I have never heard of any organization where driving at 150 mph, or close to it, took place anywhere except on tracks with drivers with NCCC high speed licenses. 150 mph on any "back roads" would be illegal, suicidal, brainless and potentially homicidal.

Rep. That has been posted here several times over the years. Criminal and nutty, IMO. Hopefully this site is monitored by law enforcement.

If you simply put some posters screenname into a Google search it sometimes gives you some history on that particular poster.

Not all do it. But some do. There are some areas in FL that are open and clear of cars. These cars pop up to a 100+ in a flash with 500 to 800hp.

These roads have no intersections for miles where a car could enter the roadway? At 100mph your stopping distance is approximately double the stopping distance at 65mph Hitting one small pot hole or some road debris at 100 mph and you've got problems. Expect to burn 2-2.5x as much fuel at 100mph vs 65mph. Easy to find gas along these roads?

In FL driving 30 mph over the speed limit is going to get you a court appearance and you could be looking at a reckless driving charge, could have your license revoked, suspended, and your car impounded. A speeding ticket like that would severely increase your insurance or lead to its cancellation.

You're saying that multiple vehicles are going 100 mph + on some back road? Not a chance. A Corvette Z06 has a supercharged 6.2L V8 capable of 650 Hp. 0-60 in about 3 seconds. It will cost you at least $80,000.

You've fallen for the trap - you've given recognition to his car and what seems like total stupidity by him and his gang of Merry Men who feel it's cool to drive at 150 mph on public roads.

Had a successful Half Marathon Gasparilla run this a.m. on Bayshore and through Davis Islands with 7,000+ other runners.

Beat my goal of keeping it under 2 hrs by 2 mins (1:58).

Not in the areas we were in today. There is a lead driver every month that picks out a route and a place to eat.
Just got back home. 300 miles today. Once you get east of Polk there is nothing. Don't tell me not a chance lance as you have no clue. Pm me and come on of our cruises. I am 550hp with my C6 and it don't cost anywhere near 80k with mods. Some of the cars are 800+ hp at well over 120k. Not all cruises are fast.
