Me, aaron, and bryan just got back from riding the Tail of the Dragon. Bryan should have some pics later, and there's a video in the works from aaron. That road is a BLAST! It really pushes the limits of the celi. We did see some dumbasses out there in like a firebird, a mustang, and this brokeass nissan sentra with a big ass tach, some fart can muffler. He couldn't hold a freakin match to the celi!

Well, let me tell you this is one FUN ass road. It pushes the limits of a stock celica, but if you have a good suspension setup it is even better. But just some info on the tail, 318 curves in 11 miles. Yes you read it correct 318 curves in 11 miles. It is really a road that the sport bikes own but any good car can run it and have a blast. My pics are coming but the Vid is what you all are really going to love. I think that this is going to be a monthly gathering to run the tail so If you live within 3 hours of it you should think about making the drive to join us in may.
