I just got back from Knoxville and I ran the Dragon on the 21st. The weather in Knoxville is around 60 degrees and the sun makes everything warm and bright. Probably not much different on the NC side.

What's fun is to stop the car on one of the gravel traps next to corners like Carosel and listen to the sound of high revving sportbikes echo off the canyon walls. Then motorcycles spit out from around the corner and shoot by, with the riders dragging their knees on each turn. Each corner in view is steeply cambered and it's surreal to watch the motorcycles flip from side to side, then disappear around the next bend.

Remember to wave to David Allison as you drive by his pickup truck parked on the gravel at one of the Dragon's many corners. He's the one taking photos for US129Photos.com

All of you attending the Crossfire Tail of the Dragon event are sure to have a blast. Enjoy!!
