    The Cherohala Skyway is a pretty sick drive too.

    I was there for Tougefest as well! Saw you a few times but seemed we were always heading in the opposite direction. I think that happened last year too. Would love to do a BMW/e46 specific meet up.

    In Nashville and would love to join a meet-up. I've made many day trips out of it and weekends staying down at Fontana Dam, and I've never once seen a cop on the Tail itself.

    I assume the tree of shame is still there? (TotD became popular earlier with the sportbikers, and there was a tree of broken fairings that marked the numerous eats there) The last I've been was on a sportbike, and even stayed at the motel at the base. Great road, would be ideal for cars as the E46 M3s - albeit the lack of low-end power/torque might be limiting.

    I was close-by 2 weeks ago. A 488 Pista was upside-down.
    There are plenty of roads tor drive in the area outside of the Dragon. I usually drive the Dragon earlier or later in the day to stay away from the drama.

    Not a bad as people think. I can give you exact times and dates when you can run the road without worrying about a single officer.

    I'm down for a drive if we want to get a group together, if not TOTD we could just as easily drive the Blue Ridge Parkway.
    Definitely down for a decent sprinted drive.

    I use to live a couple hours from 129, I only ever got to take my 325i on it. I would love to one day get my M3 out there!

    Let's get it going.

    Just kidding, I'm on the other side of the country.
