Just last month I got to drive on Talladega Super Speedway. It was a follow the leader thing, and my wife got to ride in the car. No helmets needed. At 100 I still had to steer up into the banking and it was a decent amount of effort to stay on the banking. At 125, it was totally neutral, and it was the first time above 90 I did not hear slow down! from my wife.
I have year old Continental Extreme Sport tires rated for 186 MPH. My 85 will never get close to that speed. I had a full inspection for the upcoming DE I was to do the next day. It passed with compliments on the car's mechanical and cosmetic condition. And Barber Motorsports is more fun than going in circles at 125.
