DragVA road trips?
I was wondering if people on here ever get together and roadtrip through back roads. I was thinking along the lines of DragVA at Deals Gap. 
Is there any interest in something like this?
For anyone who doesnt know, Deal's Gap (the tail of the dragon) is in NC/TN. It is generally considered to be one of the nastiest roads in the US.
The Tennesse side is most popular, with 318 turns in 11 miles. Road has ~1100 feet in elevation change (between highest and lowest point.)

Deals is very far away. Every year we do at least one similar thing through similarly twisty roads of western VA (rte 56, rte 211, etc.) The next one is in October, the second annual Pumpkin Run:

Same idea, just not so far away. It's a blast.

This would be the dumbest thing ANYONE could ever do.
You get a bunch of non driving retarded 16 year olds in pos cars driving way to fast in an enviroment that they can't handle and you are just asking for trouble.
