2007 Tail of The Dragon Run

[Bob Jones]

2007 Tail of the Dragon Cobra Run…318 Curves in 11 Miles!

Original Cobras and replicas from all manufacturers welcome.

Saturday August 18, with Saturday August 25 as the rain date.

For those of you who have not participated the past couple of years it went something like this:

Folks from the east and south of Asheville met for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant at exit 44 on I-40 just west of Asheville, NC around 8-8:30 AM.

Those who cared to arrive the night before stayed at exit 44 at either the Sleep Inn or Comfort Inn near the Cracker Barrel.

We then departed the Cracker Barrel about 9:15 AM for Fontana Dam with a “bio” & gasoline stop after about an hours ride.

We arrived at Fontana Dam about 11 AM meeting up with more participants coming from other directions and the “meets” they arranged for breakfast etc.

We left Fontana Dam about 11:30 AM and made the northbound run on the Dragon collecting up at the end to swap stories and enjoy the scenery and fellowship.

Later we made the southbound run, collecting up at Deal’s Gap and having lunch at the facility there.

Afterwards some of us went home and some of us made the run again before heading home.

This is a great adventure for anyone wanting to enjoy their Cobra…whether it’s the first time riding the Dragon or not, it is still a blast!

If you have not done so, and want additional info about the Tail of the Dragon, check out their web site.

So with that said…anyone want to go?
