I remember reading that Rusty Wallace took an unrestricted NASCAR then-Nextel Cup racer around Daytona a few years ago using a pre-Car of Tomorrow design and promptly hit an amazing 230 mph on a couple of laps around that place! Small wonder why NASCAR instituted the restrictor plate rule for Daytona and Talledega.

It was at Talledega in 2004. He hit 228mph on the straight away and his best lap came in at 221. He said he could probably get it up over 235 with a little “tweaking.”
