If your not familiar with the best road on the East coast, then you must live in a hole in the ground. Make sure to mark your calendar and make deals with the devil, whatever you have to do to attend Wake the Dragon 2011 April 15-17th. The Tail of the Dragon is located in the Smokey Mountains in the Tennessee/North Carolina border, once your hear you will find 318 turns in 11 miles. Holy Shit.....YES! (And the epic roads just don't stop there) I personally have never enjoyed driving the car more or meeting faces from the board, than at this event. Plan on seeing tons of S2000's at this event. What you will need to do is get your car ready, as will I. I would highly recommend to anyone planning on attending to have all maintenance done and fluids changed in preparation. Good tires are important as well, plan to bring extra oil and general tools i.e. torque wrench and tire pressure gauge etcetera. I will be updating as I perform the same maintenance to my own car and hopefully aid in other. I can also work on a checklist for others. Another thing to keep in mind is where the lodging is located in the past there has been nothing open at night or no place near to get beer (or food?) to survive a night in the mountains. Prior planning will prevent piss poor performance.
