Many of us were doing 105-110mph for at least 10-15 minutes...would have done faster if it wasn't so hot and concerns about tires on the hot pavement.
Many of us did at least 95-100mph for 2 of the 3 days of drives.

So yeah.. we had some spirited runs along the way..
This is exactly what I would have been doing all week if I had joined you all.
I simply can't resist the need for speed when the roads are right and the law is nowhere to be seen.
I once was on a road heading west along the Canadian boarder in the upper peninsula of Michigan and had about 50 miles of deserted highway
I've told the story many times as to how I ran flat out at 155mph for nearly 10 minutes.
Best time I have ever had in my Crossfire

Now tomorrow out on the Texas Motor Speedway you can run a controlled pace behind the pace car @ 80mph
