As for the Dragon’s Tail … save your time and frustration
It’s a state park.
Which means a few things … State Troopers, Holiday traffic (ooh, look at that kids! Let’s stop the RV in the middle of the road) and no 24-hour access.
200sx club made a few attempts before, each time other than a very pretty, very slow drive stuck behind a Beretta doing 20 mph with nowhere to pass, complete wastes of time.
Next attempt was thwarted by a pack of Harley-riding accountants.
Third attempt caught the attention of SC’s finest.
One car actually saw boost leaving the park though.
There’s tons of great roads in Ontario, just people that know about them tend to not pass the information along.
There used to be this great mountain pass … then everyone started going there. People died (got to see emergency crews scraping a motorcycle off the guard rail) and people from the area started taking plates.
Gatineau park is fun, but speaking as someone who has been busted there before (I grew up in the area). The Saguenay is probably the best road trip you can take. Although altitude changes can play havoc.
If you’re going to make a lame-ass video of lame-ass driving, you should at least have the decency to crash or do something else dumb to amuse us.
Never been booked at Gatineau and we’ve been there more then a few times… Running it for 4 and 5 hours straight with times to cool off…
The Miata club does tail of the Dragon every year, and they’ve never been hasseled…
That’s a very poor area, and the Tail of the Dragon is the only thing that bring them tourism. So they like the arrive and drive visits from people out of country or state…
Regardless…
