Only 110 for me. Atlanta traffic sux, plus the thought of going to jail again is a huge deterrent.

That's why we have the North Georgia Mountains. Lots of curves, plenty of straights for high speed, and not many cops.

According to my traqmate data, I have repeatedly hit over 160MPH on the back straight at VIR.

I won't post my stupid human tricks on public roads here...

I did 175 on my CARRERA 2 Cab, then thoughts of tire blow out, rim flying off the car and things like that made me slow down to about 90 which felt like 20. On the tt 165 has been it, with the mini I did 150 and it felt like the engine was about to occupy the passenger seat.

You still gotta dodge the f'in bicyclists that ride 4 people wide.

Haven't been up there in ages. Group drive in the spring?

Careful what you say....Wouldn't want to stereotype anyone.

I happen to ride my bike quite a bit (about 120 miles a week) and if people are being obnoxious and riding 4 wide then they deserve the scorn they get. Not ALL cyclists are like that though. It's usually the F-in people doing everything BUT driving that run us cyclists over.
