What happened at the dragon tail??
 

Word is things didn't go too well. Anyone know?

Did a search on Nasioc and found the thread. Sounds like there were a few accidents. I saw GreenMarine's name was mentioned as having an accident on the Cherohala. Hope everyone is ok.

Yeah, I was there... Drove by his car on the side of the road. He was Ok. Talked to him briefly afterwards and he seemed good, just upset. He said he thinks it can be repaired...

So what happened?

From what I heard, he understeered into a cliff wall.

OUCH. Glad he is ok and hope he can fix it.

Oh my! And his car was so puurty! Guess he didn't have enough time to brake and correct his line...

As nice of a road as this 'dragon' sounds, I won't be attending any large gatherings there. It's one thing to drive your car in a spirited way and accept responsibility for your mistakes, but it's another thing entirely to do such a thing on public roads.

I'm glad nobody was hurt and I hope Chris's car can be repaired.

Better to hit the bottom of the cliff than to drive off the top of it.

My understanding is that there were multiple accidents including 1 rollover and 1 t-bone, as well as at least one death.

I think I'll pass on the big gatherings like that.

Glad to hear you're OK, Chris.

The dragon is fun but it sounds like too many people made bad decisions this weekend for it to be safe.

We went up with a few svx's and xt6's a few months back without issue - we all drove like sane people though and it wasn't too crowded so we didn't have too bad a time with traffic and oncoming bad driving.

Wrx crossed the center line and t-boned an sti.
I'll let Chris tell his story but I heard he went into a corner too fast.
Miata flipped over and 2 young girls had to be airlifted out - they are ok
1 Biker dead.

Oh my god ...what is "the dragon?" ...guess since everyone's okay that's good, but that definitely didn't sound like too much fun.

it's a road on the NC/TN border and it is fun but can be very unsafe depending on present company.

Big emphasis on present company! I feel for that biker who was killed... :(
