Fastest I have ever gone on the ground was on the back straight of the original Road Atlanta - in a race prepped twin turbo RX-7. Just got to 186 before I had to set up for the dip and turn 10.
At Atlanta Motor Speedway in a chipped Andretti car I did a bunch of laps +/- 165-170. Cockpit wasn’t really set for someone my size and the frame was really biting into me.
Wasn’t my car at Road Atlanta but it was my track and knew I had to get on the Brembo’s right away.
Fastest ever on the street is still classified ;-)
Sir you have some big b@lls.
That bridge turn at Road Atlanta is like Eau Rouge at Spa....
Wow! That’s faster than I’ve ever gone on a track, but then again nearly all my on-track experience has been in a Formula Vee, which is only good for about 120 flat-out. I *might* have nudged 100mph going into Turn One at Thunderhill.
Isn't that a cool experience? I did the racing school at Indianapolis Motor Speedway some ten years ago now and was able to hit 165 .... damn' that was cool. Specially in the turns.
