Well yeah, but it's just talking. Fact is, I live in Sarasota so nearly all these suggestions are off for me. In this area, I think I'd head out towards Arcadia. Right after you pass the entrance to Myakka State Park the road gets wide and straight for a nice bit especially right around the county line. Go early on a weekend morning and I think I'd have the road to myself.
It's not that I'm paranoid but it would suck to get arrested. It would be embarassing at work and I'd hate to see my car at the mercy of some tow truck operator. Most of all though, I don't want to hurt anyone and I want to get it (the video part) right on the first try. I've gone fast plenty of times but it's always been a spur of the moment decision to make the dash. Something about doing it on purpose with planning in advance makes me want to do it right.
