:28 PM

hmm. thatd be fun on the bike!! but not my truck.

yeah it was deff fun. but the only bad thing, you ride for like five minutes and youre on someones ass, pass them and five minutes later, youre on someone elses.

Squeegee · 10-22-2008, 07:13 PM

sounds like it could be fun as hell

I read that this is one of the more crowded times on the dragon because of the fall season "leaf lookers".

ssxtreme350 · 10-24-2008, 12:32 AM

When I have gone in the past I went during the week and didn't have any traffic problems. But with the "leaf lookers" traffic around it might be worse like hub_01_69 stated. I guess it would be chance on how bad may or may not be.

Could always go on some of it and the rest on the foothills parkway. More room and spots to take pictures.

I live here. Here being Pigeon Forge and the dragon is great we were up there just the other week in the Twin Turbo'd viper. I took my Typhoon thru a few times and 1000s of times on bikes and sports cars thru the years if you go let me know. We went with the GTO club and they got pissed because we went to fast etc. Will this be a problem?

72RATCAMARO · 11-07-2008, 03:18 PM
