The "Opposite Of Drag" Tracks?

Are there tracks, where instead of running the 1/4 Mile as fast as you can, that you can test the Top Speed of your car?

Yeah, like mattj said. just drive out to the autobahn. Might wanna fit some pontoons on the side of the car first.

ROFL.

if you really wanna do a speed test just hit the highway late at night in an area you know well.

there is a stretch by my house which is actually next to bandimere speedway, i managed to hit 140 about a week ago or so.

Still lookin for the speed governer
