Drove the "Tail of the Dragon" last Thursday am, and am here to tell you it is a beast. Makes the california canyon runs look like drag strips. 12 miles, > 300 turns, I think all of them considered hairpin. Anyway, my uncle (only 10 yrs older) was behind me in his MRoadster. I could drive away from him between curves and he could barely catch up on curves. I drove the whole route in 2nd and 3rd, although didnt get out of 3rd too much. He drove most of the route in 2nd at 6000+ rpms. Said he would shift to 3rd on a couple of straights, but not many. It was great when I led and could drive away from him slightly. Anyway, not a kill, but a great drive (just watch out for the occasional Semi in the wrong lane).
