In anycase... drive fast at the track.
I-75 isn't a good example but your point is made. Next time use Texas or one of those other Southwestern states. You can go for miles and miles out there without seeing any civilization.

I guess you should all start drinking and driving, I heard the fine is less.

NOTE: The above is a joke, I'm not an advocate for drinking and driving regardless the circumstances.

going 50 over is not reasonable and this is a perfectly fine amount for something like that. as for the guy who talked about fines being less for .08 without accident to .2 with, so we are just waiting for the .08 person to get into an accident? you drive above the legal limit you should know the consequences and deal with it when it happens. As a person who has been affected by a drunk driver (girlfriends grandmother died when drunk driver hit her car) when the drunk driver was .09, i feel it doesn't matter .08 or .2

i got caught doing 107 on bayside bridge, speed limit is 55 there...the speeding ticket was over 300 bucks, i thought i was going to jail considering i was also racing 2 other corvettes...even though i sometimes go 50 over on the bridges, i dont see the $1000 fine as out of control. If i get caught doing 140+ over the bridges i figure im going to jail anyways
