I have driven there many times in my 2 liter and Matt's 1.7 liter. Anything over 95 in Matt's 1.7 was flying on the back straight.

try the front straight at Road America- it's uphill to boot! Or if I remember correctly you have done that and fried a clutch cable in the process....

I have done that, but it was the throttle cable. That one is longer, I was at max speed in my 2.0 before I left the pits. I knew I was in for a long day!
