Miatas at the Back of Dragon Season 8!
October 10-13, 2024 - - - Wytheville, Virginia
Virginia is not just for lovers anymore: it is a destination for adventurous people who enjoy a good winding road. Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains on Virginia’s famed Route 16 lies the Back of the Dragon… 32 miles of exhilarating twisty curves and unparalleled excitement.
Spanning from Marion to Tazewell, the Back of the Dragon offers over 400 curves for the thrill-seeking sports car enthusiast on a two-lane ribbon road with breathtaking views of the expansive 3 mountain terrain.
The 3-night event takes place at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, in Wytheville. There is a Registration Fee of $30 per car (nonrefundable) & an event T-shirt will be available for purchase at $25. There will be a friendly Car Show, a Raffle and a Silent Auction. This Fundraiser Event is for the Autism Society. If you are interested or have questions, feel free to send us an email to countryroadsmiatas@gmail.com. We will respond in a timely manner.
