Trucks over 30 feet in total length are strictly prohibited. The videos/pics of those are of the seldom occasions when the driver can't read simple English. The few turn offs big enough for police are mostly occupied by photographers. I saw no evidence of enforcement. You do have to time your run so that ma and pa kettle aren't right in front of you. There were a number if dips in severely cambered turns were I thought for certain I would scape the whiskers, but no road contact whatsoever (even with my aggressive lowering). Here are some pics:

How'd you get that car so clean with all those Kansas bugs plastered all over your nose and paint? Great shots. Thanks.

I'm certain that there's sufficient resolution for you to blow up the pics and see all kinds of slime.

Those are some really nice pics. They capture the fun you're having driving your car very well.

Who took them for you?

I especially like this one!

Thanks for posting. It's either Tail of the Dragon or Rt 66 going west when I get home. Whenever that might be. Glad to hear that truck traffic and LEOs are not as bad as TV and U-Tube will have me believe. My other car is in Martinsville VA so my preference is to go that way. Guess we will have to check the weather if I get out of this sand box. Although it looks like I'll be trading for SE Asia instead.

Who took them for you?
MoonshinePhoto.Com at PhotoReflect.com - Deal's Gap 08-18-16 Thursday and Xtreme Sports Photography at PhotoReflect.com

I come through starting at about 10:40a on Thursday the 18th. I stopped to talk with Al from Moonshine photos to get some of his stories about the dragon, so he just got a few pics of me taking off.
