After my family vacation next week, the wife and I will be doing 3-4 days in
Gatlinburg and will dedicate a day to 'tame-it' one more time.

This will be my 5th time.

Well you could practice at it until the credit card bills came in..... Then you could practice declaring bankruptcy.

For those unaware the Dragon is open again.It was closed for about 6 months due to major rock slides .

I've run the Dragon several times and other area roads .Always fun

Default Traci and I...

did the 'Dragon' though both states...about 30 miles...with her driving the full length one way and then I drove back those miles to our starting point. All this after nearly 5 days in Bowling Green at the NCM for their 15th Annv celebration in September '09.

After Bowling Green is when we went on down and drove the Dragon in our '06, and man-'o-man, if there ever was a road made for the paddle shift of the C6, this was that road!

From there we went on to West Virginia to visit my mom after a week long trip.

When I was there in my '07, I kept the paddle shifter in third, and never downshifted or upshifted the whole time. Third gear gave me both the low end torque to accelerate out of the curves, and the engine brakeing drag to slow down for the next one. What a barrel of fun that was.

Not only have I driven it several times. I got to do the ultimate. A friend handed me the keys to his C4, got in the passenger seat and said, "Drive it like you stole it." Not only did I enjoy my best drive through the Gap, but I made my buddy throw up! He started screaming for me to pull over and as soon as we did, he was barfing his guts out. I was so proud!

I've always run with a Corvette group.Every trip the passengers always say "I don't get car sick".I've learned to pick my position in line so as not to get splattered .

I have on a motorcycle before but not since I purchased a Vette.
the best ride I ever took was on the BRP ( Blue Ridge Parkway) I highly suggest taking a trip on the BRP if you ever get up to NC there are plenty of scenic pull overs, restaurants, campgrounds, Inn's & resorts along the route that would make for a great Vette trip.
