I was reading an article in Sport Compact Car and they did a feature on a road in North Carolina/Tennesse called The Dragon. Its 318 turns in 11 miles up the side of a mountain. Definitley something I plan on doing sometime soon, sounds like a blast :p

US 129. That road is unreal. I don't even know how they paved it.

Every road in that area is a blast, though. The Dragon just has alot more elevation changes.

Best time to go is during the week. Weekend warriors choke the road out Friday - Sunday. The locals actually have other roads that they claim are even better. They just won't show you where. hahaha.

http://www.killboy.com has a ton of photos. He has a WRX that he blasts around in.
