Good clean run. Stayed on yalls side of the mustard and drove within your limits. I like to see it. I’m born and raised about 20mins from the TOTD and am up there often.
In europe crossing into the other lane to cut corners when there is appropriate visibility is not only normal its considered efficient driving, not sure why Americans don’t have common sense. In this particular road there is barely any visibility ahead so I’m glad these guys stayed in their lane.
When people claim that they "need to cross the mustard in order to get the perfect racing line", show them this video. Solid copy man. Your Veloster and that BRZ had a great run!
he's got a veloster? Which one? I've got a G1 VT and was hoping to come here some day next summer with some internet friends. I've been teasing the idea.
He has a Veloster N I believe. And yeah man, I've seen them rip around there too. They're fun on this pass- just don't exceed your limit and you should have a grand time!@@SpentSole
His form is trash, he's forcing a knee down by crossing his torso up. You should be leaning full force into the corner, not leaning the other way to get your knee down more.
Hes going slow and shit and has poor form. He knows hes slower than the cars behind him and he passed a dozen pull of zones where he could be courteous and let the two clearly faster vehicles go by.
Guy's form doesn't look pretty, but it works for him. Experienced rider that's taking nice lines smoothly & have the confidence go at pace in wet/dry condition. I've seen plenty of folks that doesn't have an ideal body positioning be incredibly quick on the track. Also, anyone seen the GP's in Doohan/Rainey/Schwantz era?
Finally some good driving, rarely see people driving within their line these days claiming they need to perfect racing line. This video shows how its done.
Yeah Ik right. I use to attend S2Ki events and it was like Harley riders never ever let the faster drivers go by. Surprised the F-150 even pull over (took them awhile to do it though)
Mountain run is so much better than drag race I love the scenery and corner point, ryosuke in initial D saying same about "what's the fun in racing in straight line, it's so much fun driving into not predictable area"
It's trash compared to circuit, though. There's no racing line, it's just riding whatever tires you have to their limit. With circuit driving you have to really figure out the fastest way around, the fastest way isn't always "start on the outside line, dip in a little, finish on outside line again".
@@actually5004 Not at all what I'm talking about. People throwing parts at cars and buying better cars to begin with makes the racing bullsht pay to win. If you want to prove you're the better driver, you do it in equally prepared cars, period. But most "racers" are cowards that wouldn't dare participate in something like that.
You guys need to not follow so close to a motorcycle. Give them space. I also run the Dragon at speed...but when you come up on a motorcyclist, it's best to leave a healthy gap and not apply pressure. They can't course correct as fast a car, and the consequences of a crash are much higher for them. I know because I am also a motorcyclist. Thank you in advance.
This is great to see, and I'm jealous. We've got some awesome touge-like roads in the Coastal Range and the Cascades, some are nearly deserted. Lots of logging roads too. But no one around here drives for pleasure. Makes me sad. I'd attempt to organize a local time attack club or something, but there is literally no interest. There are some nice sports cars in town, even a JDM GT-R, but it's just status symbols for rich kids, they have no interest in driving.
@@JoseFlores-lg3ms haha. I had a greddy evo and uel headers once upon a time. Got rid of that set up quickly. Give MXP comp rs a try, or tanabe medalion. Think they are known as revel medalion these days. Loved the sound of the MXP + uel and medalion + uel when I had it on my car.
how do you like the veloster n? I've been debating between gen 2 mazdaspeed 3 or the veloster n for a while but I might hold off because there doesn't seem to be much aftermarket parts for it.
@@HifeMan the dudes body leaning hard af and barely leaning the bike into the turns. It doesnt do anything for his turning he couldve been upright and turning exactly the same lol
@@ce2341 So probably just having fun and getting warm up. lol Body lean helps you keep the bike more upright, more upright is more traction. Plus on the street you never really wanna max out your lean angle on the bike, It good to do more body lean to maintain more traction and upright riding. Also depending on bikes, some bikes don’t have good ground clearance for lean and you have to be more aggressive with body lean to keep it more upright, like my W800 :) lol
Suggest taking tags off and keeping gems like these on the low.. Cops are out here watching videos like these, the car scene in central and western florida is dying due to cops tracking spots like these and shutting them down. unless this place is purposely made for spirited driving
Did it really take the bike THAT many turns to realize theres two fast ass mfers behind him in loudass cars? Everyone on the dragon is so disrespectful I stg

There were several times the brz was on/over the mustard in this video..
the mustard 😭😭😭
LMAO the mustard 😂 gonna use that one. Been telling my girl that you never cross the double yellows / solids as rule #1
@@apex_gr A lot of people use that terminology up there,lol!! Yes. Rule #1 Never cross the center lines.

Takes a lot more skill, too. Driving fast on a track is one thing, but driving fast on a public road is a whole 'nother world.
props to the guy dragging that knee on the bike, takes real skill to confidently alternate so quickly.

So true his head positioning is awful

@@livewoutlimit Those bikes were different with much worse tires and those riders would get smoked by modern techniques. Wrong is wrong, stop coping.,
Finally some good driving, rarely see people driving within their line these days claiming they need to perfect racing line. This video shows how its done.
Was that a Harley rider that actually pulled off and let faster vehicles pass! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen at the Dragon before 😂.
It MUST have been a metric cruiser. Harley riders absolutely do NOT do this.
Yeah Ik right. I use to attend S2Ki events and it was like Harley riders never ever let the faster drivers go by. Surprised the F-150 even pull over (took them awhile to do it though)

@@nunyabusiness896 Yeah but I think were talking about street races.
@@LuzzYT Street races are all trash. Racing in anything but identical spec vehicles is just pay to win bullsht.

It's fine when the motorcyclist moves over for the faster cars.
This road looks fantastic!
Im pretty sure i know the guy in the brz, he works the tail taking pictures sometimes he saved me when i wrecked my car 😭.
Hes one of the locals for sure i believe
damn nice

glad to see a pickup pull over to let others pass him by
So many RX-7s in the other lane lol
i honestly dont get crossing the lines- maybe is the road is super open but its a good challenge for me to pick good lines on one side of the mustard
The BRZ sounds great. Any idea what kinda exhaust it has?
looks like an nvidia N1. with some uel headers. this combination is obnoxious in person.
@@shadowsilverxxvery much so lol, i have catless uel headers and a greddy evo gt catback, wanna quiet down but its in the works
@@shadowsilverxxAnd here I thought Nvidia Only did GPU’s and AI chips. :P lol

Tail of the dragon during touge fest
LMFAO!
What wing is on that BRZ? It looks really cool! Also this is such an awesome video!
I have no clue what wing it is
Is that road always so full of cool cars? barely seen any 'normal' car in the whole video
Was an event weekend
It is all the time! Almost every weekend a meet of some cars. Locals racing early AM and late PM. And New Year’s Night run of course 🫣
so many RX-8 this film😍
2:39 red rx8 is me hehe
staying within the line is part of the challenge. This is how you do it!
@0:57 man that dip on that right turn was scary
That was beautiful footage
That motorcycle is crossed up AF, someone teach him proper body position.
how do you like the veloster n? I've been debating between gen 2 mazdaspeed 3 or the veloster n for a while but I might hold off because there doesn't seem to be much aftermarket parts for it.
Its good i dont have barely any mods stock is fine but the engine blew up around 48k not a car built for longevity even if meticulously serviced
@@MTP_CHANNEL_ That was another thing holding me back!😭 Sorry that happened to you that sucks
@@tracts they suffer from hyundai syndrome almost every 19/20 is blowing up by 50k miles from oil squirters dropping out
2:39 red rx8 was me bro 😂😂
Nice
This was an enjoyable ride
Was the chase specifically for filming purposes, or would you have preferred to have been let by?
Random encounter was a good run even i prefer him not pulling off the chase was good
Where is this road ?
Us 129
Tail of the dragon
i like your car
reminds me of cars 1
Nice run guys. RX8s had to be the coolest part tho 🔥🔥🔥
Rx7
1:11 Just a random MR2. And a shit ton of Rx8s.
Wait where is this road at ? It looks like so much fun 😫
Its call Tail of the Dragon but the official road is US 129. Its in Ashville, NC.
This was the comment I was looking for. A lot of it looks like a stretch of rt 60 in West Virginia but much more well maintained.
Tail of the dragon
@@someoneclaimeditrt 60 is a good road, used to commute from Lewisburg to union and further down
The BRZ sounds great. What's it got?
The blrlrlrlr sound is from unequal length headers
Invidia N1 Exhaust and unequal length headers. It's super loud and drones a lot but it does sound good.
dude on the bikes doing all that leaning for nothin lol
I mean they probably do it for fun :P lol
@@HifeMan not sure if you even understand what I was saying lol
@@ce2341 Probably not, not a lot of context to go on. lol Like we talking body lean? Bike lean? Maybe both? lol maybe something in the video?
@@HifeMan the dudes body leaning hard af and barely leaning the bike into the turns. It doesnt do anything for his turning he couldve been upright and turning exactly the same lol

Deja vu I have been in this place before
the amount of subi's on that road is crazy.
Could not tell but I think he had number 13 on the door ?
Probably tracks it
is that BRZ with an STI motor?
No
Great Vid hopefully we can meet out here one day look for a white 21 wrx sti with YHBDY plates
We only go out for touge fest its a pretty far drive 9 hours

It's the tail of the dragon, a 100% infamous spot for driving. No need to pretend like it's a secret.
s2000? Mr2?
???
Apparently it's a Veloster...
@@mod91Kauai correct chase car is a veloster N
