Group Drive - WTR PCA 47th Anniversary Drive - 07.19.2025

Join us as we celebrate 47 years of Porsche passion in the Wilderness Trail Region with an unforgettable anniversary drive through some of the most thrilling roads in the Appalachian Mountains!

📍 Saturday Drive to the Dragon Slayer & Slingshot
We’ll kick things off in Appalachia, VA and make our way through KY-160 (The Dragon Slayer)—a legendary stretch featuring 226+ heart-pounding curves, scenic mountain views, and Kentucky’s highest peak, Black Mountain. After a quick break at the newly renovated Dragon Slayer Welcome Center, we’ll continue onto Hwy-119 (The Slingshot), where sweeping bends, dramatic elevation changes, and roller-coaster-style fun await as we climb over Pine Mountain.

This route is ideal for both seasoned drivers looking to test their skills and newcomers excited to experience what Porsche driving is all about!

🍽️ Lunch will be at Pine Mountain Grill, and we’ll wrap up the day with a celebratory stop at Gypsy Circus Cider Company in Kingsport, TN.

📍 Route Overview: 165 miles of twisty Porsche bliss
