I heard about this would-be Dragon tamer from a friend and just found the shots on Killboy, even made the highlights of the week.

Maybe Hyundai should rethink the name Genesis.

Nice... I literally wouldn't know what the hell you're talking about when you say "Dragon" but for the fact that I read an article in Road & Track about it yesterday while waiting in the barbershop. Great read if you haven't seen it btw:

I don't know beans about this kind of driving and I thoroughly enjoyed the article. Good story, great writing. Thanks for sharing.

Not the first or last guy that will have a claim. This is my dream turbo Miata drive! I hope the whinny crazy people don't get this road closed. It is becoming so popular it's a matter of time before some marge starts a petition.

You'd have a far better time with the extra power on the Cherohala Skyway or the Blue Ridge Parkway. There aren't many places on The Dragon where you can really let the horses out to run.
