I was at work yesterday talking to this kid with a s2000 and he was saying how he was taking a trip(leaving today), and he showed me this website, him and a couple hundred s2000's are meeting and taking this road together, i guess some kind of meet, said they are going to be racing and stuff, he said its a highway. Has anyone heard of this, its suppose to have a crazy amount of turn and stuff like that.

Anyone live near here and go on this skyway?

Yup I've been up the Dragon. had a South East 240 meet couple years ago in Tenn and we all went driving up it. its crazy lots and lots and lots of switch backs blind curves and such. very fun. my car was basically stock back then. no LSD no Boost. just my old N1 Dual. I ended up chasing Chris May's 400hp S14 up the dragon. :D that was intresting lol.

Deals Gap is a very famous road mostly for motorcycle riders. A lot people crash and die there because they lose concentration and get too comfortable with that road. from what i've read and seen on website, it is freakin awesome. But dangerous. have fun

very very cool, there are alot of curvy roads around here too....most of them are flat to, without any bank at all:( becasue they run on old railroadtracks

There are police, and you are "suppose" to obey traffic laws. It's not a one-way road or anything.

i was up with a firend of mine last friday just to see the bikes that go through there, and they were filming cop chase scenes for some movie. but it was real. they set up hidden cameras and had helicopters on stand by just so the police cars, stunt drivers, could chase down people on motorcycles who actually thought they were being pulled over. it was awesome. im about to get a motorcycle specifically so i can run the dragon at speed.
