I thought about going up for it, did yall get decent speeds or did you get stuck behind bubbas puttering through turns at 10mph?

. I recommend that road to everyone, it's fun even if you're going under 40mph. Was thinking of going again with the Vette.

Only a couple times over the three days we got stuck, but never for very long. For the most part people pulled over and let the entire group go by. I was pleasantly surprised by how many people did pull over for us.

I was one of the leaders of the groups and for the most part people moved over for us and we gots some pretty good runs.

I imagine with 80 vettes there were various levels or driver confidence so good chunk got stuck behind someone slow/timid and took turns at 15mph.
In all honest would this have been more fun with a smaller group?

I must be one of the oddballs on this, but about a third of the way through, I found it tedious as hell driving, couldn't wait for a straight-a-way.

Enjoyed the video, MDL.
Probably never get there, but it sure is enticing.
EDIT: The road is nicely laid out. The 35MPH speed limit is ridiculous, but whatever.
Cherohala Skyway was much "free'r...."
Lotsa fun roads in that area.

Just happened by the meet point at Harbor Freight. Looked like a lot more than 80 cars (lots of really nice Vettes!), mostly from Illinois. Glad to have UT / UGA tickets, not going to be a good weekend for driving.

Yes lol. I live right by it, the amount of clubs that come through is staggering. When they do, it really becomes a bottleneck. Especially when the harley guys come through. I can ride a pedal bike through there faster than those guys go.
