    Question. How do you grow a set large enough to do that?

    That is scary. I have spent a lot of time at 125/130 and that brings an entirely different world, beginning with the difficulty in simply reading road signs.
    Trucks are limited to 90 km/hr, about 55 mph. If you come up on two trucks passing you can easily be closing at 75 mph, there is little room for error or stupid. At 240 that goes to a whole different dynamic.

    I'm going to guess that was done on Sunday when only permit trucks can run. Still nuts

    My street record is 162 mph in a Corvette. The front end felt like it wanted to take off so I let off. I did this on a six Lane road that was designed to move traffic in and out of a race track in a rural area on a Sunday morning. I had my wife go about a mile and a half ahead of me and we had two-way radios. Man was a stupid then. And never again.
