I think that certainly things have gotten out of hand there but I wish they would at least allow some fun on the road. Maybe they could raise the speed limit to 45 mph or something. I think there's a balance there somewhere but I know it probably won't happen.

One of the problems in my opinion is that most of the local economy attached to the road is on the NC side of the border while the Dragon is right across the border in TN. So TN and Blount County really has little economic interest in letting people have a little fun.

Still, let me reiterate, we still had fun last year!!!
