He drives a Street Mod Mustang, and the course was deemed safe by at least 2 saftey stewards. You were going straight, nothing to hit, no reason to even come close to losing control.
FWIW, I was shifting to 4th right before the lights in my E-stock car.
Thats about ~72 on the speedo.
Last year's SE Divisonal in Savannah saw 75mph through the lights of STS cars. The prepared and mod cars were going quite a bit faster im sure.
The First PRO event in Talladega had S2000s nudging the rev limiter in 3rd, thats ~90mph.
All of those events had ZERO accidents caused by the high speed. On the other hand, the Ft. Myers ProSolo this past weekend had 3 accidents, while top speed was limited to ~70mph by the SS cars.
