Re: 120mph??? Yes.



       I don't know who originally started this thread, but I have to add my
   $0.02 worth in here...
   ...
	  I told my dad last month that I was seriously considering doing the
   One Lap of America with some friends and my dad told me straight out that he
   objected to me doing this ...BIG TIME.  And, my dad is a speed freak and racing
   fanatic himself.  He told me that those guys get next to no sleep and have to
   drive rediculous triple-digit speeds on public roads to get to where they need
   to be in that amount of time.  I think he had read a lot about those who do it

I think you're confusing the One Lap with the [near apocryphal]
Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Dash. The One Lap is,
or at least is billed as, a completely street-legal sane rational
road trip. All public-road legs are at legal limits; the various
track/etc. events are of course another matter...it is a *long*
road trip, and you are driving a *lot*...but it is a safe and
reasonable road trip. Or so they say.
