I've been fast enough to see 3 digits in my car, but only a for a short period of time.

I'm not as brave as I was when I had a rice rocket that I took to 150+mph (granted this was what the speedo read and probably not how fast I was actually going).

Short story, I was a passenger taking readings in a Cobra R when the brakes boiled over as we were trying to slow down from 150 mph in the straightaway at Grattan Raceway in Michigan. My cheeks pucker (fastest Hail Mary anyone has probably ever heard) as the driver slides the car left and right to scrub off some speed before straightening out into the grass. Fortunately the only damage was to our shorts...
