i'm heading down to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend and on the way back we are going to hit the Tail of the Dragon! It will add about 2.5 hrs to the trip but i figured why not.
Im not taking my car though. My dad offered his z28 convertible for the trip so i couldn't turn him down! Has anybody ever been there? any suggestions?

My biggest suggestion is ditch the Camaro and take a bike. I did the whole thing one way in an STU prepped '01 WRX and I did part of it on my dads bike ('02 Triumph TT600) for the return trip. The reason I only did part of the return trip on the bike is because my dad had so much more fun on it then in the Subaru and made me switch since it was his bike.

My other suggestion is take it easy and expect people to fly by you on motorcycles. If it is possible, try to start going through really early (~6:30-7am). There aren't nearly as many people on the road then for obvious reasons.
