    14th annual Fall Dragon Run...pics and stories!

    So first up is day one, Thursday. Did the Cherahola Skyway, stopped at Deals Gap and went to the Fontana Dam.

    There was a 911 club out there as well, all long nose models too, pic of one here!

    You can see pics of Killboys place which is right across from Deals Gap. Both places should be visited as they both have unique items that the other one doesn't.

    Lastly food from Ponchos!!!

    More pics from Day #2...next!

    Re: 14th annual Fall Dragon Run...pics and stories!

    Day #2 had me showing my buddy and his gf around. He hasn't been here since 2009 so it was a big Real, John is a good guy and his gf is very nice!

    We basically did the same run this day but went down to Bridal Veil Falls and met my buddy Trey (blue Z car, bought it with those wheels, going away ASAP!) Getting down to Bridal Veil Falls took a lot longer than I thought it was going to and we took the pics with great lighting but on the way back it was pitch black and a portion was fresh asphalt, which meant tire squeal for a large chunk until will reached highway 441. As we made our way up Moonshiners aka route 28 we were "getting it" pretty good and came around a corner to see a cop coming our way with lights on, he just passed us14th annual Fall Dragon Run...pics and stories!

    You can also see that godzilla was out taming the dragon as well, an all original R32! You just never know what you'll see out there. You can also see the Orange Dodge Challenger that has an old school conversion done to it including a vinyl top which I thought was very cool and really stood out from all the other ones that you see on the road every day. Also you will see a E46 BMW M3 in Laguna Seca blue, my favorite Beemer Ever, a RX7 and Killboys turbo'd BRZ!

    Maybe some more pics...

    Oh yeah that tour bus, TWO of them! They came up Moonshiners and decided to go up the hill, which is heading right into the Dragon...illegal for him. Darryl Cannon, owner of Killboy, went out there and stopped them just in time or it would've been a bad day for someone!

    I didn't take any pics from our route 30 run from Sunday because we were busy driving...alot of driving! It's from Decatur to Spencer TN. My buddy Josh, who lives in Decatur, plotted out a route again for us but this time added another road and this one had us doing 3 downhill hairpins and then the cherry on top, somewhere near Hansen TN! It was back to back uphill hairpins, it literally took my breath away14th annual Fall Dragon Run...pics and stories! I came up with a name for this series of turns...the stripper pole! First you grab one to get up and then you have to grab another to go up again, sorry, it was the first thing that came to my mind (I'm not that guy, trust me)

    I wish it were easy to turn around there or park somewhere and take it all in like near the Dragon but it's not to be...yet! Thanks to Josh we had the best day ever of driving and it didn't involve the big 3 roads everyone knows about.

    I set up our group, minus myself and my buddy John/gf Melissa, to hit the Devils Triangle and they loved it but how can you not14th annual Fall Dragon Run...pics and stories!

    Hint taken. I'll maybe have some new automotive blood by this time next year. It's been too long since I was there.
