VIPERS AND THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON 2009

VIPERS at the DRAGONS’S TAIL 2009

We have two stories here Vipers and the Dragon’s Tail. The Vipers will get the majority of my attention with fourteen stories and numerous pictures in this post, but a few sentences about the Dragon’s Tail here in the lead paragraph. I’m sure most of you know about the Dragon’s Tail, if you don’t just Google it in and you’ll get an almost infinite number of hits and info. Very briefly, it’s an eleven mile stretch of mountain road connecting Tennessee and North Carolina. The stretch contains 318 curves and no intersections..It was made famous by the motorcycle guys but performance cars are a common site now. This was my first visit and while it’s famous as a public race track I was awestruck by the beauty and spectacular views. There’s a very nice but small resort, Deals Gap, at the North Carolina end 0f the Tail. It has most everything you would need except gas.

The run is put together by the Alabama/Tennessee section of Viper Club of America. I think this the third year in a row that’s they’ve been doing it. It’s a full three day event starting Friday with a cruise to the Dragon’s Tail, and another mountain cruise Saturday morning and than a police escort through Gatlinburg Saturday night and then back home Sunday. Viper guys and girls are a great bunch that respect their cars but aren’t afraid to drive them hard. Most of all, Viper people are super fun group of people to be around.

The above picture is of the VIPER TWINS. Please see their post later in the article. This a two page article. When you get though with MARY AND HER VERY OWN 9009 VIPER SRT10 post click NEXT PAGE.
