The notorious Tail of the Dragon has claimed yet another casualty, this time a red Honda S2000 that veered into the woods. Moments after the little roadster left the road at one of the route’s many curves, it caught fire and was eventually consumed by the flames.
The legendary stretch of pavement is as unforgiving as it is thrilling, punishing the slightest miscalculation. The loss of the S2000 adds to a long history of drivers who underestimated the road’s relentless succession of tight, demanding turns.
