"Whats The Fastest You've Been on that Thing?"

Speed desensitizes you too. I know if you see it often enough it feels normal. Cant tell you how many times coming home from the races that I braked for a light and that 1500 series truck didn't want to stop. From just 45-55.

Seemed as if I was doin 20. And then there is the whole sudden stop thing. Stopping in a tire wall at 60 feels like 200 fo sho. God help me if I ever hit one at 150

Tire walls without a car around you are not even remotely soft...

Well I got lucky. TWS in Sept '02. It was closer to 70 but they had air fence, tire wall, and then 'crete. Young man died there the year before, Spies knew him. Number 19.
