Just so ya know, it is REALLY easy to drive a true race car at 150 mph.

Been there.

Done that.

Thus the screen name “Blueflag”

What’s hard is driving a race car at 99 - 101% of the limits of adhesion, driving a nearly perfect line through a series of turns in traffic; braking/accelerating at the right moment, planning ahead in the chess game of setting up passes. Intelligence, smoothness, concentration, planning and a focus on exit speed make good racers.

While one can be jealous of the opportunity to drive an F1 car at 150 mph, one should not be impressed. 150 mph is cruising. You barely feel it.

My thought, too. Looks like he was afraid to put his foot in it. sd

I agree with you. If Pooty-Poot wants to show he is a real man let’s see him get on a GSX1300R Suzuki Hyabusa and push to 150mph or more.
