When the MR2 crew went last time I was with them we stayed here. Close to stuff and pretty close to the Gap, I remember it being like 20 minutes or so.

Nice rooms and big parking lot.
PS.
I just checked it on the map from Deal's Gap resort at the base to the hotel above, less than 15 miles...

hey hameed,
i have family that drives down to north carolina from toronto and they get speeding tickets every trip. I dont think you would have to pay if you got a ticket in the states. But i could be wrong, just some info for ya.

Here are some pictures of one of the S2000 meets at the Dragon.

Guys I hope we can get a similar Lexus turnout to what the S2000 club can do for this meet... wouldn't that be awesome?
Also on that site, Eliot has a movie of a motorcycle driving part of the Dragon (note this is just one small part of it!) that will give folks that haven't been there at least a little preview of what the road is like.

Great video! That bike was almost going as fast as me on those curves. 
I especially liked those leaning shots as the bike hugged those curves...
A lot like the body roll of the RX...only in the opposite direction.

Trust me, it's a good place to stay. Very close to Andrews and everything there (resaurants, theater (very small, only two screens but they show first runs for less than $5, gas) and it's also close to The Dragon. When we went the cut us a better rate too for having enough pre-booked rooms.
