Boone,NC has amazing driving roads!
It rained here today and I decided to go for a drive and explore some more of the area. I drove out maybe 15 mins from our place here and I must say the roads are fantastic. So many curves and hair pin turns and just out of control roads. This one road called 194, is so ridiculous even with my suspension mods and pushing it hard I could not go over 35-40mph. Had a blast tearing up the roads and pulling some G's. Even pulled over and adjusted my KYB shocks to almost full firm to get the most out of the car. Good stuff I must say. My overall mods made this car so different and much faster around these parts then when it was stock up here 5 years ago (I bought this car up in SC not in Florida and drove it to Boone,NC once we got it).
I wish I had a seat mount for my camera so you could see how dangerous and out of control some of these roads are around here. If I lived here full time I would surely die from driving to hard and sliding off the mountain. |
Sounds like some fun I'd be but for. That's one bad thing about Texas, everything is flat. The curvature of the Earth does not apply to Texas for some reason. At college were at the edge of the Ozark Mountains so it a little better, but nothing that great. You should make a in-car video mount. I have made a few.

wait...spike does curves I thought you were burnouts and straight lines in the stang? lol jk.
sounds sweet man, that is the one thing I love about living in flagstaff and out here in NM at times, is I can head off to the mountains and find some sweet curvy back roads. |
Gonna be heading over to the tail of the dragon and Deals gap (between Tennessee and NC) next weekend to run the tail of the dragon, 12 miles and 318 corners, roughly 1000' elevation change! Can't wait, gonna be pretty damned awesome. :t:

Oh and yes for anyone who has never been to the smokey mountains, There are Paved roads. Most of them are in better shape than most city roads. Check out the Blue Ridge Parkway, You'll be driving for a while and you wont find a single pothole or a curve that doesn't have a decent guardrail. Maybe wooden guardrails but still efficient to keep you from fallin 1000ft to your death.. ;)
