WOW - I didn't know they did that on the Dragon. George is FAST at a autocross I can't even believe how fast he would be on a hillclimb.

He is the fastest. He has the record at every hillclimb he has been except the dragon. He has only run it once. He should break the record this time. TN wouldn't let them run on the dragon. They run a road in the Kilmore national forest.
If anyone goes see if you can watch from station 17. It is a good spot.

I would think the logistics of closing a Federal Highway are more the reason.

I'll most likely be there

For real closing the dragon? And letting some crazy run up the hill? Where is the entry site? Last time I was there every motor cycle pulled over when I came upon it. They seem to slow things down.!!!! Do they not know flower picking on the DRAGON IS VERBOTEN!!

Its actually called "chasing the dragon" because it is a side road off of US129 over in NC.

I hope you are right in this. Have you ever driven to work at 125 mph or been 170 in three wide traffic on a daily basis?You might need to reconsider some of your thinking about Me.My current or past cars have not reflected what I have drove in the past in the father land. used
