Still a great track! The just repaved the track from turn two to nine, so it's a lot smoother than it used to be.

There are lots of roads in Washington where it would be easy to hit 130 +. It just depends on your tolerance for risk (as in getting busted).

Garage
Tracked at a lot of high speed tracks including Pocono raceway. which is scary fast 145 to 152 MPH, VIR 134 to 140 MPH, and Watkins Glen 130 to 135 MPH. The car feel rock solid.

It sounds like you need to replace your struts
