ok... could somebody please explain this race to me? Do the drivers serve jailtime, I mean, in texas if you are going over 85 and you get pulled over, you are screwed. So whats the deal? Please explain how this race is even legal to organize...

Texas is not that bad at all...

I remember that 5 years ago I got pulled over by a police officer for driving at 93 MPH... He did not seem to be very upset. In a very proper way he asked me to go with him to the nearest town and pay a fine of $ 186.00

Maybe because it was on " Thanksgiving day" his heart was kind !

Of course at that time I was living in Mexico and I was not familiar with the speeding limits in the US.

Thanks for the link!

Well most of these guys are European drivers so I guess they don't care if their license gets taken away.

Badinfo,

You need to remember that we here in Texas get to take defensive driving if you're going 24 or less over the limit. I don't know where you picked up that 85MPH number. In a 70 zone you can get nailed at 94 and still take defensive driving...I love this state! I've been speeding around here for almost 20 years and have never had anything on my record. The only problem is you have to wait 12 months to take defensive driving again.

In my mind there is no difference between driving 71 and 94 except that you can get back down to the limit faster. If I'm going to get a ticket at 80 I might as well go 94!

Now if you're an out-of-stater I'm not sure what's gonna happen!
