Default Curve Features on the Dragon

Just a little something I read off the Tail of the Dragon Site. Interesting hehehehe but fun.

An engineer's view of the Dragon:

So, if the Dragons' Tail were "standardized", you would have

318 corners 183 feet apart, each with an Entrance/Exit angle of 60 degrees

and a corner radius of 29 feet.

THAT IS TIGHT.

Anyone up for a little scoot???

Not looking too good on me making the Southeast trip this year either :sad:

It's looking like I'll be heading towards Chicago in July to visit my brother. He offered us free tickets to the NASCAR race if we can get up there. I'm hoping to schedule it around Speedmans bash too and scoot up to Canada while I'm up there. We'll see.
I really want to make it to S and N Carolina and eastern Tenn one of these days. I hope to ride the Dragon and make Myrtle Beach and visit all the the friends I've made there but haven't gotten to meet yet.
