150 ish..........
60 down plank road on those 60-70's PowerWagons the GW/MPs had was a wild ride, especially blackout after a rain and you didn't know if there was a washout or not.Anout 145 mph with only a parachute on my back
cars? So in 1986 i went through a training course on “offensive driving” conducted by Billy Scott racing (billy died in 2009)
we had vehicles we called “phase 2 cars” - basically NASCAR type vehicles with three seats
you wouldn’t believe me onhow fast we’d run those cars down Manchester and king roads on the north side of Bragg to get to a training site,,,,
it was fun
and no one died
My top speed of 85 in my old ranger was actually on plank road haha… I got pissed everyone was tailgating and passing me dangerously so I maxed er out and one guy still went around me….60 down plank road on those 60-70's PowerWagons the GW/MPs had was a wild ride, especially blackout after a rain and you didn't know if there was a washout or not.

I had my 86 and a half Nissan 4wd bouncing off the sides of the dirt "bumpers" I'll call them, at 70mph on Morganton between Manchester and Holland DZ. My hunting buddy didn't like that at all.Anout 145 mph with only a parachute on my back

You got me. I only done 139 on lap 3.141 mph in a stock car around Charlotte Motor Speedway. I felt so slow. Driving my SUV at 105 mph across Alligator Alley felt a lot faster.
There’s nothing quite like a luxury couch bolted down to a 2 barrel 383 and automatic. I love those old Newport’s120+ in a 1965 Chrysler Newport wherabouts unknown
The speedometer only went to 120 & it nudged just past that so 122 maybe. It might have had a little more , or maybe not. I'll never know , I had to back out of it.
Mike
the surface of that Kansas two lane was starting to look like the narrow edge of a 1x4
Piggybacking off the BMW thread, how fast y’all been? Only stipulation is that you had to have been behind the wheel/bars/controls…
(closed circuit of course)
Personally, I’m not sure. But the speedo was on the peg at 160 and had been before I ran out of roa…errr track
Little over 100mph on the water in a drag boat......never again!!
