Default Tail of the Dragon; Biltmore; NCM and Plant

Just returned from a trip with 22 club members to Tail of the Dragon, The Biltmore Estate, and the museum and plant.

While at the NCM one of our members picked up his new C7.
What a great trip and the Dragon in a Corvette is a blast.
Here are a few photos.
Biltmore was foggy when we got there but it cleared up and was a glorious day.

Fantastic shots! As one who attends a few outings with my club, there's nothing like photos of a bunch of Corvettes all lined up together in a scenic environment.

Did a similar trip about 2 weeks ago, but included Williamsburg, Va,
and the Blue Ridge Parkway, 1,700 miles total. The Dragon was
awesome with the Grand Sport. This latest Vette has the 6-speed
manual, select ride, and the Goodyear Supercar G2s. I cannot complain
about the Goodyears at all or averaging 25 mpg in a performance car.
Thanks for some great photos. Great looking Grand Sport.

We took the Blue Ridge Parkway out of Cherokee into Asheville. Nice road and some beautiful scenery...

Yes, great shots!

How did you get that shot at the Dragon, (was it self made)?

Planning on the Dragon on the way home from the 2014 Caravan.

Did the Biltmore tour and it was amazing.

Great times!

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. That looks like my SSB Grand Sport except for the rear spoiler. Mine is a 2012.
