Man, what a beautiful road!!!

Thanks for sharing!

What do you use to overlay the video with the speed data and what not?

GoPro Hero5 Black and the Quick app available online.

Cherohala Skyway is probably one of the best all around roads I've driven on. There are a lot of curves that are long enough for the vehicle to take a set and keep it for some time. It gives you time to make adjustments to input and play around with the results. It's a different, and more satisfying in a way, sort of fun than the more assaulting dragon.

I used to frequent it as much as I could in my NB miata. I haven't had the chance yet in my BRZ.

I watched some of the first video, and your pace is pretty reasonable overall. It's about how I'd be driving it.

The Dragon, when driven at 9/10ths is an all out assault. Brake, accelerate, shift, turn, shift and on and on. I love it but I feel under-steer on the hairpins. I understand why and try to mitigate it but its a challenge.

As you can see, I never hit these great roads when the tourist are around, I left at 5AM on this day to hit The Dragon and then the Skyway. Tourists have no business up here and tend to be the ones who die. (not always)

If you are ever coming this way, let me know!
