Not to be a wet blanket, but the limited speed is a good thing when you're around asshats with zero high-speed experience. Keeps everyone safe and their cars from being wadded up.

I love triple digit speesd and high lateral-G forces as much as the other guy, but from my track experience with motorcycles, there's tons of people you don't wanna be near on open road when there's no speed limit. And that's with only risking a $10k bike, much less a $15k-$25k+ truck.

Can you even keep it on the bank at that speed?

yes.....TMS doesn't have that much banking. Daytona you have to 95 to keep it on the bank


75 around the track would be just like driving on the freeway and that blows, even for charity that's not worth it.

I hit 100-105 on the straights last time. 75mph is just for show. the plan is to slow(60-75) in the corners, and wot on the straights. Just don't go to slow and fall back too much, they will think something is wrong and escort you around the track.
