Yupo talks cheap - every guy in line for the 130 mph club tells
stories of 140 or 150 - course when the actually try it - 95% of em
don't make it. You loose 10 % to the traction problems on the salt -
and the difference between 120 and 130 is huge - wind resistance and
such - but you loose most of your speed due to the liars factor -
turns out it's alot easier to tell stories about how fast your car is -
than to actually reach those speeds - hope this isn't sounding
familiar Darrel.

Been there - done that - and have the certificates and the
documentation to prove it
gonzo


Can't attest to salt, could do it on asphalt though (cars I've owned).
If the car "you" provide isn't up to the task, that isn't the drivers
fault...

I've collected enough legal paper (from 4 states) to last me several
lifetimes. All of them for speeds less than they lock you away for,
never for the ones they do...

As for planes having a 250 mph one of my own is a ways off, a 150 mph
one isn't...
