The Diamondback in Western North Carolina is not quite as curvy as the Dragon however it is fun to drive and easier to get to for many folks. From Interstate 40 take Exit 85 and travel north for approx. 12 miles on US 221/226 to US 226A. 226A is called the Diamondback and offers 190 steep, climbing curves in just 12 miles.
I'm from Ohio & the dragon isn't all that. There are so many nice roads down there I find no reason to do the dragon. I'll leave it to the wanna be racers & the cops.
Thanks for the heads up on the Diamondback. Sounds nice!
