Well this past weekend, I drove to Tennessee in my Conquest for the annual [StarQuestClub.Com](http://StarQuestClub.Com) Starion/Conquest meet, in Pigeon Forge. Had a great time, and on our “things to do” list, was to drive on Rt. 129 “Tail of the Dragon”, taking you up to Deal’s Gap on the top of a very tail mountain. The road is VERY twisty and hilly. Fortunately, [www.killboy.com](http://www.killboy.com/) got a camera shot of us pounding thru the mountains. I am 3rd in line, red Conquest with license plate in the window. I feel special that they finally got a picture of us on the net, after roughly 3 years of driving the dragon.

There are about 4 other photogs on the dragon as well, worth checking them out too. ---

Yeah I’ve checked others, but have not seen anything as of yet. If any of you have not experienced the Dragon, I suggest booking a vacation in the Smoky Mountain area sometime, and try to Tame the Dragon…that road punishes car and driver. It’s like a great big Auto-X. ---

IMO, the roads around the Dragon are far better than the dragon itself. That said, the track \> that POS death trap 😉 ---
