Deals Gap/The Dragon



The pictures of this place really don't do it justice. It has 318 turns in only eleven miles! You can see your own tail lights in some of the turns they are so sharp. It is touted as a premier motorcycle resort/run but I saw a lot of miatas and a few sevens there last summer. There were even a few exotics, a Lotus, a Viper, and a Diablo. I ran the Dragon in a supercharged Nissan Frontier. Next summer I will run my GXL when I go with some sportbike pals of mine.





There is an awesome little performance shop in the North Carolina end. It mainly caters to motorcycles but it has has appeal for all. It even has a photo board of some of the metal that has been twisted in the curves of the Dragon. One section has pix of a mangled police cruiser that chased a couple of street bikes through the Dragon.



The Dragon is big in the South East but we saw people from all over the East coast and even well into the West and Canada. One older guy drives his seven down from Ontario every year to run the Dragon. It is truly amazing! Has anyone here heard of it or ran it?
