had a great time with some Porsche friends last weekend. Went up VA to drive the Back of the Dragon road from Marion to Tazwell. we rented a cabin in the middle of BFE, but we had a blast.

I've got two video's, this is the first, the second is coming as soon as I get a chance to finish it up. More creative with more 'stuff'.

Posted it up on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/naroescapemotorsports

While you're there, Like us. I'm trying to get more likes than our mechanic... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This video is from basically halfway South to Marion. The second video will be halfway North to Tazwell...we stayed near the middle....

Naro,

Where is the "back of the dragon"? I am retiring to VA in December and will be looking for neat places to drive, and the video looks really cool.

Back of the Dragon is Highway 16 from Marion to Tazwell, VA. Part 2 will be better. :-)

Isn't it called the Tail of the Dragon?

Either way, it's supposed to be a fun ride.

Tail of the Dragon is at the TN/NC border south of Knoxville.
There are several "named" roads around here. "Back of the Dragon" has just recently begun being marketed and is obviously comparing itself to "The Dragon"

As Steve said, Tail of the Dragon - the original - is on NC/TN border. "Back" of the Dragon is Hwy 16 from Marion to Tazwell, VA. The state of VA recently officially named it and are supposedly promoting it, but I didn't see much about it anywhere. Google Back of the Dragon for details...

almost done with Part 2 of the video...
