At his braking marker on Road Atlanta's longest straight Jody is running over 160mph. He runs 3.55 gears there. At Road America he ran tearly 190mph up the long hill.

I so wish I had the spare cash to do actual racing. Since I don't I'm stuck doing track days, but hey its better than nothing so can't really complain.
