Damn your ride is low
 
Yep. Moonshine has a bunch of pics that were good when I took the Speed3 and Mr2 up there. I've been to the Dragon like 4 weekends the past 6 weeks. LOL. Absolutely beautiful up there this time of year. I toured the Hellbender28 and Highway28: Quad-state tour (TN, NC, GA, SC). You should scope out that road next time you are there. Take hwy 28 from Deals gap to Franklin TN to Highlands TN/NC and then drive hwy 28 for about 30 miles until you reach SC.

Let me know when you are going to drop by again. I'm always itching to run the dragon and it's only a 2.5hr drive for me to get there. :) Oh yeah...and I've got in-car vid of a clean run up the dragon's tail posted up on youtube. :D

wow lucky you. its about an 8hr drive for me from MI. A couple buddies and I usually try and make a trip early May before the official waking of the dragon. we hit the skyway and some other local roads but were only there a couple days so didnt venture too far, my bridgestones took a beating that trip, pretty bald at 12k miles now.

There are a few chips. :( I don't know.. I've just gotten pretty lucky. The car only has ~10,500 miles and I never follow close behind anyone. I'm sure as the months go by I'll get more and more.

yea mazda uses that "green" paint. Its environment freindly but extremely weak =[
 
God that's low sok07.


Looks good attacking those turns on the Dragon doesn't it? ;D I've got H&R coilovers and the cobb rear-sway bar as the suspension tweaks. Runs reasonably well up there, I just need to bone up and buy new tires...as the old almost bald Kumho SPTs are in dire need of replacing. Dragged the front bumper in some of the uphill hairpin turns on exit. LOL

If i was to do my suspension all over again...I'd buy the tein basics, revalve them and run a different spring rate and free length. That's what we've got on my old (now little bro's) mazda3 and he was just whipping the car bends at the Dragon. I could barely keep up on the downhill runs.
