~120mph in my 125 shifter kart in the pack on the banking at Texas World Speedway (that part's boring, it's turning into turn 1 at that speed without lifting that's fun).

I used to race bikes there 20 years ago and turn 1 separated the men from the boys. Unfortunately, I was one of the boys. My CBR used to come out of the banking just about at the redline in 6th ~145 mph. I would carry that speed down the straight and then turn 1 was nearly pure terror for me. The fast guys would just lift off and fling themselves into the turn.

Me, I hit the brakes and stuck my torso and helmet up into the airstream to slow down. That was quite a wind blast.

I loved the infield portion of the course at TWS, except guard rails kill guys on bikes when they fall. I was much better at slower tracks.

Yamaha RZV500 - That's the alloy framed job, isn't it? I haven't seen one of those for years. I bet it was a hoot when the power cam on.

149 on the BACK of a Suzuki motorcycle. No facemask on helmet, just sunglasses. One eye watered shut at 130 and the other was open just enough to see the speedo. One arm around the driver, the other holding a can of ferret food like a football. Dumb!!

nothing to be proud of...
 
In 1983 a cop clocked me at 135 in a 35 while chasing me after running a stop sign in my chevelle. Man, did I PAY for that one.

plenty of other cars between 100 and 120, but that's about it. Nothing too exciting.
