A few photos from Deal's Gap from this passed saturday (Apr 5th). It was a 6 hour drive for me but I had a BLAST with my car club members and friends!

I've always wanted to drive that road. Maybe this year I'll make the trek for it...doubtful, but maybe lol.

Looks like you had a blast there though. Car looks fantastic and looks to hold the roads well! Who took the shots?

A few people take pictures there daily (i.e.-Killboy-Zeefoto-us129photos). Mine happened to be taken by Us129photos.

After I discovered what was making the rubbing noise in the rear passenger tire, and corrected it, I floored it the entire way through and never lost traction. Amazing for being fully loaded with luggage and tools!

And if you ever have the chance to make the trek.....do it! It's entirely worth it, and sooo much fun.

Yeah I hear police give tickets for things as rediculous as going over the yellow center lines, or the outside white lines.

Which the OP was doing in almost every shot

Oh yeah, the place is absolutely crawling with cops on a sunny day. Luckily since it was on/off raining when we went, we only saw two cops. So honestly, you'd have to be really dumb to be going fast enough to get out of the lines infront of a cop haha

And I won't deny crossing the lines hehe
