It's just a really dangerous road. Blind corners and the road is an idiot/hooligan magnet. Drunk driving could happen anywhere at any time, but they know that reckless driving will happen on this road.

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!!!

if u have radar, you will be alright. i mean come on, the speed limit is 45 on the NC side. u cant get going that much faster, maybe 55 60 tops. every1 just bring ur radars and 2 ways and we can all go on the same channel to call those ******* out.

Well if THP does pull me over, they are gonna look at my license and go WTF, then run the tag and go WTF. Pa license, DE Tag and the registration is in my mom's name, I am the owner of the car and my mom is on there as well and it comes up under her name.

Me: "sorry"
Indiana HP officer: "have a safe trip home"
