If you've got the car for it, have you looked at Loring, ME or the Ohio Mile? They should be closer for you.

Loring is a 1.5mi. I'd like to try that some day, but it is over 2200mi one way for me.

Fastest I've ever done was 182mph on my 09 CBR1000RR (GPS indication), bike could have gone faster but once the speedo hit 199mph (indicated not actual) it doesnt allow you to go faster. One time is all i needed, well at least until i build a 200mph bike

Strangely enough it didnt start "feeling" fast until I looked down and saw what the speedo said!

Car lover but old and chicken.

My old 1995 camaro z28 @ 135 mph in the middle of the night on a very long straight downgrade. Quite sure the car had a lot more but it started to feel "floaty" and i had passengers.

I have 0 issue with hitting 100 in most decent cars.... Over that starts getting sketchy IMHO.

160+ indicated in a '96 Firebird Forumla with a built engine, was a friends, he told me to open it up. Actual speed is likely lower. I was 18.

171 MPH in a MKIV Supra, GPS with a Driftbox/VBOX. Indicated was higher from what my passenger told me. I was 29.

I don't think I've been over 75 in my FR-S yet, hah. I'm 33.

Maybe I'm getting slower as I get older? Hah. FR-S will get its chance, I'm sure.

130mph '97 240sx from Anaheim to Van Nuys in ~20min (round trip of 45min on the 5/101) close to 2am.

102mph '05 Tacoma V6 on my way to San Bernardino (210). Only hit that for a couple of seconds as that thing guzzled fuel and since it was the TRD OFF ROAD edition it wasn't very aerodynamic.

74mph in the FR-S I'm not young and dumb anymore.

Incredible picture! That's fast enough to make you wonder how Mexican jails compare to US jails.

Lol i agree but they would have to catch me first in their slow dodge chargers rt's Dont think you can go to jail in mexico for speeding a couple of friends that live down there have been stopped at 160 MPH + and all they got were the equivalent of 500 USD tickets, now if you get stopped by the cartels thats another story.

Wow. I always thought "Runs done in Mexico" was sort of a joke - in case local PD was watching someone's youtube channel. Sounds like a trip to the ATM is all you need for bonzai runs south of the border. Serious business.
